Chiefs fan here with a question...the David Gibbs Story

[Alphaman]

I come in peace, if you recognize me you know I don't talk trash, just straightforward football discussion.

It appears the Chiefs have hired David Gibbs as their DB coach. He was most recently the DC for Auburn but was a coach on your staff prior to that. Can you provide any insight into him?

[Bronx33]

Sir can you walk through the metal detector again....;D

When we had him our DB's got burned a lot and Int's were low.

[ChampBailey24]

he speaks the truth

[Rascal]

Besides our DB's getting victimized like crazy, him giving up our signals to opposing teams, and creating no INT's whatsoever he is a great addition.

[Old Dude]

IOW, he was not real popular here.

[Needa Pass Rush]

How badly could he affect the Chiefs defense. There is only one direction it can go! ;) You have to like that his defense was pretty lame in Auburn. :thumbs:

Gibbs leaving Auburn for NFL job with Chiefs
Tuberville will be hiring third defensive coordinator since 2001
Thursday, February 02, 2006
By EVAN WOODBERY
Sports Reporter
AUBURN -- Auburn defensive coordinator David Gibbs is returning to the NFL, forcing head coach Tommy Tuberville to search for a new coordinator for the fifth year in a row.

Gibbs will join the Kansas City Chiefs as the team's secondary coach, the Kansas City Star reported in today's editions.

Gibbs' departure comes exactly one year after he was hired to replace Gene Chizik as defensive coordinator at Auburn and exactly one month since his unit allowed 548 yards to Wisconsin in a disastrous Capitol One Bowl loss.

Neither Tuberville nor Gibbs confirmed the departure in meetings with reporters on Wednesday, but they made it clear his time left at Auburn was short.

"Obviously, I don't want to hurt Auburn," Gibbs said Wednesday afternoon. "If I am going to leave, it's got to happen quick so they can get somebody in here and get ready for spring football. If it happens, it's going to happen quick, one way or another."

At Kansas City, Gibbs will join the staff of newly hired head coach Herm Edwards, who left the New York Jets last month after a five-year tenure.

Gibbs coached in the NFL with the Denver Broncos for four years before taking the job at Auburn.

His arrival at Auburn was billed as a homecoming, since he grew up in town and attended Auburn High School. But despite Auburn's 9-3 record in 2005, the defense had several high-profile stumbles in big games.

When Gibbs declined to talk to the media after the Capital One Bowl, he was roundly scolded in newspapers, message boards and talk radio.

Tuberville said he visited with Gibbs last week to discuss his future.

"He doesn't know whether college or pro is what he wants to do," Tuberville said. "But I told him we're supportive of whatever he wants to do."

Although rumors had swirled about Gibbs' status since the bowl game, Auburn managed to keep a damper on the information until Wednesday.

Last year, Tuberville was miffed when Chizik left for Texas before signing day. This year, with players already signed, there's no chance that Gibbs' departure will have an impact on recruiting.

Tuberville has plenty of experience hunting for coordinators. Starting after the 2001 season, Auburn has had a new offensive or defensive coordinator each year.

With spring football only four weeks away, time will be crucial and Tuberville will be expected to make a quick hire.

One strong candidate could be Chuck Pagano, who worked with Tuberville at Miami and has held NFL jobs with the Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders. Pagano has been searching for a job since Raiders coach Norv Turner was fired last month.

Gibbs earned $260,000 a year at Auburn, more than his predecessor but less than offensive coordinator Al Borges. Tuberville would be able to bump up the salary for the right candidate.

"I love coaching in college," Gibbs said. "I love Auburn. If you all (reporters) got an opportunity to look around and people start throwing a whole bunch of money at you, you're probably going to listen."

[Paladin]

You will love the 6,753 posts on the Planet from fans who will want to fire him about three weeks into the season. It will be a wonderful time for all. Especially, I think for the WRs on other teams - not just your loving Broncos, you understand. I am so happy for the mullets. I think they have the makings of an award-winning coaching staff. You know. The Doofus Award?

