As the lone internal candidate that head coach Matt LaFleur has chosen to interview, current defensive backs coach Jerry Gray has a lengthy track record that should interest LaFleur in his hunt for a defensive coordinator.
Having prior experience as a DC in both Tennessee and Buffalo, Gray has experienced various levels of success across the league, and that is why he was brought in to help lead the DB’s for Green Bay. Gray was in Minnesota prior to joining their southeastern divisional rival, and the Packers have been able to reap those benefits from day one.
Jaire Alexander has continued his strong play and has gotten even better (as hard as that may be), and he has earned a stout reputation across the league as being one of the few CB’s that should not be thrown at – Tom Brady found that out twice in the NFC Championship Game.
