I hadn't realized Gibbs was involved in this, but good for Gray he deserves this opportunity. He'll be coaching Fred Smith's son at QB, the aptly named Cannon.

Good for Gray. Sad for us. I think this isn't about implosion as much as a much deserved promotion for a quality nfl coach.

Looks like the children have found another opportunity to use profanity. :rolleyes:

It's a good opportunity for him and I hope he does well. I think this is another clear indication of a housecleaning this offseason. There's really no reason for Snyder to let Gray leave if he had any intention of retaining anyone from the staff. If there was one coach to retain, it would probably be Gray.

Now the biggest question is if he leaves before the end of the season, does Kirk Olividatti take over the media duties that Greg Blache finds beneath him?

yea sucks to see him leave, but he does deserve it hope memph does well.

re: Update: Jerry Gray Not Taking Memphis Job
 

Nice to see a member of the coaching staff get a boost...especially Gray cuz it seems he's a class guy.

I wonder if this has implications for coaching staff decisions in '10. Blache is certain to leave, right? Gray was probably the next in line for D coord. With both gone it seems like the FO, whatever that is, will look outside the franchise for new leadership on the defensive side of the coaching staff.

what was Gray coach of?

Secondary. Personally I think secondary coaches tend to be great DC/HC candidates. There's a lot of scheming and packaging in the secondary so these guys are typically real smart. Tomlin was secondary coach first...I bet a lot more solid HCs out there were secondary guys early on too.

It's a shame he didn't get the job a few years sooner, he could have had Deangelo Williams in his arsenal. Good for him though.

John Harbaugh was secondary coach in Philly before taking the Baltimore job. And I think Raheem Morris was a secondary coach before being bumped to HC, but I'm not positive.
