On what convinced him to hire Casey "Gus" Bradley: "I got a call about two weeks ago from a man that I have great respect for: Monte Kiffin. I worked with Monte in New Orleans, and I’ve stayed close to Monte. Monte is a legend in this game as a football coach. Monte calls me JL. Have you ever heard Monte talk? He’s kind of like, [does impression]. That’s enough Monte. He said, ‘Hey JL. Listen to me. I have got a guy here in Tampa that is one of, if not the finest, football coaches I have ever worked with. He’s an A+. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime coach. You need to talk to him. His name’s Gus Bradley. He was the defensive coordinator for x-number of years in college. I hired him to be our quality control coach, knowing that Joe Barry was going to go to the Detroit Lions and I wanted to make him the linebacker coach, and JL, this guy is special. You have to bring him in, you have to talk to him.’ Well, when a man like Monte Kiffin, who’s had the success that he’s had in this league, and someone that I’m familiar with and have great respect for personally and professionally, says that to you, you say, ‘I think I better bring this guy in and talk to him. So I brought Gus in last Wednesday. I picked him up at the hotel at 8am, and I dropped him off at 11pm, which meant I spent 15 consecutive hours with Gus, because I felt that that was an incredibly important decision to make: who was going to be our defensive coordinator, who I was going to put in the room with that group of men so that they can reach the level of play that they need to reach for us to bring a Super Bowl to the city of Seattle. Through the course of the day, I realized, ‘Boy, Monte is dead-on. This guy is special.’
