As a Redskins fan, I really do like this hire. Even if Kiffin doesn't transition Dallas over to the Cover 2, they are still likely going away from the 3-4, and for a team that is going to demand results next season, that is not a smart move. If anything, you bring in a new 3-4 guy to replace Ryan, because there will be changes in terminology and basic defensive philosophy, it's still the same system with the same players. Changing to the 4-3 is giving you at least a year to transition over, and I would argue probably a year and a half before you get the right players in and gain experience in the system.
Just a dumb decision, and that's nothing against Monte Kiffin. The guy was an excellent defensive mind in the NFL, and I think he'll be much better in the NFL than his college defenses indicated. If Kiffin is there long enough and allowed to implement his system, it will work out, but I don't expect that to happen.
