Well, Gibson's record was 5-14 according to the attached link: in any case, you have to start somewhere.. Keep in mind, it is ONLY year one for him as a coach. Granted the difference between high-school vs college teams, but in 1961, Dean Smith finished his first year as HC at UNC at 8-9. While I'm very reluctant to predict Gibson will wind up even close to Smith's achievements, I'd just say he deserves a chance to get acclimated to the job before judgments be made based on his very first season. Besides, Smith had several years asst coaching experience before coming to UNC. Let's look at where Gibson is in 2026+/- or so to see if there's improvement..

Chris Datres 424 Report post Posted February 17 Oh yeah, of course. Who knows what kind of situation he walked into. Also, MaxPreps isn’t the most updated site at the time so 2-14 may have been a bit off. Hope he can be in it for the long haul and build a strong program.
