In 1997, Gilmore was promoted to Wide Receivers Coach, and served another two years at Wyoming.

Gilmore coached all-time NCAA reception leader Taylor Stubblefield as well as Big Ten all-time career receptions leader John Standeford.

In 2003, Gilmore was hired by Colorado, again as Wide Receivers Coach, and worked alongside Shawn Watson, with whom he would later work with at Nebraska. While at Colorado, Gilmore coached all-Big 12 and future Seattle Seahawks receiver D. J. Hackett to a school record 78 receptions as a senior.

At the conclusion of the 2007 season, Gilmore was retained in his previous duties by new Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini while also being promoted to Assistant Head Coach.
