Well he has 15 years experience in the NFL at the Defensive Coordinator position.
Of those 15 years he has had a sub top 10 defense... 3 times.
His first and only year as defensive coordinator in Minnesota in 1991. His first and only year as defensive coordinator in New Orleans in 1995.
Since the Tampa 2 defense, he has been sub top 10 in defense... 1 year.
2006 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, were 21st in points. 2005 they were 8th and and 2007 they were 3rd.
Marinelli came to the Bears in 2009. In 2007 and 2008 the Bears were 16th in pts allowed on defense.
Marinelli took their defense from 21st to 4th when he became their defensive coordinator. They ranked 4th, 13th, and 3rd while he was their defensive coordinator. The bears had not been a top 10 defense since 2006.
I think based on the personnel alone this was a top 10 defense when healthy, but I really do believe that these coaches will get the best out of them.
A healthy team with Sean Lee (4), Bruce Carter (3), Morris Claiborne (2), Brandon Carr, DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, and Jay Ratliff will do big things.
