From the athletic
Tony Gibson, NC State, defensive coordinator
Gibson knows all about life as an Air Raid defensive coordinator from his days working for current Houston coach Dana Holgorsen. The 51-year-old Gibson is really good and could be in line for a Group of 5 head coaching job this winter. NC State is No. 9 in third-down defense, No. 5 in interceptions and No. 40 in the nation in yards per play allowed this season. NC State was No. 22 last year and No. 16 in 2021. Last year, the Wolfpack D ranked first in the ACC in scoring defense, third in total defense, third in rushing defense, first in defensive passing efficiency and first in interceptions. He’s paid very well at NC State, making $1.3 million a year, but he’s proven to be one of the best in the business.
