Y'all crack me up with all this talk about is Gus Malzahn still the offensive coordinator. It's like duh? Of course he is.
But what shocks me even more is none of you question who the real defensive coordinator is. David Gibbs is obviously the real defensive coordinator of UCF. You either have to be dumb or blind not to realize it.
He is listed as the "co-defensive coordinator." Yeah right. Guy was the DC at Auburn, at Texas Tech, and at Houston. He had NFL stints at Denver, KC, and Houston.
Do y'all really think DC-in-name-only Addison Williams calls the plays, designs the schemes, executes the game plan, etc.? Do y'all think Travis Williams did?
Addison had one year of DC'ing at Tusculum. Now, he is the DC at a Big12 P5. Riggghhhttt...
Travis Williams was ssssoooo competent of a DC that after he bamboozled Arkansas into hiring him, he demanded Sam Pittman hire his former colleague at Auburn, making Marcus Woodson the 'co-coordinator.' Travis is the 'run game' coordinator; Marcus is the 'passing game' coordinator. Do y'all really think Travis Williams did anything other than run the front 7 at UCF?
If you still don't think David Gibbs is the 'real' DC, then explain why the Knights always rank in the Top 25 in pass efficiency defense, why they always are poor tacklers, why they always have less than ideal run fits, etc., regardless of who the DC-in-name-only is. Maybe it is just a coincidence. 😅
That being said, Gibbs and Gus have done a fine job with this team and program the last three years.
(And before you ask, it is about recruiting, insulating, and dealing with media.)
EDIT: I am going to take this one step further and explain it to all of you in detail.
Recruiting -- UCF needs a black defensive coordinator (front man/face of the defense) and black positions coaches to recruit well. This defensive coaching staff is made up of all black guys (and one white guy calling the shots behind the scenes.)
Insulating -- When things went bad defensively last season, y'all blamed Travis Williams. When things go bad this year, you will blame Addison Williams. No one will even know David Gibbs is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Dealing with media--David Gibbs just wants to coach football. He could give a rat's ass about the media. There are so many time constraints to coaching already. He would rather lose money than be burdened.