[Rascal]

You guys might want to keep him caged up during the Falcons game.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

When we had him our DB's got burned a lot and Int's were low.

Really? In two of his seasons here you were ranked 6th in passing defense.

Somehow I think alot of you are homering out of control here.

[Paladin]

What can we say? It's a Broncos' Board, you know what I mean?

[Paladin]

PS. I liked it alot when you were banned. What can we do to help you achieve that same level of participation again?

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

But to think he's going to repair that piece of **** you call a "defense" isn't homerism?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

He's the DBs coach. I'm not expecting him to be promoted to defensive coordinator during the season.

Hopefully he can help some of our DBs. Anything is better than Guinta.

Overall I think Herm has done a nice job of assembling his coaching staff. The only hire I don't agree with is Gunther.

He got fired in the middle of the season. One guy said he might have given defensive signals away to the Falcons and that was the reason for his dismissal, but it doesn´t look good on your resume when you get fired in the middle of the season ....

[Jens1893]

And for all the CU guys on the site, Jon Embree was named TE Coach.

He worked with Daniel Graham at CU and Marcedes Lewis at UCLA and was a candidate for the CU HC position.

Shanahan is always looking for someone to blame.

I just find it hard to criticize a DB coach when his secondary was ranked 18th, 6th and 6th.

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Relating to KC, your secondary could be ranked 32nd, 20th and 20th in the next 3 years.

[bendog]

Alpahman, Gibbs gave our gameplan to Atlanta, wheh his daddy was with the buzzards, so he's sort of unpopular here. I can think of no excuse for that action. However, it was clear he and Coyer (the DC) didn't like each other's schemes. Honestly, after the Pitts debacle, I don't know that I like our defensive schemes either.

Can Gibbs coach dbs? I dunno.

We couldn't get an INT to save our life back there when he was here...Champ Bailey gets here....7 weeks later he was fired in the middle on the season after Vick torched us at home for insibordination...and the INT's went up after he left. He had arguably the best cover corner in the game and was using him the wrong way. I don't think the guy can find his ass with either hand in a defense.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Relating to KC, your secondary could be ranked 32nd, 20th and 20th in the next 3 years.

20th would be great.

[DBroncos4life]

He is the guy that would lock our best DB against the 3rd WR on a team. Who was on Price that game? It wasn't Bailey.

[BroncoBen]

The thing I remember most about David Gibbs as the Broncos Secondary coach was that when he joined the Broncos. He had the most input in the drafting of Willie Middlebrooks.

With Gibbs insite, the Broncos drafted Middlebrooks with their #1 pick in the 2001 Draft.

He had coached him at university of Minnesota.

I believe Middlebrooks is out of football right now.

[Man-Goblin]

He is the guy that would lock our best DB against the 3rd WR on a team. Who was on Price that game? It wasn't Bailey.

If I remember correctly, he was instructed to have Bailey cover Peerless the whole game, but somehow Kelly Herndon was on him for two long pass plays.

I beleve Gibbs was axed the next week, as should anyone who allows his unit to get lit up by Mike Vick through the AIR.

[12th man]

question. Does anyone think that we could kick the crap out of the Cheifs next year at arrowhead even if the game is in December? I do. Especially with herman edwards as the hc and Geibbs as the db coach.

[watermock]

That puke sold us Middlebrooks and sold defensive signals to his dad.

Coyer put him on the short bus and he was gone...took a while to find out most of the story...he was also insubordinate to Coyer. He's a dumbass that will have a long miserable career under Peterson...talk about putting fingers in a slamming window...couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

He has one thing going for him...expectations peak at a wild card birth.

Brian Grese is inconsistant. He has good games then very horrible games. You can't win with a QB like him. Greg Robinson, don't make me laugh. He was so sucessful, he got fired by Dick Vermeil. Ray Rhodes did do a good job in Seattle though, but he only left us because he felt like he coulnt coach anymore.

Rhodes built that defense. I don't care what you guys say.

