Munch has identified leading candidates for DC and LB coach

Don't think so, I think our DB coaches have been Jerry Gray, Chuck Cecil, Marcus Robertson.

 

George Plaster wrongly said on the radio yesterday that Gray took the DC job at Texas. If that was true he would not want this job but it is not the DC job he is the secondary coach there.

Did a good job with the Bills, has plenty of NFL experience overall. Would be a nice hire. I agree it is surprising that somebody hasn't already hired him for a Dc position. There are quite a few bad coordinators out there and he has positive experince. Same with Guinta and Trogvac.

 

There is someone between Gray and Cecil since Cecil's first job was quality control in 2001.

 

2001-2005 was Everett Withers

 

That is true though... to an extent. He's Texas' DB coach.

 

Sounds like a guy who appeared in a lot of westerns in the 1930s. A Gabby Hayes, Walter Brennan wannabee.

 

I'm starting to get confused...and I'll admit I pay little attention to coaches on other teams who rank below head coach...but have we heard any rumblings of names that do not have a direct link to Oilers/Titans...does everyone Munchak like have a tie to the team?

 

We might as well rename this franchise the oilers.

Spent 2010 as the Seahawks defensive backs coach.

On January 17, 2011, Gray returned to his alma mater to join the Texas Longhorns staff as assistant head coach and defensive backs coach.


Makes sense to me. Played on the Oilers. He's a Texas guy. Born in Texas. Good player. Good coach. Munch wants him (rumored), lets go get him!

 

other than the number of times being a Pro-bowler this could be Chuck Cecil you are talking about. We all know how that turned out
