NC State: Sources tell FootballScoop Dave Doeren has signed defensive coordinator Tony Gibson to a new, three-year contract valued at $4.5 million + over the three seasons. Doeren has consistently credited Gibson’s work for the success of the Wolfpack. (FootballScoop)

After last season, Doeren signed Gibson to a 3-year contract that paid $1.3 million annually, making him the highest paid Defensive Coordinator in the ACC, and the 2nd highest paid Assistant Coach in the conference. Gibson is getting at least a $200k raise on his annual salary.

Gibson is now tied for 17th highest salary by an assistant coach in college football, and the 9th highest paid Defensive Coordinator.

1. Jim Knowles – Ohio State – $1.975 million
2. Glenn Schumann – Georgia – $1.902 million
3. Matt House – LSU – $1.9 million
3. Peter Golding – Ole Miss – $1.9 million
3. Kevin Steele – Alabama – $1.9 million

Once Gibson took over in 2020, he began the journey of turning the Wolfpack into one of the best defenses in college football.

Gibson has turned NC State’s defense into a Top-25 unit on an annual basis. Locking up Gibson, and keeping him in Raleigh, has to be one of Doeren’s top priorities every year. Mission accomplished.

Congrats Coach Gibson!