[Alphaman]

Hey guys I'm not disputing your claims, you know your team better than I do, but doesn't the defensive coordinator dictate the type of coverage the CBs play and who covers who?

I find it hard to believe a coach would give the game plan to an opposing team. Was there ever any proof or published reports of that? Or was it just fan based innuendo?

[Master___Pain]

Rhodes built that defense. I don't care what you guys say.

Ha! ROFL!

Wow, just wow. You are so freaking dense.

You don't want to use Griese some more to bolster your point too?

Not to be disrespectful, but

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just don't let him give draft advice.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And don't let him on the sidelines when you play the Falcons (his dad's team).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

And don't expect many interceptions.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No really - he's great. You guys will be really happy with him.

[Master___Pain]

On the other hand, the Chiefs did get a good TE coach in John Embree. Problem is, the TE are not really the ones that need coaching up.

[broncosteven]

I can't wait to watch the KFC D bouncing off defenders once again like they have a force field around them. *Poof* down goes Wesely Tiki in for a TD, *Poof* down goes the Red Kinght Tiki in for another TD BWAHAHAHA

Hey Boob you guys don't face the Gints again this year do you?

Seriously, I can't think of a single person I'd want less as my DB coach. Of course, it didn't end well here - but that's not it. I couldn't stand the guy from the beginning. I always thought he got the job only because of his dad. It started off bad with the completely ridiculous Willie Middlebrooks pick, and it got worse from there.

Look at the bright side, though - Chiefs fans won't be able to make fun of Champ Bailey's head anymore - not with this melon roaming their sidelines:

When talking about the DEFENSIVE BACKS coach one would THINK the PASS DEFENSE would be the best indicator of how good a coach he is.

Are you suggesting that Gibbs is a DOWNGRADE from Peter "32" Guinta?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

We were top 10 in run D. Lack of push from the defensive tackles and poor coverage was our primary letdown.

Bob... nothing in KC can be considered a down grade, in theory, regarding the defense. But as long as Goonther is the DC is anything really going to change?

[Master___Pain]

And thinking the Gints game was a flag football game has to be considered a let down.

I don't know, and that is why I am pissed that he was retained.

Huh, no "cool" avatar with Goonther for you bob? You seemed to have cherished those like your Darth Maul dolls.

All I can say is with gibbs as your db coach, be prepared to have a lot less interceptions, adn Rod Smith having even better career days on the cheifs than he ever has. and if we get TO, lights out.

[ro_50]

Here is what I, a lifelong Auburn Tigers fan, thinks of David Gibbs, I put this in my Auburn Tigers weblog and to start off, I SAY GOOD RIDDANCE TO GIBBS:

http://bama.dev.advance.net/images/spacer.gif
According to the newspaper reports, Auburn defensive coordinator David Gibbs is on the move - again. This time, its to Kansas City, where he will reportedly take over as the team's secondary coach.

Gibbs came to Auburn last year after a four-year stint as the Denver Broncos' secondary coach - he was fired midway through the 2004 season by Broncos coach Mike Shanahan. Gibbs has been linked to numerous jobs in the past couple of weeks, which includes a position on the Houston Texans (their new coach Gary Kubiak was previously a longtime offensive coordinator of the Broncos and he got to know Gibbs well).

I've followed Gibbs' career for a long time since I'm a lifelong Bronco fan. He was let go in 2004 by Shanahan after he got into a reported dispute with Broncos defensive coordinator Larry Coyer over play calling. Gibbs' father is Alex Gibbs, the well-known offensive line guru that has coached with the Broncos during their Super Bowl title runs of the late 90's and who now works as a consultant with the Atlanta Falcons.

If this sounds familiar with Gibbs looking at NFL jobs, it's not anything new w/ him. Before coaching in Denver, Gibbs was in the Big-10 as member of the Minnesota Golden Gophers staff.

I was honestly never a big fan of Gibbs while he was the coach on the Broncos staff. During his tenure there, Gibbs' secondaries were not known for creating turnovers and noted for being passive and playing with a bend but don't break philosophy.

