Marinelli to take over as DC

[StevenOtero]

It's almost...as if my sig pic...was a sign?

Nah couldn't be. I'm just a fan.

Just remember who found that picture and made a sig out of it. XD

Just when I think Dallas can't do something to surprise me, BAM!!! Jerry surprises me! Kiffin is given a celebratory title and Callahan gets demoted but keeps his title.

I love this move. Rod Marinelli is a great coach, we saw that with his work with the defensive line and his job in Chicago. He can now do what he wants to do with the defense without disrespecting his friend, Kiffin and he get's to keep Kiffin here (only reason he was here to begin with)

The players love Kiffin and he still knows more about football than anyone in the building which can be valuable in other roles, just maybe not huge ones like a coordinator. Possibly advising, mentoring, teachin...ect

By all reports, Marinelli was basically the co-DC (at least) last year anyway. I doubt this changes much.

Guess it's a good show for the fans, though. And that's what matters.

We are one heartbeat away from Monte Kiffin as the head coach.

Maybe two.

This is hilarious.

This is hilarious.

Jerry Jones interm HC with Monte Kiffin and Bill Callahan as coordinators.

A fella can dream, can't he??

Some of y'alls opinions change at the drop of a hat. This place never disappoints. lmao

So one year after switching to a 4-3 defense that doesn't fit our personnel, Jerry is being strong-armed by his geriatric coaches who have one foot in Luby's cafeteria. Yep this all sounds like a longterm plan for success.

Marinelli is now a bum who can't coach. Lol. This website is incredible.

And Monte to pasture...

Not the whole site by any stretch, but there's a vocal core bound and determined to complain about literally everything for very little reason. It's like we were 0-8 last season.

There's not a single post in this thread saying Marinelli can't coach.

Play calling maybe?

You

You saw Assistant Head Coach/Defense coming???

I saw Marinelli being promoted.

1) They denied permission to allow Marinelli to leave.

2) At senior bowl, the only comments given on the staff were that everyone is under contract and were returning, but that roles could change.

That signaled the shuffling of the deck to me. The only thing I didn't see was Linehan coming on board.

He is a pretty good DL coach.

His overall coaching record is less than exemplary... he never coached any position until he got to Detroit where he managed a .208 record which is one of the worst in NFL history. He then went to Chicago and helped Lovie Smith coach the defense, although that defense had been quite good under Lovie for a number of years including basically getting them to a superbowl.

He isn't a bum by any stretch, but it's not like he has a huge track record of success either.

lil late to the party bro

Exactly. It's Garrett and Kiffin and Callahan who can't coach. The 0-16 Lions didn't count because we like Marinelli and he's not older than dust, or a ginger.

 

[perrykemp]

I think Marinelli will be an improvement over Kiffin
