Nope. Haven't forgiven him for 2009.
2009 was probably the last time he ran a defense that stopped anybody.
That's karma for ya.

The error in 2009 was that he turned the defense over to Raheem for the last 4 games.
Seriously, do people have no imagination?Everyone seems so focused on bringing people back from the past.There are other people out there that have never worked for the Bucs you know.Monte Kiffin? Have you not seen the results his defenses have had since he quit the Bucs?
What college and one year in Dallas with personnel that don't fit his scheme?It isn't lack of imagination, it's the fact that the next HC is more than likely a Monte disciple and someone who will implement his defensive schemes. Why wouldn't you want the guru if that's the case?
I wouldn't want the guru because this is an offensive league.We're looking at people on the defensive side that made their names over a decade ago and expecting that to work now in a league where there seems to be multiple 5000 yard passers every year and offensive records are tumbling aon seemingly a weekly basis.We need offense not some out dated defensive mind.

Who has he been turning it over to between 2009 and now? His defenses haven't been able to stop a runny nose.

Yep, stopped the Buccaneers cold that season.
Kiffin is a nobody without those 3 potential HOFers he had.
I would rather have Marinelli.
+1. Monte needs to retire. His time as an excellent DC is over.

Agreed. The Tampa 2 is dead.
I feel the same way about Kiffin as I do about Marty Schottenheimer- in their days there were none better, but their days have passed. They both left legacies that the younger guys will try to mimic. They both left the NFL better than they found it. Both are amazing football minds, but both are also in their 70s and I'm not sure would have the stamina to coach at the NFL level. They should both be playing golf and making fun of all the younger guys trying to be like them.
Monte is washed up.
I used to love Monte, but after what he did to Gruden and the Bus at the end of 2008...he can kiss my posterior. The man shut it down when we were 9-3 and looking ripe for the playoffs. Even Brooks commented how the open door coach closed his door during the final 4 games and didn't put in the work he used to. That should say something. We haven't been a serious playoff contender since that dreaded off-season.
No to Monte.
Monte is washed up.
+1. Don't hold any grudges against him like apparently a lot of you do but he's older than dirt.
