We’ve missed you in Tampa, Monte. Do you still remember how to defend the pass? Because we can’t seem to figure it out.”

All coaches know the Monte Kiffin method for stopping the pass. Sack the QB before he throws the ball. Unfortunately we (the Bucs) don’t have Simeon Rice anymore….

Gruden to Oakland, Mangini as DC and Monte as a assistant, Callahan O-line, Trestman OC….. and let the championships role in

He saw me give him a hat tip (Bucs visor) one nite at Salt Rock Grill and invited himself to my table. We then got into some heavy football talk where he was drawing plays on a napkin after getting a pen from the server. This was an absolute pleasure for me and my family. Have another Miller Lite my friend, we miss you in Tampa and on Redington Beach. Go Bucs!

Step 2: Act bewildered that the NFL doesn’t want a 72 y/o coach

Step 3: Watch son coach one more underperforming season and wonder why you ever fell on the sword for someone so overrated.

Spanos just needs to get rid of AJ and Norv, keep Rivers, and draft a reliable/workhorse RB.

The 2002 bucs. So good they named a defense after them. The Tampa 2 by monte kiffen. You are a god to the bucs organization.

Hope he will be a consultant to the bucs defense. He had the #1 pass D then and the bucs need help with the pass D.

Kidding coaching the Skins D may make them even worse, if that’s possible.

Monte’s star has certainly shone brighter.

Whoever gets him can expect a top 10 Defense right away. He prob realized finally what everyone else realized about lane, he’s a joke! I would get a DNA test while at it.

Monte Kiffin is a true legend. Sadly his son has really hurt the Kiffin name.

Come back to Nebraska Monte, I’m sure Bo would love to have you around.

Sorry son, I want to finish as a winner.

That USC defense should have been a lot better than it was.
At 72, don’t you want to just retire and enjoy life?
