IRVING — Monte Kiffin, the man who was brought in just two short years ago to install the Dallas Cowboys’ Tampa 2 defense, faces an uncertain future with the club because his contract is now up.
Kiffin, who will turn 75 in February, came to the Cowboys from USC. As Dallas’ defensive coorindator in 2013, the Cowboys finished with the league’s worst defense and third-worst all-time. Rod Marinelli replaced Kiffin as defensive coordinator in 2014, and the Cowboys made Kiffin their assistant head coach/defense.
Marinelli, who just re-signed a three-year-contract with the Cowboys, and Kiffin remain close. But it appears there isn’t a spot left on the staff for Kiffin, though the Cowboys are still in conversations with him and working through their options.
---------------
Just sit him in the corner and turn on Matlock. He'll be fine.
