Mariucci Contract With Detroit??
 

I know he was fired midway through the detroit contract, so he's been reluctant to get back into coaching the last couples years. Is his contract up yet? If not, will we have to compensate the lions financially and with draft picks?

I'm pretty positive the contract was through 2007, so it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

The Lions are done paying him.

I don't think it would be an issue anyway regarding draft picks since he was fired.

Steve Mariucci Declines to Say Whether He'll Coach the Washington Redskins

Former 49ers and Lions head coach Steve Mariucci has been rumored as a potential head coach of the Washington Redskins, and he is reportedly interested in getting back to coaching.

But he hasn't spoken publicly about the job, so I asked him today. He was at the Super Bowl media day in his role as an NFL Network commentator, so I asked him if he's going to coach the Redskins next year. He wouldn't answer, twice declining to say when I asked him directly if he's interested in the job.

My bet is that he is interested, especially if Redskins owner Daniel Snyder is interested in paying him the $5 million a year or so that the Lions have paid him for the last five years (Mariucci continued to collect on his five-year $25 million guaranteed contract even though he got fired midway through his third year). I have my doubts about whether he's really Snyder's top choice, though.......

(Steves free ticket is up, he's free to go out and get a real job now that the easy money has come to an end.)

If I'm correct the day he was fired the Lions gave up any rights they had to him. When fired that voids the remaining contract and they work aout a settelment.

Wow, he has still been collecting 5 mil. a year from the lions. Why can't I get fired from a job like that?

Re: Mariucci Contract With Detroit??
 

cool, he doesn't need $, he'll just come to coach & win. Of course, he'll gladly take the $3 - 4mil Snyder will offer.

He's been getting paid plus he's doing a GREAT job on NFL Network. I enjoy listening to him. The Ford's must want to kill Matt Millen by now. I'm more shocked that he still has a job.
