Yes, a coach by tomorrow
As Kevin Antcliff mentioned in the last post's comments a couple of hours ago, Rod Marinelli has reportedly been hired as the Detroit Lions' new head coach. Both all-sports stations in town, WDFN and WXYT, along with the Detroit Free Press, are confirming the news. Chris Mortenson also joined in the fun on this evening's SportsCenter.
And according to mlive.com and Terry Foster's blog, the Lions will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. Any guesses as to what the news might be?
In the meantime, the aforementioned Mr. Antcliff saved Marinelli a lot of trouble by putting together an excellent list of what the Lions need to fix. The new coach has time to look it over by tomorrow morning's presser, doesn't he? Maybe the president/GM could give it a glance, too.

Like I blogged, I'm not sold on the choice. I'm hoping he makes some good calls with his coordinator positions.
Still, I admit I feel a little excitment now that the deal is done and we can see where this team is going.
