Hill: Marinelli and Nutt Hired

Skip Peete has done nothing, but it's not like he had an offensive line helping him. But we already got rid of Hudson Houck, and it was only Callahan's first year. He had to be fired.

The real question is now with Nutt do we keep Felix Jones? It seems like too much of a coincidence that we hired him, while we have one of his rb products here.

Skip Peete had 3 1000 yard rushers in his nine years in Oakland.
Not a single 1000 yard rusher in his 7 years here.

Rod Marinelli is the perfect addition to the defensive staff and he could have easily taken a coordinator position on another team, but chose instead, to reunite with Kiffin.
They were together for 10 yrs in Tampa, so they have an excellent understanding of whats expected day in and day out.
Locker room chemistry is a term often directed at the players specifically, but dont dismiss its importance to the coaching staff as well.

Rod, Nutt? Is Jerry trying to woo Dick LeBeau in as we speak?

[pjtoadie]

According to Broaddus:Nutt's not coming here?

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus
“@BATMANONFILM: @BryanBroaddus Houston Nutt for which coaching spot on the staff?” I don't believe any.

And Jerry Jones is looking pretty smart as a GM by taking such action and upgrading the coaching staff.

And so much for the "no good coach in their right mind would want to coach here" crowd.

That's ok fellas - plenty of empty spam cans y'all can crawl back into now.

And so much for those that claim Jason was hampered previously, because Lacewell point blank told us that they were doing it Garrett's way and it didn't work.

That's just been one of my longtime gripes; that it seems Jerry hires a HC then forces him to work w/ the staff Jerry picks for him.

Lacewell point blank said they did it Garrett's way and it didn't work. So essentially it points to the fact that Garrett was never hamstrung and that these guys are being appointed whether Garrett likes it or not.

How does Garrett like the karma?

Doesn't Jerry Jones UPGRADE the coaching staff EVERY year ???

Hillis looked horrible in Kc I doubt Dallas wants to sign that guy.

I'm liking the moves so far. That's a LOT of personalities under one roof, however. Rod, Houston, Jason and Jerry in a room together? Callahan if he stays? Terrifying!

Jason's got his work cut out for him, but if he can stitch it together, could be fun.

Oh Boy,

@JasonLaCanfora: A lot of people, me included, though Marinelli to Dallas might be a slam dunk. But I'm hearing that's not the case...

@JasonLaCanfora: Marinelli worked with Gus Bradley in the past and is being considered for his staff in Jacksonville as well. He lives in Florida
