Most people call him Daniel.

His friends call him Dan.

Not sure what Elton John calls him. Maybe brother.

Wow, they are listening to Marinelli too......
Interesting.

Rod, you old fossil.

Gruden thinks it's the 80s again.

You are almost 80 yourself.

You have a common old person's problem.

You stubbornly believe your beliefs outweigh everybody else.

You refused to change your tendencies from 15 years ago..

insisted the defense play the same old schemes..

your defenses would get pounded and grind to a halt..

Did Gruden not see your last mistakes here in Dallas?

A guy named Mr. Taco and Mr. Trystan Hill.

Busts.

Go Rod. Go Rod..you can wreck the Raiders, too.

good . i was worried about him actually making it back .. and i did not want him coming back !

he was one those i thought sucked vs run (along with Cauran Reid and the other DTs)
even in his spots as rotational. totally invisible in 2018 playoffs. i think he was considered a healthy scratch vs Rams playoff game and he didn't help
matters with his off field incident arrest . Good riddance !

" Bye Felicia ! " :thumbdown:

The only coordinator I've disliked more than Marinelli was all the way back to Bruce Coslet.

The only coordinator I've disliked more than Marinelli was all the way back to Bruce Coslet.

Another 'fine' selection!

Dallas Cowboys (2002)

After a year off, Coslet was hired by Cowboys head coach Dave Campo to serve as his offensive coordinator. Coslet's unit ranked near the bottom of the league in both points scored and total yards. Under Coslet, Emmitt Smith saw his streak of 1,000 yard seasons broken at eleven despite his setting of the NFL's all-time rushing yardage record. Smith also only managed five rushing touchdowns, two off his career low. Neither of his starting quarterbacks, Chad Hutchinson or Quincy Carter, were effective either. After a 5-11 finish, the third straight under Campo, Bill Parcells was hired as head coach and Coslet was not retained. He has not held a coaching position since.

Plenty of dubious distinctions in there. But, unlike Marinelli, Coslet only had one year to ruin the Cowboys offense. And never had the ability to sabotage personnel and the draft.

When are we going to funnel some of these nobodies in on our Dline is my question? Poe is coming off an injury, he and McCoy are older, Gregory is a mystery still, and Crawford is always hurt. We need some depth.

They have young guys...Armstrong, Joe Jackson, Jelks, Hill...We just have NO idea if they can play a lick or eventually amount to anything...

Lol, they will find out like us.
Marinelli was a name guy from 20 years ago.

His defenses have been copied but offenses have been able to dissect them since Tampa's SB.

Rob Ryan, Marinelli..

Just a Rogues Gallery of has been and wanna-bees.

Becuz Jerrah loves his offense..

they have always had the lionshare of the cap.

And the defense coach has always been retreads.

So we have always been trying to win with built in handicaps.

So as much as I want MM to succeed..

he himself is the definition of "a retread".

He even admits as much.

So while I want to believe the arrow is pointing up..

I have to see it first.

A tough pill to swallow watching the restricted free agent that we didn't bother to tender scooped up by another team.

You win this round Old Man...

Thanks. I was trying to remember what his status was because I knew he wasn't an unrestricted free agent. It appears the new staff chose not to even tender him.
