Timeline
James Arthur Raye Jr. (born March 26, 1946) is an American football coach and former player who is currently a senior adviser to NFL vice-president Troy Vincent.
(The first black quarterback to win a national title was Minnesota's Sandy Stephens, from Uniontown, Pennsylvania, in 1960.) Raye and College Football Hall of Famers Bubba Smith (from Texas), George Webster (South Carolina) and Gene Washington (Texas) arrived at Michigan State from the segregated South as part of head coach Duffy Daugherty's Underground Railroad.
Raye was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams for the position of cornerback but was quickly traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.
In college, as a quarterback, Raye was the backup for the Michigan State Spartans football team that played in the 1966 Rose Bowl, and he started for the 1966 Spartans in the famous 10–10 tie with Notre Dame, a game often referred to as "The Game of the Century."
He was the South's first black quarterback to win a national title, on the 1966 Michigan State team.
Raye began his coaching career in 1971 at his alma mater, Michigan State, where he stayed for five years (1971–75).
He served a brief stint at Wyoming in 1976 and Texas in 1977 before moving to the NFL ranks in 1977.
He coached in the NFL for a total of 36 years with 10 different teams, serving as offensive coordinator for 13 seasons: 1983–84 with the Los Angeles Rams, 1985–86 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1990 with the New England Patriots, 1998–2000 with the Kansas City Chiefs, 2001 with the Washington Redskins, 2004–05 with the Oakland Raiders (where he was also assistant head coach), and 2009–10 with the San Francisco 49ers.
Following the 2009 49ers season, Raye was praised for his ability to adapt the offense after key players were injured, and he continued as the 49ers' offensive coordinator to start the 2010 season.
This was the first time in seven years that the 49ers had an offensive coordinator return to the team for consecutive seasons.
But Raye was fired after the 49ers lost their first three games of 2010.
His son, Jimmy Raye III, is currently the senior executive advisor to the GM for the Cleveland Browns.
A book about his college career by award-winning sportswriter Tom Shanahan was published in September 2014 by August Publications titled Raye of Light: Jimmy Raye, Duffy Daugherty, the Integration of College Football and the 1965–66 Michigan State Spartans.
Tony Dungy, who considers Raye a mentor, wrote the foreword.
Raye attended the segregated E. E. Smith High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
