As a proven and outstanding quarterback mentor, Raymond Gross is now entering into his second year back with the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats football staff. Last season, Gross spent time coaching the A-Back for B-CU, but will now switch his attention back to his natural-skilled position ... the quarterbacks. He will be in charge of helping them to learn and run the patented "Wyattbone" option attack, as well as how to read and cover for almost any defense that can be thrown at them in the Wildcats offensive backfield. Before returning to Bethune-Cookman last season, Gross spent some time at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga., as the Offensive Coordinator and was previously the quarterbacks coach at Bethune-Cookman while teaching former names like Pa'Tell Troutman and Allen Suber. Gross began his playing days in college with the infamous option-attack program of Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia. While at GSU, Gross was a dominant part of the offense as an All-American quarterback from 1987-90. He led the team to a perfect 15-0 record under legendary coach Erk Russell at GSU, and helped the Eagles to the 1989 NCAA I-AA National Championship. He returned the favor in 1990 with another championship under the Eagles belt, this time under coach Tim Stowers. These accolades, and more, allowed Gross to be inducted into the GSU Athletic Hall of Fame. Gross served for three years at B-CC from 1999-2002 as the quarterbacks coach and helped the Wildcats in getting the now-infamous "Wyattbone" offense even stronger from the quarterback prospective. After departing from B-CC, Gross made his way over to Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Ga. While with the Panthers program, Gross helped the team in becoming a legitimate SIAC (Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) contender year-in and year-out. He stayed with the program from 2001-04. Prior to joining the B-CC staff in 1999, Raymond Gross was a starting quarterback calling the signals for the Ravenna Chiefs of the Italian Football League. Raymond Gross graduated from Georgia Southern University in 1993 with a degree in Commercial Recreation. He later earned his Master's Degree in Education from Cambridge College in 1999. He has additional training in Conflict Management, Crisis Management and Public Relations. Gross is single, and now resides back in the Daytona Beach area. |
