The problem is a lot of the guys on the coaching staff are his guys. So who takes over? Marinelli only came here to be with Kiffin.

I think the chance he gets fired mid season are next to zero. Chances he gets canned after the season... I'll put it at about 70% with both he and Garrett are gone. Unfortunately our problems have more to do with the front office then the coaching staff.

Are you trying to invent excuses for this defense?

Really?

40 first downs. 40. 40!

Both sides of the ball were terrible but the defense is NFL history bad.

We ran 43 plays on offense. 43!

No defense could hold Brees if they had to play against the Saints Offense for 3 straight quarters. That's what happened today.
The Defense is giving up too many yards, that much is obvious. That said, trying to fire the coach that is having to make due with no true coverage safeties in a defense that relies in good safety play, and using a game where our offense couldn't even stay on the field enough to give the defense a rest as proof of this issue, is absurd.

Let's not forget about Lee, Ware, and Durant getting hurt either.

Somehow, Kiffin has gotten our defense to play the ball and get turnovers; an issue that we've had for years upon years. Give the man a couple of drafts to get his personnel. He's fielding a 4-3 Tampa 2 with 3-4 personnel.

Marinelli joined the Cowboys because of Kiffin so Kiffin isn't going anywhere.

Maybe we can still get 117-year-old Larry Lacewell can help choose his replacement.

I'm telling you man every draft pick next year better be on the defense. I'll allow maybe one offensive linemen but if the rest aren't defensive players I don't know what I'll do.

The first 2 picks will be defense mark my words

So in other words we put the defense into transition mode in the last good years of our prime players like Romo, Witten and Ware.

Genius.

I'm sorry you got another fix that will work with 6 games left?

So Jerry is going to fire the guy he brought in to fix the defense right after getting his butt handed to him by the guy he fired in order to fix the defense? It would be kinda obvious Jerry made a mistake then wouldn't it?

Is it not obvious now?

That's not what prevents Jerry from doing it though. It would be the fact that he'd be admitting it was a mistake that means he won't fire him.

No, its not obvious to many who are using the injury excuse. In fact, weren't you blaming injuries and lack of talent in another thread?
