Twitter: Rod Marinelli retires

[RomoplusDezEquals7]

He coached with a tenacity and mindset to be respected for sure. He deserved/deserves all the accolades he gets. Good luck with retirement coach .

It's sad that Marinelli will forever be known as the Coach who preferred Taco over Watt. That poor man will never live that down.

Funny Will McClay doesn't get that designation.

Happy trails coach! Thanks for everything you gave to this game that we all love!

Blame your lauded VP of Player Personnel

No ones listen to BB anymore. Dude just talk about other people talk. But ive been hearing RM was into Taco. Say way he persuade JJ to pick down the Hill.

No question he had his issues but in his defense, the issues weren't all his fault. It amazes me out how every Tom, Dick and Harry are blamed for this team issues but Stephen Jones gets a free pass.

Literally nobody on this forum would have Stephen Jones running things if this was there team. Not sure what free passes he's getting ? (he's unanimously disliked)

Consider this the appreciation thread.

Let's put it this way.........how threads or tweets we see calling him out? Sure he may be "unanimously disliked" but why? I would argue he's probably more responsible for the 25+ years w/o a Super Bowl than players or coaches. I'm willing to bet a red penny are cases where coaches wanted to replace certain players or bring in certain free agents but were denied and forced to work with what they had. Remember how many fans/media have ask why we hold on to players too long or "we like our guys" ........guess who?

 

[reddyuta]

I hate this guy,probably we would playing this Sunday without this *******

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

Was that Taco or Tristen Hill?

I think it was either Shante Carver or Ebenezer Ekuban

 

[Joe Realist]

He retired in 2017, we just didn't know it.

 

[CyberB0b]

Typo. God Marinelli.

Yeah he's a case of so unanimously disliked that he doesn't get his names specially called out because it's basically implied (lol)

10yrs too late. So long Roddle.

 

[RonWashington]

Was that the Trysten Hill pick clip he talked them into ?

 

[unionjack8]

He was so over rated itsnot fathomable
Thought he could turn water to wine, he turned it to stagnant water

 

[The Fonz]

Thank you coach

enjoy the next chapter of your life

Risen will need a new source for his defensive draft picks.

 

[Praxit]

..tell him to pick up Taco and Hill while riding out the Greyhound.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Most overrated coach I’ve ever seen.

 

[Kingofholland]

Rod got a lot of lesser talent and was a great motivator. Congrats on your career!
