Torian Gray back as DB Coach?
- Thread starter ocalaman
- Start date
Warren initially signed a two-year contract with Florida. He made $200,000 during the 2018 season, when he was still receiving money from his termination settlement at Tennessee following the firing of head coach Butch Jones and his staff. He was slated to receive a scheduled raise to $400,000 in base salary with Florida for the 2019 season.

Torrian Gray Quote # 1
Motivational -- First of all, in that position you’ve got to believe in yourself. All those guys that are really great at the position, they believe in themselves. Because you’re going to get beat, not everything is going to go well. So he has that savvy, that cockiness or arrogance or whatever, competitiveness about him that you’ve got to have to be a top-flight corner.
Getting Gray back to replace Warren would be addition by subtraction imoho...

If I was Elam, I think I'd rather play for Gray at DB-U, than for the 'used car salesman' Warren at UGly. But if Elam really wants to be a nutt-licker, then so be it....

When I first saw the post it not only had the Gator logo on it and his job described at defensive backs coach for Florida, but the 2 NFL scores from yesterday at the top of the page. That sure made it look legit. But now the job area is blank as is the logo box on the right.
But if Wikipedia says it, it must be true, Right??!!

And now the reference to him being hired today at UF has been removed. Somebody is having a lot of fun out there messing with us.

Coach Mullen said. "His track record of preparing players for the NFL and his success coaching at that level speaks for itself. Meanwhile, with his strong recruiting ties to the state of Florida and the fact that he played for Coach Grantham in college will make this transition seamless." --- The fact that he played for Coach Grantham at VaTech makes him a great choice to replace Jawja's new 'used care salesman.'
Addition by subtraction indeed: -- Florida (2016)
Gray served as the DB coach at UF. Under Gray's guidance, CB Teez Tabor earned 1st-team All-SEC honors from both the AP and the SEC coaches while also garnering 2nd-team AA honors from numerous outlets. Gray also helped guide DB Quincy Wilson (Marco's brother) to 2nd-team All-SEC honors.
So WELCOME Coach Gray...

LOL@ UGA taking Warren off our hands allowing us to upgrade.
IF Kirby was really smart,,,, then he'd have gone after Gray instead of adding to his 'used care salesman' coaching staff...
So thanks, Qribby-do....

Hey man, I graduated in 1973 as well. Welcome to the old fart's club!
Bwahahahahahaha, how does one tag the jawja posters, I never learned, lol......love to get input from Gwinnett and all the other loser dawggies loitering around this board, bwahahahaha. They strutted like they poached our coach...... nah, you paid for our upgrade, bwahahaha.
So are you mad he’s gone or glad? Some of y’all turn on your own really quickly. It’s hard to keep up.
The secondary for Florida was pretty good this year, so I guess Warren did a good job. He took a job closer to his hometown - good for him. We replaced him with someone most people think is better with a longer, proven track record. Good for us.
Kirby just got bent over. What an idiot, he pays $700k a year for an average coach and Mullen upgrades. Stupid Mutts think they are getting Elam and Mar too.
As far as on field coaching I never cared about him leaving. I thought the move he pulled was trash because it was obviously orchestrated with the intent to damage UF. You can’t tell me UGA announcing the hire with Elam on campus was all coincidence. People are now saying he took the job weeks ago and they kept it hush hush so they could announce it this weekend for the biggest impact.
So yea I don’t care about him leaving from an on field standpoint he’s not that good. I don’t think you’d find anybody here who thought he was some superior asset as a coach. And not even you can look at both these coaches resumes and argue Warren is in the same class as Gray.
Not sour grapes, and nothwitstanding some sporadic, but spectacular, individual talent-based plays, sadgator thought the secondary as a whole kind of underperformed this past year...
Not sure if that was based on injuries, scheme, coaching, or if the statistical rankings even support that belief...
It just felt that way...

