Jerry Gray is a candidate to become the next head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that the Titans have granted the Colts permission to talk to Gray, Tennessee’s defensive coordinator.

This isn’t Gray’s first interview: He recently interviewed for the head coaching vacancy in Tampa Bay, and he was involved in a controversial interview with the Redskins in 2009, which many observers, including Tony Dungy, said appeared to be an attempt to follow the letter of the Rooney Rule while violating the rule’s spirit.

Gray was a player for the Rams, Oilers and Buccaneers and has been an assistant coach with the Bills, Redskins and Seahawks before joining the Titans’ staff in 2011.
