Grinnell College Athletics

Assistant Football Coach (Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line)

Malcolm J. Gibson, who has enjoyed a successful coaching run as assistant football coach at Washington and Lee in Lexington, Va.,joined Grinnell College as the Pioneers’ new offensive coordinator in May of 2025.
 
In just two seasons as the Generals’ Pass Game Coordinator/Running Backs and Wide Receivers Coach and Special Teams Assistant, Gibson has coached two D3football.com All-Region selections, four Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) honorees, a league Rookie of the Year and a rusher with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
 
The Generals also won the Cape Charles Bowl last season, the first-ever postseason win in school history, with a running back selected as game MVP.
 
Prior to Washington and Lee, Gibson served as assistant coach at Salisbury University where he helped the squad to three New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) titles. The team averaged 324.2 yards per game in 2021 and 325.4 in 2022, both third-best at the NCAA Division III level. Salisbury went 19-4 overall and 14-0 in the NJAC during his time coaching the squad.
 
As a player, Gibson was a member of conference championship teams at both Coe College and Salisbury. Coe made it to the second round of the NCAA D-III playoffs in that span and Salisbury advanced to the quarterfinals.
