Patriots defensive coordinator Hank Bullough made significant further innovations to the system . Parcells was linebackers coach under Ron Erhardt as head coach of the Patriots in 1980 ( after Fairbanks left for Colorado in 1978 and Bullough lost out on the head coaching position ) . When Parcells returned to the Giants as defensive coordinator under Ray Perkins in 1981 , he brought the 3 - 4 defense with him .

Bill Parcells ran the Fairbanks - Bullough 3 - 4 defensive system during his coaching years . Many teams coached by members of the Parcells - Belichick coaching tree currently run similar defensive systems , such as the University of Alabama under Nick Saban and the Cleveland Browns under Eric Mangini .
History of the Cleveland Browns
A month later , Cleveland brought in Romeo Crennel as the head coach , signing him to a five - year deal worth $11 million . Crennel was the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots , who had just won the Super Bowl . His style was described as `` quiet , reserved and gentlemanly '' , but he said he wanted to stock the team with tough , physical players . Before the start of training camp , the Browns acquired veteran quarterback Trent Dilfer from the Seattle Seahawks . In the draft that year the Browns took wide receiver Braylon Edwards with the third pick in the first round .
Penn State Nittany Lions football
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien was hired as the 15th head football coach at Penn State , taking over the scandal - ridden Nittany Lions football program in January 2012 . Early in O'Brien's tenure , the NCAA sanctioned Penn State with a four - season postseason ban and a loss of 40 scholarships due to the child sex abuse scandal . O'Brien posted an 8 -- 4 record in his first season as head coach of the Nittany Lions , a much better record than most anticipated .

Parcells ran the Erhardt - Perkins offensive system during his pro coaching years , which is where Weis originally learned it . Many teams coached by members of the Parcells - Belichick coaching tree currently use this system , such as Notre Dame during Weis ' tenure . The Pittsburgh Steelers also continued to run this system during the Bill Cowher years , from when Ron Erhardt was their offensive coordinator . The Carolina Panthers ran this system as well , under Jeff Davidson , a former Belichick assistant .

In his book How Football Explains America , Sal Paolantonio noted the many parallels between the Patriots ' philosophy and military training taught at West Point .

The Patriots run a modified `` Ron Erhardt - Ray Perkins '' offensive system installed by Charlie Weis under Bill Belichick . Both Ron Erhardt and Ray Perkins served as offensive assistant coaches under the defensive minded Chuck Fairbanks while he was head coach of the Patriots in the 1970s . This system is noted for its multiple formation and personnel grouping variations on a core number of base plays . Under this system , each formation and each play are separately numbered . Additional word descriptions further modify each play ( see below for examples ) .

The `` Phillips 3 - 4 '' , a one - gap version of the 3 - 4 , was also brought into the league by Bum Phillips , head coach of the Houston Oilers in the 1970s . The Phillips 3 - 4 defense is currently run by the San Diego Chargers as well as the Dallas Cowboys formerly coached by Wade Phillips , the son of Bum Phillips . Wade Phillips replaced Joe Collier as defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos in 1989 . The modern Phillips 3 - 4 is largely a one - gap 3 - 4 system , meaning that the defensive linemen are often only responsible for one gap between the offensive linemen . The linemen can afford to be more aggressive because they receive more support from the linebackers in performing their roles . This system generally prefers relatively lighter , more agile lineman better able to perform aggressive slants , loops and gap charges in order to directly attempt to sack the quarterback and make tackles .
New England Patriots
Under head coach Bill Belichick , the Patriots have employed specific on - field and off - field strategies . On the field , the Patriots have typically utilized an `` Erhardt -- Perkins '' offense and a `` Fairbanks -- Bullough '' 3 -- 4 defense , referred to commonly as a two - gap 3 -- 4 defensive system . Their philosophy in making personnel decisions and in game planning has focused on the `` team '' concept , stressing preparation , strong work ethic , versatility , and lack of individual ego . This approach , which has led to five Super Bowl victories under Belichick , was analyzed in the 2004 book Patriot Reign .

Bill Belichick was initially exposed to the 3 - 4 defense while working as an assistant under Red Miller , head coach of the Denver Broncos and a former Patriots offensive coordinator under Fairbanks . Joe Collier was the defensive coordinator under Red Miller at the time , and his Orange Crush Defense was very successful at stifling opposing offenses . The Broncos had decided to adopt the 3 - 4 in 1977 . Bill Belichick subsequently refined his understanding of the 3 - 4 as a linebackers coach and defensive coordinator under Parcells with the Giants . Belichick returned the 3 - 4 defense back to New England when he became coach of the team in 2000 . Romeo Crennel subsequently became defensive coordinator for the team .
Kansas City Chiefs
For the 2010 season , the Chiefs made significant hires for their coaching staff , bringing on former Patriots assistant coaches Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel to coach the offense and defense , respectively . The coaching additions proved to be very successful , as the Chiefs would go on to secure their first AFC West title since 2003 . Their ten victories in the 2010 season combined for as many as the team had won in their previous three seasons combined .
