Except for Martz it was sooner rather than later. Dude was a coordinator / head coach with the rams between ‘99 and ‘05, and then he failed to replicate his early success with the Rams in his next, and final, three gigs in the NFL.
I’m not trying to knock, or cheapen his accomplishments. My response was, again, to the glorification of Martz when probably no one would have called him a quality coordinator at the end. Yet some people are now saying he is an “offensive genius” and implying he deserves of an NFL job again. Dude coached himself out of the league long ago.
It was a comment on how time skews perception.
well isn't that what I said? people hopped on Warner bandwagon when he criticized Dak. his career ended sooner than later, but now its all the rage that Martz career ended sooner than later. what gives?
there is no glorification. not sure where you read that. its that he didn't criticize Dak incessently as Dak bashers do and now its glorification in their mind.
and during the few years the rams had some of the best offenses in the league. it was innovative at the time and its elements of quick hitting offense still exist today.
btw, who says he deserves a job today? Linehan at some point was a good OC and had innovative effective offenses. time passed him by. he doesn't deserve a job. I can list 100s of coaches who don't deserve a job any more.
there is no perception. he understands football way more than any single person on this board, by 10 fold if not more. so to diss what he accomplished because it doesn't fit the agenda is totally assinine.
