Rod Marinelli's love of football

OXNARD, Calif. -- Rod Marinelli never had a backup plan. He was going to be a football coach. The Dallas Cowboys’ defensive coordinator is in his 19th season in the NFL and second with the Cowboys. He has been coaching since 1973. What would he be doing if he wasn’t on an Oxnard, California, practice field at the end of July? “Doing this,” Marinelli said. “Free some place.” He turned 65 on July 13 and he inherits a defense that was last in the league.
