NEW YORK: Rod Marinelli was fired Monday as coach of the Detroit Lions after the worst season in American football history while Cleveland and New York Jets also dumped coaches after missing the playoffs.

Marinelli's ouster came a day after the Lions completed the first winless season in NFL history with a 31-21 loss at Green Bay, finishing 0-16.

"You can't go 0-16 and expect to keep your job," Marinelli said. "You're ashamed. I held myself responsible, nobody else. I did everything I was capable of. I did my best and this year my best wasn't good enough."
