I realize we have threads about Marinelli, and that a lot has been said about OC and DC in those. Maybe it can all be organized here. I want to get right to those without reading Marinelli stuff. I'll do that in it's own time.
I've heard a lot about his son-in-law, the LB coach (John Barry, I think his name is) in Tampa, wanting to follow him to Detroit, perhaps as DC. Allegedly TB denied permission for a couple other teams to interview Barry, but maybe the family relation will cause them to allow the Lions. No sense denying permission when the guy has supposedly gone on record as saying he wants to go to Detroit.
As for OC, I've heard people say they wanted Martz or Tice. I also read something about Terry Shea. Apparently he and Marinelli are friends and he has experience in a number of different systems - worked under Saunders who many wanted as our head coach or OC.
Some of this might be repeating something written in another thread - don't know because I haven't looked yet. If so, I apologize. Then you can bite me.
