Sources: Memphis Tigers to hire Washington Redskins assistant coach Jerry Gray - ESPN

so much for any of those hopes about him taking over the defense.

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.

fcukkkk

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

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.

This is pure speculation.

Is it possible, that Blache, Snyder, and Gibbs conspired to let Gray take over the media duties to give him more exposure. I realize this would involve assigning less petty motives to our owner/staff than normal, but it seems very possible to me. Didn't Gibbs dinner with Snyder come around the same time? again, pure speculation, but perhaps Gibbs discussed Memphis as a possibility, and Blache backed off to let Gray have some air time. Seems that would be an invaluable asset in showing his presentability.

I am sad to see Gray go as a Skins fan but happy as a Memphis alum to welcome him in to the fold. Memphis has produced several NFL players and I'm looking forward to seeing even more now that Coach Gray is in town.

If Coach Gray happens to read this forum please make sure to make a trip to A&R bbq, one of the cities many hidden gems.

I don't know about Coach Gray reading this, but one day I'm gonna make it to Memphis & do a blues/bbq tour. I'll keep A&R in mind!

I don't know. I don't see NFL DC when I think of him. The college ranks will be good for him. If he does well for a few years then maybe he will get a chance.

Good for Gray but I really, really hate to see him go.
