RE: New Defensive Coordinator
Saints hire Gary Gibbs as defensive coordinator
By Mike Triplett Staff writer One-time LSU defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs has accepted the job as defensive coordinator on Saints coach Sean Payton’s staff. Gibbs, 53, has never been an NFL coordinator and has only been an assistant coach in the league for four years. He was the Oklahoma Sooners’ head coach from 1989 to ’94, then took six years off before serving as a defensive coordinator at Georgia in 2000 and LSU in 2001. The Tigers won the SEC championship game and the Sugar Bowl that season under second-year head coach Nick Saban. Gibbs then joined the Cowboys’ staff in 2002 under former head coach Dave Campo as linebackers coach. He was retained, along with defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and others, when Bill Parcells became Dallas’ coach in 2003. Gibbs has earned solid reviews coaching a linebacker corps that is considered one of the Cowboys’ strengths. Last month he interviewed for the Texas A&M defensive coordinator job, but he reportedly turned it down. Yeahhhhhhhhh |

What have people heard about this guy? Good choice? Bad choice? I guess the Cowboys' linebackers have played pretty well the last few years (he did turn Dat Nguyen into a stud). But he's coming from a 3-4 defense. Anybody think we'll change to a 3-4? Use Grant and Smith on the end with Brian Young in the middle? I don't think that would work. We don't have nearly the right kind of personnel for that. Whatever, I guess this guy knows what he's doing; we couldn't say that for Venturi.
