Gary Gibbs is the Chiefs’ new defensive coordinator.

Gary Gibbs is just a candidate for these jobs.

Gary Gibbs is the new associate head coach and defensive coordinator of the Bucs.

Gary Gibbs is just a candidate for that job.

Argh! Who the hell is Gary Gibbs and what the hell is going on?

No, despite the way his name sounds, Gibbs is neither an adult or B-film star. He’s the recently fired D.C. of the Saints. For the full scoop on Gibbs, check at this post from Arrowhead Pride.

As for the news, until I hear something more concrete I have no choice but to ignore the rumors. Right now everybody is just too all over the map when it comes to Gibbs news. Sure, Gibbs could end up with the Chiefs, but let’s not all have massive coronaries over this situation…yet, anyway. I am a little worried about hearing he never blitzes and isn’t exactly a defensive line guru, but let’s wait and see what shakes out.

If you have credible updates, feel free to leave them in the comments…

    Never heard of this guy before. hope we dont sign him as DC, bcuz we need an aggrassive defensive scheme, not a scheme that never blitzes. Look where it got us last year.

    Have we heard this story before? “Lots of youth and many injuries contributed to their inability to…”

    Got him fired from the Saints as DC.

    It’s hard to get excited about him with that kind of recent history.

    Adam, I am just recovering from the “herm era”. I can see him as linebacker coach, maybe. DC no way. Looked at his resume’ not very exciting. Defensive rating was 13th in year one with Saints. Downhill from there. Remember this guy had a great offense out there with Brees and company. This NFL circle game can be a little annoying at times. This is going to be a very interesting year to say the least. I just hope it is interesting’ “good” not interesting, “oh crap”!

    not to be a drag on the gibbs bashing but i believe personnel may be more important than schemes AT TIMES THAT IS

    oops as i was saying….the eagles blitz pretty much every play and the Cards still picked them apart in the championship game….and lets not all forget what gunther was able to do with our defense in the 90’s and im pretty sure he didnt forget how to coach. So that would lead me to believe its more about the players playing solid smart football and not just flying all over the place and getting themselves out of position….just my 2 cents

    u forgot that Gunther had to switch from his scheme to the Cover 2 scheme of Herm, and yeah, i guess ur a bit right. It’s about using a scheme that brings the best out of ur players.
