Jones played a crucial role in implementing a highly aggressive blitz defence for England, achieving victories including a notable win over Six Nations champions Ireland at Twickenham.
The situation surrounding Jones' exit raised concerns about the working environment under Borthwick, especially given the departure of key figures like Aled Walters and Tom Tombleson.
Despite initial expectations of overseeing the attack, Jones found himself in a defence coach role, which contributed to his discontent according to sources close to him.
The Rugby Football Union intends to enforce Jones' 12-month notice, possibly affecting his chances to join the Lions, where he was a strong candidate.
