I would call this a solid resume. He helped the Chiefs to 5th in pass defense, solid.

Professional Bio
7th Year NFL Coach • 3rd with Chiefs
David Gibbs enters his third campaign as the Chiefs defensive backs coach in 2008. He owns six seasons of experience coaching in the AFC West after enjoying a four-year stint with Denver (2001-04). He joined Kansas City after serving as the defensive coordinator/secondary coach at Auburn in 2005.
Under Gibbs’ leadership a year ago, the Chiefs ranked fifth in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 188.9 yards per game. Kansas City permitted 17 TD passes in 2007, a mark that tied for fourth in the NFL and was the club’s lowest total since ‘98. Gibbs was instrumental in the development of second-year safeties Jarrad Page and Bernard Pollard, who both became full-time starters in 2007.
In his first season with the Chiefs, Gibbs led a Chiefs secondary that allowed only 208.4 passing yards per game in 2006. Kansas City also limited opponents to only 45 completions of 20+ yards as the Chiefs relinquished just one 300-yard passer.
Under his direction in 2005, the Auburn defense permitted 15.5 points per game to rank sixth in the NCAA. His squad also led the SEC with 39.0 sacks. The Tigers tied for second in the NCAA by allowing only eight touchdown passes on the season and 199.0 passing yards per game.
Prior to joining Auburn, Gibbs spent four seasons coaching the defensive backfield for the Broncos in his first NFL coaching stop. In his second season overseeing the entire Denver secondary in 2003, the Broncos ranked fourth in the league in total defense, limiting opponents to 277.1 yards per game. Gibbs implemented a pair of first-year starters that season as Denver finished sixth in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 176.8 yards per game.
Gibbs spent 10 years at the collegiate level before entering the NFL ranks, including four seasons as the defensive coordinator/secondary coach at the University of Minnesota. In ‘97 he became the youngest defensive coordinator in NCAA Division I-A when the Gophers hired him to lead their defense. He oversaw a dramatic turnaround of a defensive unit that ranked last in the Big Ten prior to his arrival, but improved to fourth in total defense by ‘99. Minnesota led the Big Ten in pass defense (179.4) and ranked second in pass defense efficiency (98.3) and scoring defense (16.3), each figure ranking eighth in the nation that season.
Gibbs was instrumental in the rapid development of S Tyrone Carter, who was a two-time All-America selection and the recipient of the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back in ‘99. Carter was the Gophers first back-to-back All-America selection since E Bob Stein in ‘67-68. In his first season with the Gophers, Gibbs aided in the development of DE Lamanzer Williams, the school’s first All-America selection since E Doug Kingsriter in ‘71.
Gibbs followed head coach Glen Mason to Minnesota after spending two seasons (’95-96) on his staff at Kansas where he led a defensive backfield that limited opponents to 135.8 passing yards per game in ‘95. While with the Jayhawks he was instrumental in the development of CB Dorian Brew, who earned All-Big Eight honors in ‘98 and DB Tony Blevins, whose 283 career tackles are the second-most by a defensive back in Kansas history. Gibbs began his collegiate coaching career with stints as a graduate assistant at Colorado (’93-94) and Oklahoma (’91-92).
Gibbs was a four-year letterwinner at Colorado, earning academic All-Big Eight honors as a senior as Colorado won a share of the National Championship following a 10-9 win vs. Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. The collegiate defensive back started all 12 games in ‘89 as the Buffaloes won the Big Eight title and finished the season ranked fourth in the polls.
The Mount Airy, North Carolina native was a prep standout at Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama. Gibbs’ father, Alex enters his 21st year as an NFL coach. The elder Gibbs tutored the Chiefs offensive line for two seasons (’93-94) and also coached on the collegiate level for 14 seasons.
