Football Coach

The Resume

    (November 4, 1955- )
    Quarterback coach for Green Bay Packers (1992-95)
    Head Coach UC-Berkeley (1996), San Francisco 49ers (1997-2002) and Detroit Lions (2003-November 28, 2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    His Lion coached teams never played up to their potential.
    He got a head coaching job in the NFL after just one season of head coaching experience at Cal.
    With his 'Italian good looks and stunning blue eyes,' players wives unofficially voted him as 'the one coach they would have an affair with.'
    The Lions were fined $200,000 because Matt Millen selected him without interviewing a minority candidate for the job.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Mariucci had nothing to do with the Lions hiring procedure, and was clearly a worthy candidate (57-39, .594 winning percentage as 49er head coach).
    He resurrected the 49'ers from cap hell, improving from 4-12 in 1999 to 6-10 in 2000 to 12-4 in 2001.
    His 49'er squads overachieved.
    In January 2003, he led the 49ers to the NFC West title, and the second biggest playoff comeback in NFL history against the Giants. 49ers owner John York showed his appreciation by firing him the next week.
    He was Brett Favre's quarterback coach in Green Bay, and Favre said he meant more to his success than any other coach except his father.
    He is a dedicated family man.
    Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo is his best friend since they were teenagers, and he was Izzo's best man.
