Coach Rod Marinelli is fired. I respect his credentials and his knowledge but I feel that maybe he's better as just a position coach. The cover two schem we run is outdated and too vanilla. I understand that he hasn't had a surplus of talent on the defense but it will be nice to have a defensive heavy draft and get some fresh eyes on this group.

Hey, it's been fun watching a scrappy group of "try hard" guys hustle the past few seasons but we constantly play scared and it caught up with us. We're stuck with Garret at least for another season but I really hope they get a new defensive coaching staff next year.

I want Linehan gone more than Marinelli.

I'm fine with Garrett if we have good coordinators.

It's really not the time for that. We need the talent on defense, the scheme is fine

I like Marinelli but he just doesn't have an answer for Rodgers.


Everyone is criticizing the pass rush yesterday but I think a lot of the lack of a rush was by design and we were more worried about not letting Rodgers leave the pocket.

From now on I don't ever want to see our defense play scared like that. Play tight coverage and go after that guy and let the chips fall where they may.

I have some very bad news for you. Garrett will be here for more than another season, unless he chooses to leave on his own accord, whether or not anyone else is fired.

Coach Rod has done his best to take chicken crap talent and make a chicken salad defense.

At least give the man some better options on the D-Line.

Of course to be fair...part of it is his fault for turning down some players in the draft because they did not fit his mold of what he wants in a DT and his belief that he can find a good to great 1 tech anywhere.

Everyone and their brother was saying that the lack of talent on defense would ultimately be our undoing.

It was.

Firing the DC that helped us defy the odds and make it this far does not help improve that lack of talent.

Marinelli has done more with less than the clapper could ever dream of doing. You give Marinelli two rookies who are in the running for MVP, the best DL in football and a future HOFer and see what he does. Garrett's not in Marinelli's league.

You'd be 8-8 without the both of them.

Gotta love an idiot that doesn't know what is best for him.

How about we get one defensive lineman that's a threat to make the pro bowl before we fire the best coordinator we've had in 20 years.

I have to agree with this. We blitzed Rodgers and he was frustrated before the half, so our answer was to rush 3 on the final play. It's just dumb. If you blitz heavy, he has two plays he can throw. Just throw it up, throw a screen or sack.

So I'm an idiot because I look at a defense that has been either average or below average the last few seasons and request a change in leadership?

I think people forget what this defense looked like before Rod took over. We are upset that we gave up 30+ to Aaron Rogers, but in 2013 we were giving up 50+ to QBs of that caliber.....and 40+ to Josh McCown.

The man can only use what he has at his disposal. Get him a legit DE....not a project that another team cut loose.....not a mid round pick....a true talent. Firing Rod is like calling the fire department, then complaining about the water damage.

You are in idiot because you look at the defense and obviously must see talent that is ready to bust out if they could only get rid of the coordinator that has been holding them back.

I thought he was going to blitz more this game off the edge.... I don't like it when the defense plays off, soft zone to keep the receiver in front of you, he doesn't attack the offensive line enough but Marinelli doesn't have much talent other than Lee right now on defense..

First off if you cannot debate without personally attacking a complete stranger then that speaks more towards your lack of brain activity. Second. As I said. This has not been a good defense under him and I acknowledge that he hasn't had the talent on this unit. But why is it so crazy to suggest a defensive draft and a new coordinator with a fresh approach?

Didn't attack you personally. I used your word against you.
