Former Oklahoma head coach and respected defensive mind, Gary Gibbs, is reportedly joining Mike Gundy’s coaching staff as either a defensive consultant or analyst, GoPokes.com reported Monday.
Gibbs made a visit to OSU’s fall camp last week and did so again Monday. OSU hasn’t announced any official hiring as of yet.
Gibbs started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma in 1975 before being elevated to linebackers coach and, later, to defensive coordinator from 1981-1988. He was then tabbed as Barry Switzer’s successor in 1989, and served as OU’s head coach until 1994 before resigning after a not-so-great 44-21-2 run with the Sooners that included a combined 2-14-1 record against Nebraska, Colorado and Texas during that span.
