Kiffin served as the defensive coordinator for 13 seasons, from 1996 to 2008 and was inducted into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor in 2021. The longest-tenured coach in franchise history, Kiffin played a pivotal role in the Buccaneers’ victory over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.”
Statement from the Bucs Ownership,
“Monte Kiffin was a beloved and iconic member of the Buccaneers family, and our entire organization mourns his loss today. As a coach, Monte was a true innovator who got the best out of his players and helped create one of the signature defenses of the early 2000s. His passionate and energetic leadership style resonated with all his players, and he was instrumental in our first Super Bowl win and the success of Hall of Famers such as Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch and Ronde Barber. Off the field, Monte was kind, genuine, gracious and always had a positive attitude. He was very special to the Buccaneers organization and our family. We send our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Robin, son, Lane, daughter, Heidi, and the entire Kiffin family.”
Kiffin spent 13 seasons with the Bucs working under head coaches Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden.
