“Husker receivers have posted record-setting numbers under Gilmore's direction, helping the NU passing game rank among the nation's top 15 in passing and total offense in both 2007 and 2008. Overall, Gilmore has coached three of the top six all-time receptions leaders in Nebraska history.”

“Gilmore is considered a rising star in the profession. In 2007, he was selected to participate in the Expert Coaches Academy in Miami, and his receivers have seen success at all of his coaching stops.”

“Gilmore came to Nebraska after spending two seasons on the coaching staff at the University of Colorado, where he also served as receivers coach and worked on the same staff as NU offensive coordinator Shawn Watson. Gilmore guided D.J. Hackett and Derek McCoy, who combined for 141 receptions, 1,896 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2003. Hackett set the school record with 78 receptions as a senior and was a first-team All-Big 12 selection before being taken in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. In 2004, Gilmore helped five Colorado wideouts catch 20 or more passes.”

“Gilmore spent two years as the wide receivers coach for Joe Tiller at Purdue. Gilmore coached the top receiving tandem in the Big Ten in 2002, when Taylor Stubblefield and John Standeford combined for 152 receptions and 2,096 yards. Stubblefield became the NCAA career leader with 316 receptions after catching at least one pass in all 47 collegiate games. He was a Biletnikoff Award finalist and consensus All-American in 2004. Standeford was the all-time Big Ten leader with 266 receptions and 3,788 yards, and was a semifinalist for the 2003 Biletnikoff Award, while also earning two first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America certificates.”
