Nate Newton talking about Marinelli

[igtmfo]

I'm not much of a fan of the old afternoon Dallas ESPN radio show Coop and Nate, if it is still going at night nowadays- now they've just put Coop on 6-8 p.m. again on ESPN radio and not sure how often Nate Newton is going to be on there. Not sure I like Nate on radio overall as a voice, or his opinions as either very informed about anything other than the Cowboys or even then, or as entertainment ...

But Nate was asked today about Marinelli. Very enjoyable segment on 103.3 FM this afternoon.

Marinelli saw Nate on the sideline as just a media guy this weekend and asked him over to coach the DL. Nate was surprised, but did it watching drills, player by player, told him you're playing too high not enough depth and power which is what happens when you're either out of shape or outclassed, bad footwork, other tips. Marinelli came in and hollered and about laid the anointing oil on Nate in front of his UDFA/tryout players after his talk. Nate was telling them what to do and Marinelli was proud of what he had to say.

Nate said: There are many voices in camp, but he had seldom ever/if ever heard a voice (an effective voice above the others, that is) like Marinelli's. It's not so loud, but it covers the field, he said.

Accd to Nate, when Marinelli calls your name out (in criticism or maybe in praise), "it's like a spotlight on you."

Hope so, too. I'd say it's more likely he follows Lovey someplace next season. But, if he likes it here enough, we might have a shot at keeping him for a bit.

If we are 8-8 again, could be that Marinelli might indeed be on Lovie's staff but he may not have to travel real far at all.

i see what you did there

having said that, the fastest way to long term success is for garrett to have success here

so, despite all my concerns, that is what i will be hoping for

That's a great story.

the only problem I see with this situation is if Lovie does become HC (according to your scenario) wouldn't that make Marinelli the oddman out? Lovie is a defensive guy and so is Marinelli correct? If this were to be the situation (unless Marinelli does not become DC and remins a position coach) Lovie would have to bring an OC right?

The Conspiracy Theorist don't exactly think those kind of things out like you just did.

I don't see how Marinelli and Smith wouldn't work. They worked together for several years in TB. In Chicago, Rod was the assistant HC/DL coach/DC and that could work here too.

Edited to add: As a matter of fact, when Lovie was fired Rod had the chance to interview for the HC gig in Chicago and turned it down citing loyalty to Lovie.

This.

If Marinelli is under contract for 2014 he can't leave unless it is for a Head Coaching job. Even if it is a promotion, Head Coach is the only auto-out clause.

You know, I doubt Marinelli will get another HC gig in the NFL. This is obviously pure speculation, but if he likes it in Dallas, I could see him being a Jim Johnson type and being our DC for a really long time.

Again, pure early speculation, but what a nice plus it would be to have a vet coordinator in place for the long haul.

I agree 100% with this whole post.

I could see Marinelli's voice alone being worth two more wins.

This was a mildly interesting tidbit re: Marinelli and his DL:

New Cowboys defensive line coach Rod Marinelli is making no secrets about the fact that he expects all of his defensive linemen to get to the quarterback. In fact, Marinelli had the sign on the defensive linemen's room changed to read "Rushmen." "That's what we have to do," Marinelli said of the sign change. "In the four-man front, you try to identify a position or men with one thing they got to be able to do, and that's that. It's very clear."
