GEEEZ, looks like the ones who like Kiffin as DC is because he does NOT threaten poor ole JG's job....god forbid, trying to bring in a Lovie Smith, Dave Wannstedt, Butch Davis, Chan Gailey or Norv Turner to break Red's confidence in his master coaching skills. Ala bringing Tebow in to back up Sanchez in NY and resulting in his meltdown. So if this is a Garrett hire, I can see why....and it is for the wrong reason.
There are no shut down defenses in the NFL anymore.....the good defenses will make stops at crucial situations in the game or cause turnovers-------if you don't, you are sitting at home just like the 'Boys are. Rules are now in favor of the offenses, and defenses, especially the kind Kiffin runs, are only as good as the players you have. No magic formula, no guru of any kind as mentioned in other threads here. Yeah, we would hope Kiffin does something that even Garrett is NOT doing----and that is using a system that favors our players' strengths and minimizes their weaknesses. But that was what we hoped Ryan would have been doing as well.
As I have said before, I am a Cowboys fan BEFORE a Jerry or Garrett fan----I would have hoped people being employed to run this team are the best for the team and not to satisfy or calm the nerves/feelings of a certain coach or individual. No hire or action is going to prevent the pressure lil Red riding hood will have this coming season should Dallas get off to another mediocre start. Fans and media will be on Jerry's jiglets clamoring for answers.
If its not nepotism with this team, it is just plain stupidity that runs rampant.
