He spent 13 combined seasons (1984-1987 and<br />
1995-2003) mentoring the offensive line with<br />
the Broncos, where he established several<br />
franchise records. He played an essential role<br />
with the Broncos during their back-to-back<br />
Super Bowl wins in the late 90s. The offensive<br />
line set numerous franchise records during his<br />
second tenure with Denver, including most<br />
total yards (6,554 in 2000), most first downs (383<br />
in 2000), most rushing yards (2,468 in 1998) and<br />
most rushing touchdowns (32 in 1998).<br />
From 1995-2000, Gibbs’ offensive lines did not<br />
allow more than 35 sacks in a season. And<br />
during that span center Tom Nalen went to<br />
four consecutive Pro Bowls; and in 1998, three<br />
Broncos offensive linemen were nominated<br />
to the Pro Bowl for their role in winning their<br />
second consecutive Pro Bowl and blocking for<br />
NFL MVP Terrell Davis, who rushed for over<br />
2,000 yards.<br />
His NFL career began with the Denver Broncos<br />
in 1984 and he helped the team make two<br />
straight Super Bowl appearances in 1986 and<br />
1987. He continued on to coach in Kansas City,<br />
where he helped the Chiefs drop their sack<br />
total substantially from 48 in 1992 to 19 in 1994.<br />
During his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts<br />
(1992) he experienced similar success and also<br />
helped the San Diego Chargers (1990-1991) to<br />
the second-best rush offense in the league in<br />
1991. With the Los Angeles Raiders (1988-1989)<br />
he coached guard Steve Wisniewski, who<br />
would earn eight trips to the Pro Bowl in his<br />
career.<br />
Prior to his NFL experience, Gibbs spent 15<br />
seasons as a college coach. He began in 1969<br />
with Duke University as the defensive backs<br />
coach. He continued on to coach defensive<br />
backs at the University of Kentucky (1971-1972)<br />
and West Virginia University (1973-1974). He<br />
began coaching offensive lines at Ohio State<br />
(1975-1978), where he also served as offensive<br />
coordinator, and on to Auburn (1979-1981) and<br />
Georgia (1982-1983), before starting his NFL<br />
career.<br />
Gibbs spent his playing days at Davidson<br />
College as a running back and defensive back.<br />
He earned his master’s degree from North<br />
Carolina in European history. He continued on<br />
to earn his E.D.D. from Auburn University.<br />
Born in Morgantown, North Carolina, Gibbs has<br />
a daughter and four sons. His wife’s name is<br />
Trina.<br />
