[Mr. Cynical]

Mariucci, Marinelli...tomayto, tomahto. :;

[Dicknoze69]

Rod Marinelli....he's the Defensive Line coach of the Bucs.

Pretty well regarded in NFL circles. Lots of teams have tried to hire him as DC, but failed.

Spaghetti with marinelli sauce... :yum:

[Devin]

Leave it to the Lions...........lol

[Devin]

Well this should be interesting. Haslett may end up as a DC somewhere.

[Mr. Cynical]

Yeah, Buffalo. :snicker:

Matt Millen just signed his own walking papers. Dumbass.

[tat2dmike77]

Obviously the lions organization could care less about wining.

I mean who is this guy anyway.

[RedEyE]

Haslett is either coming to Buffalo or Oakland.

Since it seems that he doesn't top the Bills list, I imgine Oakland will give him a fair shake.
