I wonder if he is available and still has interest in a gig here as was rumored. I would love that move.
Is Alex Gibbs still a consultant?

Bidwill wouldn't pay him. 
He teaches are particulary vicious and barely legal OL style [which may soon become illegal]. iirc he was run out of Denver under pressure from the NFL
Not sure I want to win at that price

Pretty sure I do remember correctly
Why would the NFL tell him to get out of Denver?

He teaches zone blocking, and cut blocking. Both are legal although some of the cutblocks they use shouldn't be legal and the NFL is taking action on that finally.
Gibbs wasn't run out by the NFL, he wanted to work part time for health and family reasons and Denver needed a fulltime OL coach so they had Gibbs help Dennison and then gave Dennison the job.
There's animosity there, a couple of years ago Shanahan fired Gibbs' son as an assistant and that ticked off Alex. Then last year not long after the infamous George Foster cut block on the Bengal lineman on MNF, Atlanta played Denver and Shanahan complained to the NFL that Atlanta was throwing illegal blocks, one of which injured a Bronco(think it was Lynch). It was sort of like a drug dealer complaining to a cop that he got robbed, nobody had any sympathy. That's why Shanahan came out and showed a video at a press conference of cut blocks thrown by other teams to prove Denver wasn't the only ones doing it.
