"Coach Gilbride has a long lineage and familiarity with coach DeLeone and the intricacies of our offense. This, coupled with his intensity for recruiting and coaching, made Kevin the best candidate for the job." Head Coach Al Golden

Gilbride in Action

Kevin Gilbride, who was a two-sport Division I-A athlete in college and has three seasons of Division I coaching experience, is in his first year as wide receivers coach at Temple University. He arrived in Owl Country after coaching the slot receivers/tight ends coach at Georgetown in 2006.

In addition to directing the slot receivers and tight ends at Georgetown in 2006, he also headed the kickoff coverage unit and assisted on punt, kickoff return and punt block. He recruited Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida and Delaware for the Hoyas.

Prior to Georgetown, Gilbride was an offensive graduate assistant coach at Syracuse for two seasons (2004-05), working heavily with the tight ends in 2005. The Orange captured a share of the Big East title in 2004 and earned a berth in the Champs Sports Bowl. He first joined the SU staff as a graduate assistant for video in 2003 before then head coach Paul Pasqualoni moved him into a coaching role.

With the Orange, Gilbride also worked under current Temple offensive coordinator George DeLeone, who was SU's associate head coach from 1998 to 2004. With DeLeone directing the offensive line and Backus assisting the offense in 2004, three players earned first team All-Big East honors, with center Matt Tarullo, offensive tackle Adam Terry and running back Walter Reyes capturing accolades.

Born December 14, 1979, Gilbride graduated from the University of Hawaii in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in speech communications. He was a backup quarterback and played on special teams for the Warriors in 2000 after sitting out the 1999 season following his transfer from Brigham Young. He also earned four letters on the diamond at UH, playing outfield, first base and designated hitter. As a senior, he batted .308, had a .413 on base percentage and did not commit an error.

The native of Jacksonville, Fla., Gilbride is the son of Kevin Gilbride, the current New York Giants offensive coordinator who was also head coach of the San Diego Chargers.
