Bobby played for NAU from 1968-69.

Graduate Assistant Coach in 1970

     Bob was born to Robert A. and Patricia Grey in Yosemite National Park on May 25, 1948, and was raised in Orange County, California, where his love for athletics grew. After graduating from Garden Grove High School in 1966, he attended Las Cruces Junior College in New Mexico. He then received a full-ride scholarship to attend and play football at Northern Arizona University.

     He was hired as a social studies teacher and coach at Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Arizona in 1977. Coach Grey led successful football, golf, track and field, and softball teams. He accepted an administrative role as the Athletic Director, and he eventually became an associate principal at the school. He was named principal at Desert Edge High School, culminating 40 years in education.

     Bob thoroughly loved his time on the golf course, especially with his son, Brett, and he was very involved with Desert Springs Community Church. He was a member of the “Way Back Jacks” group of former NAU football players, and one of his fondest memories was his trip to Canton, Ohio, to see Agua Fria High School student-athlete Randall McDaniel get inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