Neither of us knows. But why all the talk Corey Raymond then? I don’t know much about Gray. Maybe he is but that’s not the point. This weekend many were mad Warren was leaving now he’s being trashed as a shitty coach. Whatever works. I’m about all argued out now. UFhad a much better season than most expected. Congrats on that.
Summary for those buttsniffers that claim to be confused over Gator fan attitudes.
1. UGly + Warren = underhanded back-stabbing in an attempt to affect UF recruiting.
Result -- Gator fans react by taking a well deserved chit on both Warren & UGly.
2. 'Dan the Man' hires a super upgrade DB coach.
Result --- Gator fan throw that in the faces of the mutt butt-sniffers that thought they had achieved a coaching steal coup... (Elam is now a maybe since Dan got Gray)
And if you don't know who Torrian Gray is, then here's an easy way to become informed.

Read that, then give us Gator fans your honest opinions on which one of us made out,,,, and which one just bought an over-paid ($700,000 Yr) 'pig in a poke' coach, in an underhanded 'used car salesman' attempt to sign Elam and MAR.

Honestly, at this point it's only a matter of time before Saban comes calling and brings The Beaver home to Alabama and leaves UGLY hanging with nothing but suspect NCAA infractions looming. If Saban has already gone hard after us after just 1 year to replenish his coaching ranks, do you not think he's also taking a hard look at the other top programs in The SEC for their coaches? Texas A&M, LSU, and Jortgia should all be shielding their nuts when Saban is on the phone with an open checkbook in front of him.IF Kirby was really smart,,,,
So thanks, Qribby-do....
Remember that it was the secondary that flat out lost the game against georgia. We completely stopped their running game and even despite giving up the ball 3 times to the enemy of all enemies, we were ahead on score in the 2nd half and were outplaying them tremendously. It wasn't until the 4th quarter that The Beaver figured out that we were missing our starting 2 CBs for the game and he started having Froom throw deep passes to the sidelines to gouge us. That was a total failure on our secondary, which was severely depleted grant you, but otherwise we were winning that game in most every other category. Twice as much rushing yards as they had after the 3rd quarter and the O line was holding up just fine against their googly-eyed bastards up front.
We need depth and the guys hopefully get some good coaching and develop better after a year under their belts. CJ Henderson is most likely going to be a 1st or 2nd team all SEC for 2019, #2 Stewart plays his position pretty solidly, and as far as 21 Trey Dean is concerned, he can't get any worse than he was in 2018. That or an incoming Freshman will show more skill and get the start over Dean's 1 year of experience. We can only go up from where we were in 2018.
Don't forget that for the large part, the defensive line and our pass rush completely masked our weak secondary in 2018. The pressure we were able to put on opposing teams, especially as Grantham loves to keep that pressure on, really covered up for a lot of poor or bad play. I mean seriously, the linebackers had more interceptions on the year than the backs did.
Why not? Alabama has what Georgia doesn't have, the pedigree and THE MONEY. Why wouldn't Kirby take that upgrade path?
And don't get me wrong, I don't think we are upgrading so much at DB coach, and certainly not talking crap to jortgia about them taking our DB coach. If that's what works for them, then they did their job. Alot of this "upgrade at the position" talk seems to be some sour grapes on our part. Whatever, it happens. These are nothing but corporations and they are bidding for the best talent that they can buy and don't care one bit about stealing from the competitors. Blue Origin has "stolen" well over 250 of SpaceX's top engineers over the past 4 years and all it boils down to for them is wanting the talent and the experience, and be willing to acquire it based on better working conditions, pay, and other various situations. Does that make Blue Origin the bad guy? Hell no, SpaceX has stolen most of it's existing technology from Blue Origin to begin with, but I'm sure there are sour grapes amongst both companies towards each other.
Not really. Look at their resumes objectively, one is much better than the other. Not even that close really. I'd say the same thing if we had kept Warren and they had gotten Gray.
LMAO. Not that I did before, but I just can’t take you seriously.
Lol, all I had to do was put an "@" and manually spell the username? I'm sad.....thought it was some button somewhere in the options that I couldn't find, lol.
Thankfully you do not work for me and I don't care what you take seriously. One less thing for me to stress over.
Well I will reserve any judgements till I see them play this coming year. The proof is in the pudding and if we prevent Froom from passing on us and beating us in 2019 like he did last year, then I will be won over. A resume never won anyone a football game before. Considering Froom lost his top 3 targets from 2018, this shouldn't be that big of a task for our secondary. They can have talented replacements all they want but they can't replace the game time experience they just lost.
Show me on the field he's an upgrade is all I'm saying. Still concerned more at DL than anything.
