10 Coaches That Could Potentially Replace Jason Garrett

7. Rod Marinelli

Sometimes, teams just want to promote someone within the organization to be their next head coach. Marinelli could be that person for the Cowboys.

Marinelli serves as the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, and definitely looks more qualified than Garrett.

Marinelli was the head coach for the Detroit Lions from 2006-2008, and it was quite a disaster. As we all remember, the Lions went 0-16 in his final year. However, that was over a decade ago.

Marinelli has been with the Cowboys since 2013 and has held the defensive coordinator role since 2014. If Jerry Jones is looking for someone to promote, then Rod Marinelli would be the guy.
