Chad Gibbs is the author of “God and Football: Faith and Fanaticism in the SEC.” In this book, Gibbs takes a humorous look at the intersection of religion and football in the south. Gibbs attended game weekends at all 12 schools in the Southeastern Conference in preparation for writing the book.

Gibbs has appeared on numerous sports radio shows since the publication of the book and has spoken to both religious and sports groups around the south over the last year. He is currently working on a book tentatively titled “A Time to Hate” which will be a look at hate, racism, and sectarianism through the lens of great sports rivalries. Gibbs has visited such events as the Lakers vs. Celtics, Duke vs. North Carolina basketball and the Rangers vs. Celtic soccer match in Glasgow, Scotland.

Gibbs is a 2002 graduate of Auburn University. He and his wife currently live in Auburn.
