According to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic and sideline reporter for FoxSports, former West Virginia Mountaineers defensive coordinator Tony Gibson will be taking a co-defensive coordinator position with the N.C. State Wolfpack. Gibson will fill the position that Ted Roof filled at NC State. Roof left the team to take the head coaching job at Appalachian State.
Gibson, like all of West Virginia coaches, has a clause in his contract that limits West Virginia’s liability. When Gibson was officially released, it was on the hook for a $900,000 buyout but only if Gibson was unable to find another position.
