    Mariucci joins NFL Network as analyst


    (July 24, 2006) -- Former head coach Steve Mariucci has joined NFL Network as an analyst.

    Mariucci, a 28-year coaching veteran, served as an analyst for the NFL Total Access Super Bowl XL pregame show in Detroit. In his new role, he will offer insight, analysis and a look inside the Xs-and-Os on NFL Total Access and the new NFL GameDay 90-minute wrap-up show each NFL Sunday at 11:30 p.m. ET. Mariucci will also appear on NFL Total Access each Monday night of the regular season, on the pregame show for each of NFL Network's eight games in the "Run Up to the Playoffs" package, and at numerous other events including Hall of Fame weekend, playoff games, Super Bowl XLI and the 2007 Scouting Combine.

    "Steve brings to NFL Network the animated, conversant style he brought to NFL Films coverage of his teams each week," said NFL Network President & CEO Steve Bornstein. "We hope the studio is big enough to contain his enthusiasm."

    In nine seasons as an NFL head coach, Mariucci posted a 75-71 record. With the San Francisco 49ers (1997-2002), he earned four playoff berths in six seasons, captured two NFC West titles and advanced to the 1997 NFC Championship Game. He was head coach of the Detroit Lions from 2003-05 and served as head coach at the University of California at Berkeley in 1996.

    Previously, he was quarterbacks coach with the Green Bay Packers from 1992-95, the first four years in Brett Favre 's Packers career. Favre threw for 14,825 yards and 108 touchdowns in those four seasons, earning 1995 AP NFL MVP honors and leading the Packers to the 1995 NFC Championship Game. Prior to his Packers tenure, Mariucci spent 10 years as an assistant coach on the college and professional levels.

    He'll be a natural. The NFL Network had him on during the schedule show. He was entertaining, but also made good points and knew what the hell he was talking about.

    Funny how the guys who came after Bill Walsh were successful in San Fran but flamed out afterwards. Seifert and then Mooch both sucked in their next jobs. I guess they just rode the nucleus that was there until they all got too old, ie Rice, Young etc.

    ... if you had a choice

    . . . For insightful information, who would you rather listen to, Mooch or Michael Irvin?

    I suddenly had an image of T.O. in a broadcast booth. If they hire Irvin, someone will hire TO. I could not possibly bring myself to listen to any show with TO as an announcer.

    It would be a terrible hire, but I wouldn't doubt it. I see T.O. as more of an in-studio guy for some crappy sports/entertainment show, rather than a football analyist.
