Babe Laufenberg: Having Rod Marinelli as your coach is like taking a guitar lesson from Clapton

As we get older, our perspective on life changes. We tend not to dream as much, and not nearly as big.

So my fantasy today? I want to go for a ride-along in Rod Marinelli’s head.

Don’t know the cost, but I’ll pay it. Don’t know how comfortable the seating will be, but I’m ready to crouch in the fetal position if necessary.

The Cowboys’ defensive coordinator coaches with a passion second to none. The phrase, “You get what you demand, you encourage what you tolerate,” should be stamped on his forehead. He demands everything, tolerates nothing.
