The Quinn Gray era is underway at Florida A&M as the Rattler alumnus was introduced as Head Coach of the team on Friday afternoon. Gray’s return to the institution is notable due to his role as the signal caller of the widely successful “Gulf Coast Offense” under legendary head coach Billy Joe. He also served on the sidelines in Tallahassee, working as an assistant for the Rattlers in the early 2010s.But, in his introductory press conference, Gray made it clear that he is not the same man that Florida A&M faithful knew him as in the past.“As the leader of this program, let me help you understand who I am not. I am not the 19-year-old Quinn Gray that played against Youngstown State over 30 years ago. If you are still living in that decade, shame on you. I am not the Quinn Gray who was getting his first coaching role here in 2010, 2011, I am not that Quinn Gray.”He then went on to define who he is at this moment.“I am the Quinn Gray, who’s a division two national championship coach, who just led a school to 12 wins, the highest wins in a university’s history. And I am a leader of men that is going to take this program back to where it wants and needs and always should be. And that’s at the top of not only HBCU football, but FCS football.”
