- Gary Gibbs (born August 13, 1952 in Beaumont, Texas) is currently an assistant coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and an American football player turned coach most notable for coaching the University of Oklahoma Sooners for six years following the resignation of Barry Switzer. Gibbs spent the first half of his adult life at Oklahoma as a player, assistant coach and head coach. He played for the Sooners as a linebacker under Switzer from 1972–1974. He began coaching in 1975 as a graduate assistant under Switzer and was promoted to linebackers coach in 1978. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1981, and held that post through the 1988 season. In 1989, Gibbs was named head coach after Switzer was forced out following NCAA sanctions and a number of highly-publicized off-the-field issues involving the Oklahoma football program. Gibbs stayed for six years, leading the Sooners to a record of 44-23-2 in that time. While he succeeded in his primary task--cleaning up the program's image--he was perceived as a coach who couldn't win big games. He went 2-15-1 against Oklahoma's biggest rivals--Texas, Nebraska and Colorado--and never won more than five games in the Big 8 Conference. Moreover, the Sooners were hobbled by NCAA sanctions. During Gibbs' first two years, the Sooners were barred from bowl games, and were also banned from live television in his first year. More seriously, they were only allowed to give out 18 scholarships rather than 25. He wasn't able to field a team with a full complement of scholarships until 1994. Even so, discontent with his lackluster record in big games led Oklahoma to force his resignation after the season. He was the defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia in 2000 and then at Louisiana State University in 2001. From 2002–2005, he was the linebackers coach for the Dallas Cowboys. Gibbs was the Defensive Coordinator for the New Orleans Saints 2006–2009. Gibbs has a wife, Jeanne, and two children, Whitley and Jordan. Gibbs was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs possibly as defensive coordinator
