We'll probably stick with Palermo as our D-Line coach, but, and people may laugh at this because of his horrible record this year as head coach, I think Rod Marinelli would be a great addition the staff.
I second your opinion on Marinelli. He's a good man, and a good leader. No question in my mind that the Lions awful record was much more a function of a front office in total disarry than it was Marinelli's abilities. His persona acutally kind of reminds me of Gibbs - never passes on blame, very level headed. I think the Bears already made him an offer to be a defensive assistant.

Well, Seattle, Houston, and Oakland are also possibilities for Marinelli. Whoever gets him is getting a very good coach.

True dat. Every player I have heard speak has complimented the coach. Truth is, he may be one of those great coordinator/position coaches who is just not cut out to be a head coach.
Do he and Blache have any ties? I wouldn't see him coming here unless he has some connection to the current staff.

Bears got Marinelli, assistant head coach/defensive line coach. Nice move by the Bears
Okay, I'll ask the obvious question...
If Hairston did such a great job with their DEs, why did he get fired?

Its not like they just fired him. They fired the entire defensive staff from DC on down.

Packers' staff set with eight assistants in new positions
Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Coach Mike McCarthy says the Green Bay Packers' switch from a 4-3 defense to the new 3-4 scheme won't be a daunting transition, and the player who would seem to be in for the greatest change -- defensive end Aaron Kampman -- fits new defensive coordinator Dom Capers' scheme well.
