Sterlin Gilbert (born August 11, 1978) is an American football coach and former player who currently is the passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the California Golden Bears. Gilbert played college football at Angelo State University, where was a two-time All-Lone Star Conference selection at quarterback. He served as the offensive coordinator at Eastern Illinois University from 2012 to 2013, Bowling Green State University in 2014, the University of Tulsa in 2015, the University of Texas at Austin in 2016, and the University of South Florida from 2017 to 2018.

Coaching career

[edit]

Texas

[edit]

In 2015, Gilbert was hired by Charlie Strong at the University of Texas at Austin as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach until the end of the 2016 season.^[1]

University of South Florida

[edit]

After Charlie Strong's termination from the University of Texas, Gilbert followed Strong to USF. His overall offensive style received criticism, as he was over reliant on halfback dive plays and did not attempt to open up the field, causing breakdowns against better defenses. In 2018, Gilbert's offense experienced early success with transfer QB Blake Barnett, before his scheme and injuries along the OL resulted in frequent sacks and eventual injury to Barnett, resulting in widespread calls for Gilbert's termination.

McNeese State

[edit]

On December 5, 2018, Sterlin Gilbert was named the head football coach at McNeese State University, consequently avoiding potential termination by USF. In 2019, Gilbert led McNeese State to a 7–5 record.

Syracuse

[edit]

In January 2020, Gilbert was hired by Dino Babers at Syracuse University as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.^[2] He was not retained on staff after the 2021 season.^[3]
