What's the status of Monte Kiffin?

[Stryker44]

Does anybody know his status for the 2015-2016 season?

I know 2013-2014 was less than ideal - but the Cowboys were transitioning defenses so maybe he's not all to blame?

Surprising he is not in talks with anyone, anywhere, about being a defensive coordinator.

What exactly did he do wrong in Dallas? With Tampa he was one of the all time great coordinators.

Latest I heard, the Cowboys were still talking to him regarding next season. I really don't think there is a position for him, JJ is just trying to be nice. As far as outside interest, he is 75 years old...right or wrong, not sure how much interest there would be for someone his age.

 

[Tabascocat]

Probably retained as a consultant like Dick, both too old to really be a DC IMO.

 

[jrumann59]

IF he comes back he will be something like Special Consultant of Defense Personnel and Gameplanning

What does Kiffin actually do with the team other then sleep in the booth during games ?

 

[Displaced Cowboy]

Don't know if anyone woke him up yet to ask him if he wanted to come back.

.............nap coordinator.

 

[Tabascocat]

.............nap coordinator.

Or food runner between Luby's and Valley Ranch. He can also take a golf cart around town and map out all of the early bird specials

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I sense a lot of ageist sentiment.
Leaf him alone. Let him nap.

He reads the rushmen bedtime stories at away games.

I see so he is a regular Mr Rodgers then.

 

[TheCoolFan]

As long as Marinelli wants him here then give him a lifetime contract

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Heard he's the guy who has to get the Buffalo Wild Wings for away games next year

Alive?

Still has the comb over.

All jokes aside, Kiffin has forgotten more about football than any of us will ever know. Keeping him around as a consultant is not a bad thing. I don't think he probably has the energy to run a defense anymore, but there's nothing wrong with having an experienced guy like that around to help out where he can.

 

[windward]

He can pal around with Switzer and Lacewell for all I care. Seriously though,he can be a valued guy for Rod and Jason to bounce ideas off of. A professor emeritus of sorts.

I'm sure that's true. But how much new about the ever-changing game is he learning at age 75? If the role is back row consultant, sure, why not?

 

[cowboys1981]

At his age I'm sure he just wants to be involved in what he loves in some capacity.

Alive?

I still giggle over @Risen Star calling it 'Defense at Bernies' two years ago.
