This does nothing to scare me. Their personnel and his scheme aren't a match. Plus his son damn near had to fire him at USC last season. Plus he has to take his afternoon naps.

College is different. Didn't Kiffin run mostly a 4-3/Tampa 2 D? I wonder if he'll bring the 4-3 to Dallas. A bit crazy given that they have a guy like Ware. Although after this injury-ridden year, I wonder if he'll be the same player.

Yeah, but JJ still refers to him as a "youngster." Emeror Palpatin has had sufficient "work" done such that we don't really know his age.

Hooray for JJ!

Wonder if this means Horton got the Cards job? Damn solid coach

Too nice. I like a coach with a mean streak. (Gibbs and Vermeil the exceptions. ). Lol

In all fairness USC didnt fair much better without him. But the naps are going to be a huge problem when camp starts.

Its such a strange hire, just makes me believe Jerry doesnt think Garrett is the guy. Being that Kiffen is so old, if Garrett has one more year and doesnt get it done, then a new regime makes it easier to get rid of Kiffen...or Jerry didnt want to get a guy who wouldnt be a threat to Garrett's job? Dunno, just doesnt make sense to get a guy this old who is going move all the way back to a 4-3 and for just a short time there.

It's that Arkansas bond

I read and heard the same thing today about how the Cowboys switching to the 4-3 is good for the NFC East because their CBs, Carr and Claiborne are better in man and press zone. Also in order to have a good tampa 2 you need 2 good safeties that can cover (they don't have 1) and you need an athletic MLB, which they said Sean Lee isn't.

Kinda like us running a 3-4 when we didn't have the right personel. It's funny, but crazier things have happened.

No change is going to be perfect. It takes time to get all the pieces.
