It’s been a whirlwind few days since David Gibbs arrived in Orlando to join Gus Malzahn’s coaching staff as UCF’s new co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach.
There are players to meet, names to learn and defensive schemes to finalize, not to mention the time spent on the virtual recruiting trail.
“We’re hitting the ground running,” said Gibbs, 53, who joined the Knights staff Feb. 18 after spending two seasons coaching defensive backs at Missouri.
The longtime defensive coach has spent nearly three decades at the college and professional levels with stops at Kansas, Minnesota, Auburn, Houston, Texas Tech and Missouri as well as with NFL teams such as the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans.
