Although Terrell Owens has not given any indication as to which way he is leaning, coach Mariucci expressed faith in Owens making the right decision. “That's a decision he's got to make," Mariucci said. "He'll do the right thing” It’s this type of comment that shows that the player and coach have a new found respect for one another.
