When Greg Gregory joined the TSU staff in 2016, he brought a wealth of experience to draw upon, including two seasons as a head coach and 16 years at Army, where he spent nine seasons as the offensive coordinator. He spent the final seven of his nine years at Army as the associate head coach. Gregory also earned Athlon Magazine’s Assistant Coach of the Year award in 1996.
On January 22, 2007, Gregory was promoted to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the University of South Florida Bulls after two seasons as the tight ends coach. In those same two years, Gregory played an influential role in USF's offense along with then-coordinator Rod Smith.
Prior to joining USF, Gregory was offensive coordinator at Ohio from 2001-2003, where he played a major role in helping the Bobcats to score an average of 32 points in MAC play in 2002, the program’s highest average in more than 25 years.
Gregory was also offensive coordinator at Richmond, his alma mater, in 2000, helping the Spiders to a 10-3 record and a berth in the NCAA I-AA playoffs.
It was immediately prior to that 2000 season that Gregory was a head coach at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Missouri, holding that job in 1998 and 1999.
The major bulk of Gregory’s coaching career came at Army, where he began as a part-time assistant in 1982 under head coach Ed Cavanaugh. He first worked with receivers in 1982 and 1983 and then assumed command of the tight ends in 1984, while he also worked that one season as the head coach of the junior varsity team.
In 1985 he began the first of two seasons as the running backs coach before spending the 1987 season coaching the quarterbacks. It was in 1989 that Gregory became offensive coordinator and in 1991 he added associate head coach to his duties at Army.
While at Army, he helped lead the program to its only four Bowl Games in the Academy’s history and the Cadets won 10 of 16 games against arch-rival Navy. The Cadets also led the nation in rushing four separate times during Gregory’s tenure. He coached Ron McAda, the only Army quarterback ever drafted into the NFL and running back Mike Mayweather, who rushed for more than 4,000 career yards.
From 1982-85, while coaching at Army, Gregory was also a commissioned officer in the United States Army with a rank of captain.
Gregory began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Virginia in 1980, two years prior to starting his long stint with Army. He was a quarterback himself at Richmond, lettering in three of his four seasons with the team between 1976-79.
He earned his Bachelor of Arts in physical education at Richmond in 1980 and went on to earn 24 credit hours in sports psychology graduate studies at Virginia.
