Gibson was one of eleven All-American football players to appear in the 1930 film Maybe It's Love.[4]

Gibson later coached the line at Carleton College and signed a contract to play with the Green Bay Packers but did not play.[5] Instead, he chose to earn his Ph.D. in geology from the University of Minnesota and became a geology professor at Carleton College, where he also coached the football team from 1934 to 1938. In 1936, Carleton went 6–1 with the only loss coming to Iowa. His coaching record at Carleton was 21–13–2.[1]
