The Clarets are looking to appoint a new boss after Eddie Howe finalised his move to Bournemouth on Friday.
Jones could now take his first steps into management at Turf Moor, according to The Mirror.
The 42-year-old is thought to have turned down the chance to manage former club Swansea City over the summer.
