26 Jul 1998: Offensive line coach Alex Gibbs of the Denver Broncos discusses a play during the Broncos training camp at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado.
Alex Gibbs, perhaps the greatest offensive line coach in the history of the Denver Broncos, has passed away. Gibbs was 80-years old. Gibbs had recently been battling his health after he suffered a stroke.
Gibbs had been a coach in both the NFL as well as college ranks, beginning in 1966, when he was the head coach at Mount Airy (NC). After three years there, he became a defensive backs coach as three-straight gigs: Duke (1969-1970), Kentucky (1971-‘72), and West Virginia (‘73-74).
