It's funny the ways a good coach can motivate a player or players. And this guy seems to be one of the best at it!

I'd like more info on Nick Hayden's nickname as reported in the article...

(the zone filters might block it so I won't post it here)

I prefer Rush Men over Fearsome Foursome. The Fearsome Foursome is a nick name that has been used by multiple teams (Giants, Chargers, Lions & Rams), but the most famous were the Los Angeles Rams' DL: Deacon Jones, Rosey Grier, Merlin Olsen (Hatcher's only white guy comment) and Lamar Lundy (later: Jack Youngblood, Merlin Olsen, Fred Dryer and some other guy I forget)

So instead of reviving the Fearsome Foursome, why not Doomsday? Or even Rush Men. They even have their mascot in the bird drawings by Marinelli.

I am fearful that Lovie Smith will get another HC opportunity and take Marinelli with him.

I don't think Lovie will get another job but anyone who wouldn't offer Marinelli a job as their DC is just stupid. Hopefully Jones pays this guy enough to keep him happy so he can take over after Kiffin leaves.

It seems rather obvious and natural to us that Marinelli move when Kiffin leaves. Hopefully the FO can see that know that should happen also.

IRVING, Texas -- Tiny foam footballs hang on the lockers of the Dallas Cowboys' starting defensive linemen along with a personalized note from their position coach.

“Big Daddy,” the note in Jason Hatcher's locker begins, addressing the defensive tackle by his new nickname, “THIS IS A BALL! -- Sack-Fumble + Score. We're due!!!”

That's classic Marinelli, the most overqualified position coach in the NFL. He's constantly pushing his “Rush Men,” as the label outside the defensive line's meeting room calls them. Marinelli's methods include the occasional high-decibel four-letter word, a ton of attention to detail and a type of relentless, personable enthusiasm that brings a smile to the faces of the Cowboys' newfound Fearsome Foursome.
