Let me see what if I got what others are saying is correct, we take someone who does not have any Co-ordinator quality background or HCing experience and make him a HC. Sorry I don't see DS making the same mistake twice. He might get the DC job with whoever we bring in as HC.

Forgot sorry. But again how was the defense when he was there? Hopefully he has learned something while working with GW and Blache.

wiki says they were good.

"Gray served as the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2001 to 2005, where he oversaw one of the top defenses in the NFL until his final season."

and from redskins.com

"While with Buffalo in 2005, Gray directed a Bills defense that battled multiple injuries. The unit finished 29th in the league in total defense.

In 2004, Gray led a defense that finished second in the NFL in total defense and top five in the NFL in touchdowns allowed (29), yards allowed per game (264.2), passing yards allowed per game (164.0), sacks registered (45) and led the league with 39 turnovers forced.

He orchestrated a major defensive turnaround in 2003 when his defense finished the year ranked second in the NFL in total defense (second against the pass, eighth against the run). His defense also ranked fifth overall in points allowed in 2003."
