Jerry Jones didn’t waste a lot of time replacing his 4th DC in 4 years. This time he taps the veteran coach Monte Kiffin. Kiffin spent the last four years in college as the DC at USC. Kiffin utilizes the Cover 2 (Tampa 2) scheme which is considered a simple yet effective defense that focuses on the fundamentals, an area that Jones says has to improve.
Some wonder if the switch to Kiffin’s from 4-3 to 3-4 will be difficult but as David Moore reports The Cowboys ran out of 4-3 set anywhere from 15 to 18 percent of the time under Ryan this past season so the switch shouldn’t be too arduous. But a more peculiar situation is that the Cowboys secondary is more of a man to man coverage secondary so it will be interesting to see how these CB react in the Tampa 2 coverage.
Well if anything, it looks like Cowboys fans will be in for another soap opera season.
