There was a good article on the personalities involved a while back. Jackson has been a high performer under Reid and Kelly so my question is why wouldn't he be under Gruden? To answer your question, I don't think Jackson respected Kelly like the media that fawns over Kelly, he saw him as a college coach who doesn't understand the way the NFL does things(partly my opinion partly from the aforementioned article). So maybe Jackson gave lip for coming in on Tuesdays when every other team was off, or stuff like that, but on the field he performed. I also think Gruden sought out Jackson, much like Reid did. and for a guy who wants his importance to be recognized, that builds trust and relationship, something Kelly by most accounts did not have with him.
