Sunday's Child - Nikolas
Age, Scheme Don't Matter Much to Cowboys' Kiffin 2/15/13

IRVING - Monte Kiffin figures he could be 52 and coaching the
3-4 defense instead of 72 and running the 4-3.
Age and scheme don't matter much to the new defensive coordinator for the
Dallas Cowboys. Talent and passion do. Kiffin said Thursday that coaching is a
question of "do you like it or do you love it" and says "you got to love it."
Kiffin, architect of the so-called "Tampa 2" defense when the Buccaneers won
the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, will convert the Cowboys back to the 4-3.
They used that alignment when coach Jason Garrett was a backup quarterback and
Dallas was winning three Super Bowls in the 1990s.
Dallas switched to the 3-4 under Bill Parcells almost a decade ago.
