The Detroit Lions fired coach “Hot” Rod Marinelli today, a day after the team became the first in NFL history to finish with an 0-16 record. Was that enough of a reason to fire him? We asked him, and his response was…
“You can’t go 0-16 and expect to keep your job,” Marinelli said at a news conference.
The Lions completed their winless season with a loss to Green Bay on Sunday, pushing aside Tampa Bay’s 1976 season of 0-14 as the league’s worst.
Marinelli, though, said the team was not the worst ever in his opinion because the players didn’t quit, pout or point fingers.
As a courtesy to Rod, we’ve put together a Tecmo re-enactment of what a Super Bowl championship would look like for him…
Juice: Anyway, we’re not going to nut-kick Rod when he’s down. Watch the press conference from yesterday, the day before the firing. He says he is going to go in and watch game film on the loss to Green Bay. He also says he’d do 16 more and is not glad it’s over. Yeah..(long pause)…Really Rod?
