After graduating from Colorado, Gibbs served as a graduate assistant at the University of Oklahoma and at Colorado. In 1995, he became the secondary coach at the University of Kansas under head coach Glen Mason. When Mason was appointed head coach at the University of Minnesota in 1997, Gibbs was hired as the Golden Gophers' defensive coordinator, the youngest coordiator in Division I-A at that time. Gibbs improved a Minnesota defense that had ranked last in the Big Ten in 1996 to one that was ranked eighth in the nation in pass and scoring defense by 1999.

From 2001 through 2004, Gibbs coached defense for the Denver Broncos, which by 2003 was rated the fourth strongest defense in the NFL. In 2005, he returned to Auburn to be defensive coordinator for Auburn University, where his defense ranked sixth in the NCAA in scoring defense and led the SEC in sacks. Gibbs became defensive backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs] in 2006, a position he currently holds.

During his tenure with the Broncos, Gibbs coached both the safeties (2001) and defensive backs (2002-04). He helped lead the team to a number four ranking in total defense in 2003, allowing only 277.1 yards per game. With a pair of first-year starters at cornerback that season, Denver ranked sixth in the NFL against the pass.

In 1997, Gibbs became the youngest defensive coordinator in Division I-A when he was hired by the University of Minnesota. During his four seasons with the Golden Gophers, he directed a dramatic defensive turnround as the unit ranked last in the Big Ten in every major statistical category prior to his arrival. In 1999, Minnesota finished fourth in the conference and 22nd in the nation in total defense, allowing just 319.9 yards per game which was the best performance by the team since 1985. The Golden Gophers also led the Big Ten in pass defense and ranked eighth nationally in pass defense efficiency and scoring defense.

While at Minnesota, Gibbs coached Tyrone Carter who was a two-time All-America selection and the 1999 winner of the Jim Thorpe Award which is presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. During his tenure, Gibbs’ defense produced an All-American in three consecutive seasons for the first time at Minnesota since 1961-63.

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.
