Missouri football hires former Chiefs assistant David Gibbs, promotes Garrick McGee

Barry Odom has filled two of his coaching vacancies, but which ones remain uncertain.

Missouri announced on Thursday that longtime assistant coach David Gibbs will join in the Tigers’ football staff, but his role has yet to be announced along with his contract. Gibbs was most recently Kliff Kingsbury’s defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Texas Tech from 2015-18. He also coached defensive backs for the Chiefs from 2006-08.

The Tigers also promoted offensive analyst Garrick McGee to full-time assistant coach, with his role also to be determined.

Odom currently has multiple openings on his staff, including two defensive analyst positions, a tight ends coach and a linebackers coach after his brother Brian, left to coach at Oklahoma on Monday.
