Bucs haven't called about Marinelli

On Friday morning, Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones declined to speak about the status of defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.

There are reports linking Marinelli to new Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Lovie Smith.

However, according to a source, the Buccaneers haven't reached out to the Cowboys seeking permission to interview Marinelli about becoming the defensive coordinator.

Cowboys defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said after the loss to the Eagles that he's not retiring nor is his long-time friend, Marinelli. But Kiffin is under fire for a defense that finished last in total defense, 27th against the run and 30th against the pass.

I don't like Kiffin.

But you can't fire the motherfucker and keep Garrett.

If the red headed fuck gets a pass for injuries, so should the old man, it was his unit that was decimated by the injuries in the first place.

Why can't he? He did it with Rob Ryan.

Right, and you know this, but there's no way in hell Rob deserved to be fired any more than Garrett did.

They both should have been out on their asses, but firing Rob Ryan was a bitch move to put the focus somewhere other than on Garrett.

Looks like Marinelli is staying in some capacity, Smith hired Leslie Frazier as DC:

RT @JosinaAnderson: Filed to ESPN: Leslie Frazier just text me "going to Tampa." Frazier will be next defensive coordinator for the Bucs.

Firing Rob Ryan just goes to show how dumb Jerry really is. This move had nothing to do with oil.
