Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is reportedly leaving Dallas to take the same position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

Marinelli and Bucs coach Lovie Smith coached together in Chicago from 2009-2012. He was also the defensive line coach in Tampa Bay from 1996-2005.

In his first year running the defense, Marinelli coached Dallas to the 19th best unit in the league this season, giving up the eighth fewest rushing yards per game at 103.1 and 251.9 passing yards.

So this is Garrett's fourth defensive coordinator, eh?

Part of the process.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Well that was quick.

hope that is wrong.

Seems like it's just speculation by Florio.

Putting 2+2 together and trying to "break" a story.

Would Rod really be so classless as to do this an hour after our season ends?

Broaddus has been talking for awhile on Twitter like he expected Marinelli to leave

 

[bvhawkeye]

I'm not too upset about Marinelli leaving. Interesting on who to replace him with?

Mike Nolan? Mike Smith? Jim Tomsula? Ken Norton Jr.? Jim Schwartz? (Apparently Rex Ryan wants Dennis Thurman in Buffalo)

 

[NoShame]

Yea hope that's wrong.. He wasted no time getting out of here. And what's that mean for Frazier?

 

[bbgun]

Haslett!

If he leaves I bet Eberflus moves up to DC

 

[dbair1967]

Broaddus has been saying Eberflus is a likely replacement as DC

Yeah. Haven't heard that Frazier's been fired.

I'm guessing if its true that Marinelli goes there to be DC. then Smith told Frazier last year when he hired him that he was going to make Marinelli DC the following year. Remember there were reports Lovie was trying to get Marinelli last yr and we wouldn't let him go.

 

[dbair1967]

Obviously Schwartz and Linehan worked together for several seasons in Detroit.

Maybe they go for him and he helps recruit on the field gangsta Suh here

Garrett doesn't know any of them.

They will just be lazy and promote Eberflus.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Broaddus has been talking for awhile on Twitter like he expected Marinelli to leave

But he's a clueless guessing idiot... Unless of course he says something positive.

Seriously, there has been a lot of smoke about this. Rod must have some mad love for Lovie if it's true.

I also wonder if maybe Rod wasn't as totally on board with Kiffin being basically fired after one year as we were lead to believe.

 

[dbair1967]

Wonder what type of coordinator Eberflus will be. (like what type of scheme will he run, is he an aggressive guy or is he conservative etc etc) He was the LB coach for Rob Ryan in Cleveland before he came here for a couple years and prior to that he was DC at Missouri for 8 yrs.

 

[cmd34]

Eberflus reeks of laziness and complacency.

I'm shocked Rod would bounce this quickly. I hope that means the team will put an actual effort into improving the d line talent.

Is this something that you have heard or read somewhere?

I hope this report is bullshit.
