Seems some of our hopes for Gray returning to Houston are possibly shared by Gray himself, assuming he isn't offered any HC opportunities.

Gray a Wanted Man in Houston?
Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray confirmed that, while he loves his job here, he is very interested in being a defensive coordinator again. He will interview with Detroit for its head coaching job, and while it isn't certain that he will land a head coaching gig, he seems very likely to get strong consideration for the job of defensive coordinator in Houston.
Several players believe that position is very intriguing to Gray (a former Houston Oiler with ties to that area), and expect him to leave the Redskins for a promotion. Safeties coach Steve Jackson has strong ties to members of the Texans' front office, and with their defense being reshaped, they might make a play for Jackson, too.

As I posted in another thread, I think Gray might be the ideal candidate for the Texans if Kubiak doesn't just give the job to Frank Bush. Gray interviewed here for the HC job when it was awarded to Kubiak, and he has had documented success as a DC on his resume.
The Steve Jackson speculation is also interesting... I'm sure many of us remember him from the Oilers. Jackson was a CB at Purdue, which I think must be the reason behind the comment on his ties to the front office. GM Rick Smith was his teammate at safety.
