Jacksonville Sharks

Coach Jason Gibson enters his 23rd year of coaching with an impressive track record of success and leadership at every level of the game. His career is highlighted by four league championships, nine championship game appearances, and an incredible streak of 21 playoff appearances in 22 seasons. In 2023, Gibson guided the Jacksonville Sharks to a 10–6 record, earning a playoff berth while finishing in the top five in both offense and defense in the Indoor Football League (IFL). His ability to build disciplined, high-performing teams has earned him three Coach of the Year awards, as well as recognition as the NFL High School Coach of the Year. Before his coaching career, Gibson enjoyed a standout playing career with professional stints in the CFL, GFL Europe, and AFL. A proud graduate of Fairmont State College in West Virginia, he still holds the school’s single-season record for receiving touchdowns in a season. Coach Gibson resides in Jacksonville with his wife Sarah, and their three children — Gunnar, Jett, and Steele. His dedication to the game, his players, and the community continues to make a lasting impact both on and off the field.
