Chiefs Top DC Candidate - Page 32

**The Bad Guy** · 01-07-2013, 08:55 AM

As I mentioned on this site days before any media last week, the top DC candidate for the Chiefs is going to be Monte Kiffin. He would also bring Rod Marinelli as his line coach.

I've been told it's his job to turn down and they think he wants it.

I think Kiffin has evolved some and doesn't run a straight Tampa 2 anymore, but and the personnel is an interesting fit.

Dorsey would be in huge consideration to be re-signed.

Hali, Dorsey, Poe, ?

Houston, ?, DJ - I think DJ would slide into the Derrick Brooks role.

I hated the hire at first, but I'm not completely against it now. I hate the Tampa 2 defense, but I think Kiffin recognizes he can't run that solely with the offenses of today.

Will be interesting. Just thought I'd share.

I read that as these are a couple of good coaches that we might want to keep but don't know yet. You don't throw away your leftovers until you know you are not going to eat them.

Mel Tucker's defenses have been horrid against the run.

Although the Chiefs might not land a proven DC, they have enough talent to make a guy like Tucker look better than he really is due to what he can work with.

The Chiefs defensive talent>Jacksonville's

I'm assuming you mean Keith Butler, Dane? The Steelers linebackers coach? Just making sure.

Of the guys that have been connected with the job, Jauron is the only one that isn't completely vomit-inducing.

Reid asked the Cardinals if he could interview Horton. I'd say he's on the radar.

I missed that. Did we get permission?

O.city · 01-10-2013, 04:51 PM

TBG said they hadn't said yes or no as of last night.

Wasn't that Dave Adolf that was our 34 guy? I thought GOONTHER transitioned us to 43. And to your larger point...

Thanks for that and thanks to all of you guys for posting the info, "rumors" or not it is good info. It seems we can sniff out the bad info that is put out there. i.e. Ian Rappaport etc.

You're making a blanket statement. Lots of good teams run Cover 2.

No to a traditional Tampa 2. But variations of the Tampa 2 are very successful. I keep pointing to the Seattle defense. It's base is basically Tampa 2.

Just saw on the NFLN scroll that Ian Rapaport is reporting Andy Reid is interested in hiring MONTE KIFFIN for defensive coordinator.
