Prayers up for Monte Kiffin’s family and friends. The Father of Ole Miss Head Coach Lane Kiffin passed away today at the age of 84. He is one of the Greatest defensive minds we have ever had. In my talks with Lane covering college football, Monte’s greatest title is his Hero.

Little bit about his roots, if you're interested. My wife is from his hometown.

heck of a career - full life. Talented family. #RIP Monty. What a run.

Legend - father of the ubitquous Tampa 2

Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch and Ronde Barber - had great talent, but he got the most out of them

13 years under Dungy and Gruden - he made those guys careers for them

rest easy, coach

Was looking over the list of current Defensive Coordinators the other day - 17 new guys this fall

(15 teams have a new OC, so guess its just the nature of the beast these days)

Thought about starting a poll and I couldn't come up with more than 3 who I thought were worthy of consideration for the best DC rn
