Don't most teams have one secondary coach to begin with anyway? I think the only reason we got 2 coaches back in the secondary is that this was carried forward from the time when Joe Gibbs came in and hired a ton of coaches and all types of assistants and seemed pretty overkill as to the amount of coaches on the team. Wouldn't having one secondary coach make more sense anyway?

Jackson is the coach for the safetys only. Gray for the DB's. As far as I know it's standard to have one coach for the DB's and one for the safties. The Giants do, and probably the rest of the league also. On a side note I just heard on ComCast that the Redskins have denied the Houston Texans permission to talk to Gray about the DC job in Houston, saying he was still under contract to us. His agent is saying the Redskins do not have the right to stop him from talking to Houston. It's gonna get interesting.
