There's talent here to make it work. Eric Berry has said that at Tennessee, Kiffin didn't run a straight Tampa 2.

eh...he couldn't make it work in college...and he's 109 years old

we haven't been able (or willing) to identify good young coordinators ever, so i shouldn't be surprised...

Watching every USC game the past year... Kiffin did not impress with superior talent.

USC pushed him out the door....

I do not want Kiffin, but the above is a myth. USC did not have superior talent on defense. They lacked depth and most of the hits from ncaa sanctions were on defense.

USC defensive players drafted by year:

2009 - 8
2010 - 3
2011 - 3
2012 - 1

That softens the blow a little bit, in more ways than one.

We all saw Eric Berry in college. If we could get THAT on the field in KC, Kiffin is worth it.

As long as we don't try to move BOTH Hali and Houston to DE, I'll keep an open mind. I just don't want to see teams pounding us with the run every week.

After listening to folks over the weekend and looking at a lot of the chatter about front office and coaching staff candidates, I get the feeling they're going to try and build a defense the way Seattle has done it.

That wouldn't be the end of the world.
