TC in St. Louis Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 If somebody can convince Martz to come in and run an offense, that team will have an astonishing offense. He is a lousy head coach. He hires his buddies to run the defense, and pretty much ignores special teams. He drafts worse than you can possibly imagine, taking whomever he wants whenever he wants, doesn't matter that a guy is valued as a 5th rounder, he'll take him in the 2nd. One year he wasted an early 4th round pick on a guy about whom he said, "I guarantee NOBODY knows this guy!!" why draft him? But I remember in Martz's first year, Trent Green went down for the year in Pre Season. I immediately drafted Kurt Warner onto my Fantasy team. Won going away. He's turned Bulger into a highly rated passer. Al Davis may take a flyer at him as a coach. He'd turn that thing around....offensively anyway. If a team has a strong GM who can take any personnel decisions away from Martz, and Martz has to stay away from the defense and special teams, they will have a great offense for years. I wonder where he'll go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRW Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I don't know, I'd be waiting for a D-coordinator to go all Buddy Ryan on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 A better question is, "Is Mike Martz willing to take a job other than HC?" If he is willing to take a role as an OC, that team would be very lucky in having a great offensive mind. But I think you are right...I would not be suprised in the least to see Oakland take a shot at Martz at HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Martz IS and offensive genius, with particular accent on "offensive." His ego is too great for him to settle for anything other than a HC'ing gig, at least for the short-term (a few years of not working at all might change his mind). But he COULD land a HC'ing gig in Oakland. I just think he'd have to prove that he's 100% again first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 He needs a good HC that forces him to run the ball- his choice of offense cost the Rams winning a superbowl vs. New England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpbillsfan Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 If Vermiel would have stayed in St. Louis that team might have won a couple more Super Bowls. Martz destroyed that team and got Warner killed with no protection. I also picked up Warner that year for my fantasy team and also won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
