Thoughts on Marinelli

author Posted by: Leelanau Sports Guy on date Jan 20th, 2006 | filed Filed under: Detroit Lions

Here’s an article with some of the latest quotes about Rod Marinelli from former bosses, players and fellow coaches. Lots of positive stuff and the concensus is that the Lions got a great coach who is the perfect fit for them. I hope everyone is right!

My View: Here’s what I say about Marinelli…

Leelanau Sports Guy, Lions fan since mid-70’s: “Rod will do a great job, I have no doubt about it. He has helped build one of the best defenses in the league over the last few seasons. He will bring discipline and toughness to a team that desperately needs it. He will be the coach to deliver the Lions a championship! Plus what a bargain at 4 years at $2 millions a season!”

    I sure hope your gut feeling is right. If the Lions actually won a championship, I don’t know what I’d do. Probably break down in tears… Or get rip snorting drunk… Maybe both!

    The more I read about Marinelli, the more I’m warming to him. But I reserve the right to biatch and moan if the his staff hires are underwhelming.

  2. Leelanau Sports Guy Said,

    Big Al. I have an uncle named Big Al. Seriously.

    The staff is a big factor for sure. Let’s hope he can find an OC who can fix this stumbling, bumbling offense.

    I have tried to figure out what I would do if the Lions ever did win. I would definitely drive down to the Motor City and join in the party. Hell if they ever make the Super Bowl I will take out loan to make that trip!
