Probably because he knows he has the Cowboys job if he wants it, and Garrett impressed him at Tampa Bay.

I also heard that he and Jim Washburn were at each other's throats in Philly and he was throwing coaches under the bus weekly at the end of last year, so maybe Andy isn't that beloved among the defensive coaching fraternity at the moment.

1. Jerry probably will pay more
2. Jerry's dome vs. KC outdoors in Decemeber

People are crazy not to want Kiffin as a D Coordinator.

The guy can flat out coach defense.

As for us having corners that are good in man-to-man... Kiffin would play man-to-man a lot. It wouldn't be all zone all the time.

He is known for getting the most out of his secondary, even when he doesn't have the best athletes. I think he'd be fine with having very good corners instead of average ones. Shouldn't hurt too much.

...Consider that, from 1955 (when USC started keeping official statistics) through 2009, no USC team ever allowed more than an average of 386.5 yards per game. Then came Coach Lane Kiffin and his father and defensive guru, Monte. The Trojans allowed a record average of 400.0 yards in 2010. That average dropped to 374.8 last year, but now USC opponents are averaging 406.4 yards per game. USC could well be on their way to breaking that dubious record for a second time in three years. The Trojans finish the regular season with three opponents who average more than 400 yards per game this season: Arizona State (457.8), UCLA (514.9) and Notre Dame (404.4). It’s actually USC’s run defense that has taken the biggest dip so far. USC opponents averaged 128.2 rushing yards per game in 2009, 140.5 in 2010, 111.4 in 2011 and 156.9 this season. In terms of pass defense, the numbers go: 212.3 in 2009, 259.5 in 2010, 263.3 in 2011 and 249.6 this season. For the sake of completion, points allowed per game goes: 19.8 in 2009, 26.7 in 2010, 23.6 in 2011 and 24.2 this season.

Please stop with the age. The man can flat coach defense that is all I care about.
