Chiefs still after marinelli? - Page 4

Edwards hinted Wednesday that he may be interested in Marinelli, a Tampa Bay assistant who is interviewing for the Detroit Lions’ head-coaching job. But it won’t affect the status of Cunningham, who was hired by Dick Vermeil in 2004 to turn around a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league.

so let me try and get a feel of the situation...

marinelli is still interviewing for head coaching positions so we can't really try and hire him yet and Gun was about to hit the market for other job chances.

So rather than losing both .... Edwards got the ok to hire both

Gunther as DC ... Marinelli as asst. HC/Defensive Coord

so on defense we'll have

Edward - a defensive HC
Marinelli - a defensive asst HC
Gunther - DC/foot shuffling porter

i can live with that ... as long as we get marinelli to keep a leash on Gun.

I like others have said, it seems that the Chiefs are in pursuit of Marinelli.Therefore, we will have to wait and see what transpires.

Only more annoying...

Look at the Gregg Williams situation in Washington. Williams isn't the defensive coordinator, Greg Blache is. Williams is the "Assistant Head Coach - Defense".

We could offer Marinelli the same type of position. And I imagine we'd have to offer him the same type of pay to get him to choose this job over numerous better opportunities.
