As of last year, Kiffin's defense has finished in the Top 10 in passing defense 10 times in 12 seasons, and in the top 10 in points allowed in 11 of the 12 seasons he spent as the Buccaneers' DC.

where was kiffin before he was hired by dungy? what has he done since then that has been so ground breaking? he has been on cruise control and landed the best job of his career. before that he was all over the place. a coach passed that much tells a story.

he hasn't had to really teach a system to teenagers the past decade.

Monte said yesterday, 'football is football'. He said he was talking to Pete Carroll about the transition from the NFL to College, and was talking about he wouldn't have trouble coaching 18-22 year olds because he has coached guys like Gaines Adams who came out of college at 20 years old. He isn't just bringing the Tampa 2, and dumping it on his players. He'll have to adjust & do other things.

Kevin Carter, one of his players in Tampa, said this...

No matter, said Bucs' defensive end Kevin Carter, who even went so far as to suggest that the legendary Kiffin might be a better fit in college - recruiting and all - thanks to his enthusiasm.

"He might," Carter said. "The kind of 'rah rah' type attitude, the college enthusiasm that we (the Bucs) play with and that we have, it's uncommon in the NFL and he's kept it here for a long time.
