This article in the news says that Clements is indeed gone but Gray denies that he has resigned.

he said he would still like to coach in Buffalo if he does not get a head coaching job somewhere else.

After making this D #2 ranked in the league, he had one bad season due to injuries and FAs and you want to send him packing already?

According to Ch. 4 last night he resigned and Krumrie is also out.

The article came out today and quotes Gray saying he has not resigned. To me it sounds like gray is still on board but I guess we'll find out when they announce the coaching changes.

I do. Does that one stat make him immune from a failing season in '05. They went from first to worst.

I think most of his success can be attributed to LeBeau and Williams contributions. And, I really don't like the 46. really...really


In one years time:

Pittsburgh Steelers (http://www.kffl.com/team/30/nfl) defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau (http://www.kffl.com/player/1961/nfl) has been named the Assistant Coach of the Year, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com.

..and we all know what Williams did for Tennesee and Washington as a DC.

i have to agree

when lebeau left i was very concerned that gray would be able to hold the defense to the same standard - obviously he hasnt

yes, injuries were a big problem but i cant imagine a lebeau or williams (or wade) defense falling that far even if they had to field a team of grammas

With all respect to Mr. Morita, Gray had our D getting their ass kicked like Daniel-son.

I believe the test of a great, ok, even good coordinator is what they do when they don't have great players available to them. I really think we should all be going, wow, look what Gray's been able to do with the guys he has left.

Instead, what have we all said: "Holy S, look what Gray can't do with the guys we have. We still have Schobel and Fletcher. McGee and Milloy. And, he KNEW going into this year he wouldn't have Pat. He couldn't guess that Sam would draw more attention without Pat in the middle plugging things up?

Furthermore, someone on another thread said we shouldn't play backs up on opposing WRs tight because we don't have a decent pass rush and they'll get burned. Sorry. Tried that and it doesn't work. Both go hand in hand.

If they can bump guys at the line and disrupt their timing, that gives the line one more second to get to the QB. It was amazing to watch Gray not do this though against teams and especially NE all the time. Brady is a one-step and release guy on slants when he sees this alignment, yet we kept playing them soft.

Goodbye Jerry.

I think this teams needs an entire clean start. The only coach who should be safe is Bobby April, IMO, and obviously Mularkey is safe.
