I always heard that though Rod Marinelli may not be the best coach in the world, he was always a stand-up guy.

I never believed that for a second. The way he talked in the media always rubbed me the wrong way. Towards the end of the season when he collectively lost his mind and started talking about his resolve and how sharp his axe was, I knew that he had worn out his welcome in Detroit.

And now, a month removed from being the least successful coach in the history of the NFL, Marinelli is doing everything he can to take potshots at his buddies in the media on the way out.

As three beat writers approached Marinelli, who was sitting in the stands, he told us to get lost in his own charming way.

“Goodbye, ladies,” he said.

That Marinelli I tell ya, he’s got that online poker face down pat. I would have never known he hated us that much. I thought losing 16 games in one season was just his way of pulling the ultimate bluff. But I’m sure he’ll have tons of success running the outdated Tampa 2 system for his boyfriend Lovie Smith.

Good Riddance Rod.
