I thought about something this morning.
If Monte Kiffin was hired as Defensive Coordinator for the Packers or the Patriots, everyone would say Kiffin is the "Obe One Konobe" of defensive coordinators.
But because it's America's team it's labeled a "questionable hire".
This dude created a defense and won a Super Bowl with it, and now he has the best pass rusher in the league!
Kiffins defense has never been the problem.
It was always the offensive side of the ball that made his defense look bad.
And our offense will be much better this year.
Get ready for an action packed season fellas!
It's that Dallas bias. Obviously I expect it but it's annoying when the media drives home these false themes and then the average NFL fan runs with it. Kiffen said this was the most talented D he's ever coached, but because he's with the Cowboys all of a sudden what he did with some average college recruits at USC is more relevant than the ten plus years he coached in the NFL. And people ignore Marenelli. Anyone who watched Chicago knows that a big part of the success they had forcing turnovers was because of the techniques Marinelli taught. And EVERYONE, fans, media alike talked about how bad Garret was at play calling and how he needed to be a walk-around coach. The Cowboys do that and now Jerry Jones is trying to undermine Garrett
But like i aaid I expect it. People will hate on the Cowboys no matter what they do. People on Twitter a couple days ago were talking about how over rated Aikman was because he didn't produce monster stats. Yet the very same people bash Romo for not having playoff success / Superbowl wins.