Its perhaps not a coincidence that Denver's secondary this year played better, created more turnovers and helped the team win more games than under Gibbs.

The Auburn fans saw a glimpse of Gibbs' defense this year and while there were some highlights - like the Bama game - there were many breakdownws, especially late in the season.

Now, while I would not criticize a defense in its first year of learning under a new DC, its troublesome to see the defense break down late in the year.

You would expect those problems earlier in the season, when the team is acclimating to the new terminology of the defensive coordinator.

But these breakdowns came during middle to the latter part of the season -against LSU late in that game, Georgia, Kentucky in the second half and the bowl game against Wisconsin came at the tale end of the season.

And to top it off, Gibbs slid through the backdoor to avoid the media after his defense was humilated by Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl.

While his players stood up like men after the game and answered the reporters' questions, where was their defensive coordinator? In college, letting kids who play and bust their butts for you take the brunt of the media's questions like that is unexcusable.

In fact, the criticism he recieved was justified. And to boot, in the Capitol One Bowl game, how come Auburn's star CB, David Irons, only covered Wisconsin's star WR, Brandon Williams, on only a number of plays. While Williams routinely got open against the other cornerbacks, Irons only allowed Williams to catch one ball while he was covering him. And Irons has double-digit tackle numbers in that game and that was one of his best games of the season.

Isn't it common sense to put your star CB on the other team's best WR, especially when that WR is shredding the secondary. But it didnt happen. And to boot, there were occassions during the 2004 season where Broncos CB Champ Bailey, perhaps the best cover corner in the NFL, didnt cover the other team's best WR during games when Gibbs was the secondary coach.

All of this makes it easy to see, for me at least, why Auburn would be better off going with a new defensive coordinator.

[Jetmeck]

When we had him our DB's got burned a lot and Int's were low.


As opposed to last year where our DB's just got burnt often ? Only real difference last year was Bailey and a few of the others decided to catch the ball once in a while. Our pass coverage blew chunks !

[ro_50]

If you listened to Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville yesterday during his press conference, he didnt seem all that concerned that Gibbs was going back to the NFL.

During the bowl game, Tuberville looked at Gibbs with an evil eye that must have been an "what I was thinking of hiring you" look.

[DBroncos4life]

I can't wait to see Burntee on Smith and Surtian on Adams.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

All I can say is with gibbs as your db coach, be prepared to have a lot less interceptions, adn Rod Smith having even better career days on the cheifs than he ever has. and if we get TO, lights out.

Im sure the ballhawks we already have will forget how to catch. :oyvey:

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I can't wait to see Burntee on Smith and Surtian on Adams.

Bartee is a safety. And you're a dumbass.

[ro_50]

Its typical Gibbs to put his best cover corner on the team's third or second best WR.

If you dont believe me Chiefs fan, then I will be more than happy to get you a copy of the Capital One Bowl game between Auburn and Wisconsin.

[DBroncos4life]

Bartee is a safety. And you're a dumbass.
BFD, he put a nickleback on the number one WR while Bailey was on the two or three guy.

[bendog]

It would appear that goother has lost it bringing this guy in. There have to be better candidates out there.

That happend in his last Bronco game vs the falcons also, he had Champ matched up on the #2 guy & left the #1 on Walls or Herndon & he got burned.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

BFD, he put a nickleback on the number one WR while Bailey was on the two or three guy.

Bartee is a BACKUP safety.

And you're still a dumbass.

[Kaylore]

Gibbs was awful. We were ranked higher in statistics of pass defense but anyone that watched our team remembers how our backfield was never in possition to make interceptions and the few that came were dropped. He was also insubordinate often disobeying Coyers calls and replacing them with his own. He was so bad that Shanahan fired him mid season.

After he was terminated, our interceptions doubled for the remainder of the season. Look at our interceptions this year. I'm also convinced that he was one of the reasons we were drafting garbage defensive backs. Middlebrooks was one of "his guys".

Low turnovers, disobedience and poor drafting. That the chiefs have hired him brings joy to my heart. :spit:

[Jetmeck]

Bartee is a safety. And you're a dumbass.


