Blache Hands Media Duties over to Gray
A week after throwing himself "under the bus" for the Redskins' poor performance defensively, defensive coordinator Greg Blache has informed team officials he no longer will speak with the media this season, a team spokesman said today...
...Gray will handle Blache's previous media duties, a Redskins spokesman said, but Gray did not confirm that while speaking with reporters. "Ah, who knows?" Gray said. "We'll see."
NFL rules mandate that teams make coordinators available to the media and the Redskins said they received permission from the league to have Gray, who has served as a coordinator in his career, take over for Blache although Gray currently is not a coordinator.

Unless Grey is being promoted to defensive coordinator very soon, the Skins have to make Blache available to the media. So, what's going on here? I see 5 possibilities.
1. Blache, fed up with all the drama in D.C., is retiring, and Grey is taking over for him.
2. Blache is being demoted.
3. Blache is soon to be named head coach.
4. Nothings changed with the coaching staff. The Skins and/or Blache were unaware of the NFL requirement to make coordinators available to the media, and everything will return to normal next week.
5. Blache is sick of talking to the media, so he convinced Snyder to name him Assistant Head Coach - Defense and Grey Defensive Coordinator to satisfy NFL media requirements.
