I find it interesting that no news about this hiring is being reported by either GB or Atlanta.

Well, Gray's potential replacement could be hiding in plain sight for the Packers.

Aubrey Pleasant
Last year the Lions were going extremely high risk with their DBs and their DBs got burned early and often... and so the Lions head coach said he absolutely hated to do it, because he loved DB coach Aubrey Pleasant but he had to change something...

And LaFleur and the Packers signed him to help with offense (I assume helping the offense by pointing things out from a defensive protective).

But Aubrey Pleasant has spent 2015 through 2020 on staff with Joe Berry, with both the Commanders and Rams. And Matt LaFleur even was with them for the 2017 Rams.

Lost the coach of the only somewhat bright spot on the defense lol.

Maybe bringing in someone new will give the defense some new/better ideas so that’s okay.

I was hoping we'd have a new defensive coordinator, but that doesn't seem to be the case and our base candidate for an in house replacement left.

Supposedly very few of the Cowboys coaches are under contract but they're still waiting to see what happens. Anyways, they have Joe Whitt Jr. and Al Harris.

Probably just the fan in me, but Al Harris would make me happy. Not sure what kind of coach he is, but as a player he played with an attitude I would like this Defense to have.

Good point. I think it’s always a good idea to have former players as a coach.

Isn't Al Harris the DB coordinator in Dallas with MM?

Well, this has to make you feel warm and fuzzy.

"Gray had let his contract run out with the Packers and was free to pursue other opportunities. He was GB's defensive backs/passing game coordinator and very popular with the DBs. Also went out of his way last year to distance himself from Joe Barry's scheme. A bold approach."