Anybody that can't follow your clueless train of thought is a dumbass in your world, but just keep talking. Maybe you'll put your foot in your mouth again, dip****. Nobody missed you !

[DBroncos4life]

Bartee is a BACKUP safety.

And you're still a dumbass.
Oh bob maybe I should have said Washington or Sapp, but I know Bartee has the goods to be something. Why else would he have been picked in the second round. Keep the faith bob, Gibbs can save this guy.

[ozomulsion]

That about sums it up. Being the 6th rated D doesn't mean **** if you don't get interceptions. We aren't hating on Gibbs at all Bob. Just giving you the facts. We are glad you have him and if you Chief fans are content, well' that's even better.^5

Bob's hilarious. He's already convinced himself that not only is Gibbs a great pickup, but he's starting to talk himself into liking Germ. I predict by the time the season starts, Bob will declare Herm the next Bill Walsh.

Gibbs' departure comes exactly one year after he was hired to replace Gene Chizik as defensive coordinator at Auburn and exactly one month since his unit allowed 548 yards to Wisconsin in a disastrous Capitol One Bowl loss.

With the hire of David Gibbs it appears the Chiefs are trying to maintain some continuity on the defensive side of the ball.

[ColtSteel25]

The question is who were the CB's during his tenure at Denver?

Willie Middlebrooks, Lenny Walls, Kelly Herndon, Champ Bailey for half a season, Deltha O'Neal to name a few.

[broncosteven]

I thought at the time the only reason Gibbs had his job was because his Daddy was the O-line coach. I was surprised he stuck around so long after he left.

Just be lucky there is no #1 corner in KFC that he can move to cover the #2 or #3 WR! I am sure Gibbs will work wonders with the Red Knight.

I love typing the words "The RED Knight"! this brings me much joy!

Chiefs Announce Gibbs Hiring, New Advertising Program
by Elizabeth Merrill, Kansas City Star

AUBURN -- Auburn defensive coordinator David Gibbs is returning to the NFL, taking the job as secondary coach with the Kansas City Chiefs. Gibbs will join the staff of newly hired head coach Herm Edwards, who left the New York Jets last month after a five-year tenure.

Gibbs coached in the NFL with the Denver Broncos for four years before taking the job at Auburn.

With the announcement, Chiefs President Carl Peterson also announced a new advertising program the team would be doing. “We see David’s abundant forehead as prime advertising real estate.” Peterson said. “Our commitment is to do everything possible to make attending Kansas City Chiefs games affordable for our loyal fans. Advertising revenue from David’s forehead gives us the opportunity to pass some of our operating expenses on to corporate America.”

With the announcement, the Chiefs released images of some of its first program sponsors (see image below). Companies interested in renting space on David’s forehead should call the Lance Brown in the Chiefs Advertising office at 816.920.9300.

I'll bet anyone right now the Chiefs finish higher in pass defense than the Broncos next year.

That stat is stupid. If a team gets up in every game, their pass defense suffers, because every team has to throw to catch up. I hope our pass defense is worse than yours, because it likely means we controlled the clock and played ahead for much of the season.

Gibbs was shown the door mid-season, with predjudice.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

What about the fourteen games we won, Bob? You're smart enough to know that you can't pick one game for something like that, right?

I'm having doubts about my intelligence. I've been told so many times that I'm a complete retard.

I've never thought you were a retard. The fact that you're relatively smart is your only redeeming quality. You're just a jackass.

That was a total compliment, by the way.

They can have him. Gibbs basically ruined the career of a talented guy like Middlebrooks, and our defense produced nothing under him, despite talent.

David Gibbs is the product of nepotism within the insular football coaching fraternity. Just like in other industries of that nature, your name opens doors for you. Sometimes it doesn't matter. Guys like Jim Mora and Wade Phillips would have been successful no matter their fathers were. Guys like David Gibbs and David Shula are a different story. We'll see which category Kyle Shanahan falls into soon enough.
