Texas Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs is rumored to be a candidate to replace Phil Bennett in the same position on new ASU coach Herm Edwards' staff.

Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports mentioned Gibbs as a candidate on Twitter Wednesday. Edwards is out of town recruiting and not available for comment.

Gibbs is in his third season at Texas Tech, which beat ASU 52-45 on Sept. 16. The teams also played in 2016, with ASU winning 68-55.

While those scores don't shout defensive prowess, Gibbs has moved the needle somewhat with the Red Raiders, who are No.
