Are you kidding? Hearing Lett talk to the media for the first time made me think of one of the kids(Matt) that was in my class in the 4th grade and believe me when I tell you this… Matt sounded a little more intelligent than Leon.
I don’t know which one made me feel better, Don Beebe’s proud look after knocking the ball through the back of the end zone or Leon Lett’s facial expression after realizing he looked like a complete loser after showboating in front of millions of people at the stadium and throughout national television?
Good luck Dallas!

Leon was a big, strong, quick menace on the defensive line. He was a good tackler and caused fumbles, including the one Thurman Thomas coughed up while the Superbowl was still a close game. He was a major contributor to 3 championship teams. But you can just remember him for two boneheaded plays if you don’t know anything about football.

As a young boy Leon was one of the first people whose actions helped usher in the term “dumbass” into my vocabulary.

How about the blocked or missed FG he touched. The announcer was like no Leon. HaHa to funny.

The only time i ever had the final score numbers in a Super Bowl block pool it was that game, so Don Beebe’s hustle and Leon Lett’s showboating will always have a special place in my heart.

That being said, comment earlier is dead-on. He gets remembered for those two bone-headed plays, but the guy was a helluva DT, and this is coming from an Eagles fan.

Knowing the rules and failing to observe them are not the same thing.

I think he will be a good addition to the coaching staff. I like that Dallas is bringing back player from the Super Bowl days to instill some pride, teach them on field techniques, and show the current players a little bit of what Jimmy Johnson was about.

Lett’s “blunder” in the super bowl is so overrated it drives me crazy. So the score would’ve been 59-17 instead of 52-17. Wasn’t exactly a game changing play. And sure, the play against Miami was bad, but guess what? They still went on to win the super bowl again that year. It’s just too bad some people can’t see past those 2 plays, and remember that he was a hell of a player.

The guy made two boneheaded moves 20 years ago, just sucks that they were on the NFL’s two biggest stages (SB and Thanksgiving).

That being said he was a key member on 3 Super Bowl champion teams who I do not recall hearing much of anything negative about off the field. Good luck to him in his new endeavor.

Great hire. Leon played with a fire that this team needs. He was a beast!

How is this guy gonna be effective:

Lett: “okay men, once you get that ball you slow down and start showboating” make sure you hold it nice and loose so the opponent can strip it away with ease.”

I guess it’s who you know not what you know.

Tell me how this isn’t a good thing…other than a blunder, what negatives has Leon brought to the table?

Good luck

His first drill to the team is how to celebrate before you reach the endzone.

I would never guess that this guy would ever coach. His ignorance of the rules on that snowy thanksgiving game cost the cowboys that game.
