David Gibbs’ tenure as the Texas Tech football team’s defensive coordinator never lived up to what all involved hoped it would. After four years in Lubbock, none of his defenses ever finished the season ranked in the top 100 nationally in total defense. But still, the now former Red Raider defensive coordinator has landed a job coordinating a defense at another Power 5 school.
Thursday, Gibbs was hired as defensive coordinator at Missouri despite earlier rumors that he would be returning to Houston where he was DC for two years prior to his time at Texas Tech.
