Marinelli for another 5 years?

[DandyDon52]

Ok I have never seen a teams defense criticized year after year , and yet the DC is considered
by team and most fans to be a great coach.
I think now that they let the secondary go, the team is committed now to Maranelli
for the next 5 years at least.
The players we draft are going to be guys he wants? or the types he wants, so it seems like
a waste if he isnt going to be here another 5 years.

He is getting old, so will his health hold up another 5?
Was it wise to commit to building a defense with a old def coach?

I think it might have been better to hire a young guy and build with and for him.
Let him pick the def guys we are about to draft and pickup.

only time will tell, but the bend dont break seems to me to be outdated.
Sometimes bending will beat you like in the GB playoff game, they didnt break they bent lol
and that was enough.

 

[kazzd58]

they'll probably promote from inside I'm maranelli has a protege' so to speak working side by side with him who is it Eberflus i think we'll be alright... because what he teaches any coach in any system can take from and add to there way of coaching imo

I would like to see Rod's scheme with some better talent to work with.

 

[Pants]

yes, perhaps with some first round talent on the defensive side of the ball, ol' Rod will look much smarter

No offense to you, but I don't think you realize how long 5 years is.

Since 1989 when Jimmy Johnson became head coach after Tom Landry, we've had 7 HEAD COACHES... that's an average of one every 4 years... let alone 5 years for a defensive coordinator. Not saying it isn't possible, but it's extremely unlikely that any coach currently on the team will be here in 5 years.

 

[waving monkey]

Jerry will try to keep these coaches in place. Who knows how successful he'll be.
Eberflus will be hard to keep in place but thats pro football.
JJones makes it a good place to work.
Some have a problem with bend dont break but when has Marinelli had a squad
talented enough to preform Marinelli's system as intended?

A lot of that has to do with lack of success. Hopefully that isn't the same with Garrett considering he will have such a young, talented offensive core for a minimal of four more years. After all, Garrett has been here for 9 years now? He was the "coach of the future" when we brought him in and for better or worse, The Joneses seem very content and patient with him.

During that span between Jimmy and Garrett, we didn't have two 12+ win seasons during a 3 year span either.

I'm ready to move on to a younger, more aggressive DC.

THIS! Play makers! Let's get them.

 

[kevm3]

The only 1st rounder I can think of on that defense right now is Byron Jones. When claiborne was out there, he was perenially injured. Given the talent level Marinelli has left with, he has worked wonders. There's not a DC out there that's going to create an elite defense with late rounders, the injured and castoffs from other teams.

 

[ondaedg]

Marinelli was brought in to create turnovers with his style of defense. The challenge for him is he's being given late round draft picks and free agents off practice squads. The top defensive draft picks have either been suspended or hurt WAY more than they're healthy. I'm not one to buy into excuses but I think Marinelli has done a good job being competitive with a roster that is lacking talent outside of Sean Lee. I'm not sure any coach could do better with the talent pool he's been given.

 

[perrykemp]

Anybody else ever wonder if ultimately Marinelli is a much better DL coach than he is actually a DC?

 

[darthseinfeld]

I think he will retire within the next 3 years. I think Eberflus gets his job afterwards.

 

[Sydla]

I don't think the 5 year contract really matters all that much.

If the team craters in the next year or two Marinelli's contract won't preclude Jones from making moves.

Rod will be 68 in July. I think he has plenty of time left to coach at a high level. It's not like he is going to forget stuff in the next few years.
I attribute the GB loss, or a possible reason was, they didn't draft a player that could play now in the 2nd round, instead of a huge stretch for Jaylon Smith. Who knows, that 2nd round pick could have made a play to prevent that pass to set up the FG.
You are stretching that the D will not be good under a 68 year old coach, so I will stretch the 2nd round pick deal....

This is the most likely scenario.

I have always thought this which is why they added a coach to help bridge the communication gap between the DBs and the rest of the defense. He is not a guy who is going to mentor DBs.

67 isn't considered old any more is it?

 

[CATCH17]

His scheme kinda is what it is.

It's a good solid scheme at containing teams but when you face these spread offenses with elite QB's it's easy pickings for those guys because it's the same look almost every play.

It's as basic as our offense.

Schematically we are in the stoneage and we rely almost 100% on talent.
