Might be more well known for his son Lane these days, but those defenses were nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 If the NFL didn’t kill Cover 2 with illegal contact, he’d have gone down with LeBeau as one of the greatest DC’s ever. That Tampa 2 was next level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tampa 2 was next level. He's still one of the greatest DCs ever, and belongs in the Hall of Fame (same with LeBeau). The only mistake in his career was he carried Tony Dungy so hard that we had to listen to him as an analyst for 15 years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 He was my favorite defensive coordinator back in the early Madden days when defensive coordinators were real people. RIP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Tampa 2 was next level. Honestly, imo, Kiffin still deserves to be referred to as one of the greatest DCs ever. Like you said his Tampa 2 defense was absolute lights out. He is right there with D. LeBeau in my book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y*so*blu Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Hard to think of a defensive coordinator who brought more to a team, or took more away when he left. The Bucs were never the same without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defense was also old as dirt and lost Brooks to retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
