Texas alum Jerry Gray is returning to the school to join the Longhorns staff as an assistant head coach and defensive backs coach, head coach Mack Brown announced Monday. Gray is a 23-year veteran of the NFL, having played nine seasons for the Rams, Houston Oilers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Most recently, Gray was a defensive backs coach with the Seattle Seahawks. "This is truly an exciting opportunity for me and my family," Gray said. "Not very many guys get the chance to come back and coach where they played and to do that at a place that is as special as Texas ... it's just an unbelievable opportunity. I've enjoyed getting to know Coach Brown, and I've been so proud watching everything they've been accomplishing since he took over, and to have a chance to be a part of that is a dream come true."
