[edit] Coaching Career
Since 1990, Gilbride has served as an assistant with a number of NFL franchises, working as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Those franchises include the Houston Oilers (1990–1994)[3], Jacksonville Jaguars (1995–1996)[4], Pittsburgh Steelers (1999–2000), Buffalo Bills (2002–2003)[5], and currently is the offensive coordinator with the New York Giants. From 1985 to 1986 he served as an assistant with the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.
In over three decades as a coach, Gilbride's most memorable image may be a 1994 sideline incident while he was offensive coordinator for the Houston Oilers, which resulted in defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan throwing a punch at Gilbride during a nationally televised game.[6] Another memorable event occurred during the 1992-93 NFL season when Gilbride was hospitalized with a rare form of kidney cancer. Injured quarterback Warren Moon, along with wide receivers coach Chris Palmer, stepped in as acting offensive coordinator.[7]
During his time with the Oilers, Gilbride ran a variation of the Run & Shoot offense. The team finished in the top 5 in scoring each year with Gilbride as offensive coordinator.
Gilbride had previously worked on a Tom Coughlin staff before, serving as the first offensive coordinator in team history for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 1995 and 1996.[8]
In 2008, the Oakland Raiders received permission to interview Gilbride for their vacant head coach position.[9]
