goodguyattorney, you’ve never heard of pittsburgs’ defense. the steel curtain “D” most of the AFC spent the nineties and early 2000′s trying to emulate it. trust me the tampa two is derived from Pittsburg’s defense. Tony Dungy only played safety there. Tony Dungy not Monte Kiffin introduced the tampa 2. Monte Kiffin inherited that team and philosophy from Dungy. Kiffin is like 73 and in need of pampers. Bill Callahan is as big a joke hire as Kiffin. this is gonna be great like watching jerry springer while eating shrooms….

Funny, I’ve never hear of the Pittsburgh 4 defense or the Steelers 3 defense by name when copied by half the league. It’s the Tampa 2 because of Monte.

I never get tired of hearing how great every player and coach on the Dallas team is! It’s really unfair that the Cowboys don’t have to spot other NFL teams a couple touchdowns to even things up.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but this Ravens fan agrees… somewhere Dick Lebeau is justifiably laughing at this headline.

“Last memory of Monte Kiffin’s defense was Jamarus Russell ripping it apart and Mike Bush running all over it. It was a beautiful day in Raider Nation in 2008.”

Yeah, I guess it’s understandable you have suppressed the memories of the Super Bowl when your team could barely manage a first down against Kifin’s D.

Does this mean we won’t have the offense vs. defense locker room dynamic that has split the team apart for the last 6 years?

Chuck Noll/Bud Carson started the cover two – Dungy refined it… Monty Kiffin… pffffttt….

Easy Garrett, let’s see what happens when the season starts. This is not 2004 and the NFL offenses have changed a bit since then.

I think you will be the one ripping him a new one this time around.

Is that why his own son fired him? Because he was the best? USC’s defense looked real great….

Considering the Bucs had a historically bad defense last year, how they didn’t pursue Kiffin and Marinelli is disgraceful.

Monte Kiffin is THE best defensive coordinator ever. Look at his record with the Bucs — that defense was amazing no matter how awful the offense was under Dungy or the offensive “genius” Gruden (and believe me it was horrible under Gruden that worthless piece of garbage).

Even when the team was bad the defense was always excellent.

It’s awful that the Bucs didn’t do everything they could to get Kiffin to come back, I guess our mans man coach Schiano wants to prove to everyone that he doesn’t need anyone that didn’t coach for him at that college football power house Reuters.

I sure hope he does a better job than he did for USC. Their defense was a joke. Hard to say USC didn’t have players.

Kiffin may be a great coach but unfortunately for him he still has the same owner as Garrett, which is just a recipe for failure.

I love Dick Lebeau’s resume in the NFL but Kiffin deserves just as much respect. People copied the cover 2 for years because of the work Kiffin did with the Buccaneers.

I don’t care who is coaching, if no one is healthy and there is no depth, it could be more of the same.

You get this team a ball-hawk of a safety and it’s gonna be scary reminiscent of that Champion Bucs defense. The offense on the other hand…

I’ve followed the Bucs very closely over the last 35 years and Rod Marinelli is one helluva D-line coach. And if Monte has any gas left in the tank, the Cowgirls will have a tough D in the coming years.

Garrett must have gone to the Jerry Jones school of media commenting.
