Lions fire Marinelli after going 0-16 (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Rod Marinelli might be a good head coach. He just isn't going to find out for sure in Detroit. Marinelli inherited a Matt Millen-created mess and compounded his problems by reuniting with some former Tampa Bay Buccaneers whose best years were in the past. The result was the NFL's first 0-16 team and a three-year record of 10-38 for Marinelli, who was fired Monday by the Lions.
