Rams sucked back then, Rams hired Martz, Rams had a championship run, a run of glory, like no other team during that era. Rams ditched Martz and they plummeted. Lions sucked for ever and ever. Martz led them to 7-9 last year! Do you remember? The greatest glory of the grimmest grimy goons? They fired him, and which other team dropped 7 wins from last year to this year, and why? 49ers sucked last year. Martz’s offense improved scoring by over 50%. In his first year. Fans who care and know about football love Martz, because they see what he does. People who live in offices and care about the comfort of upper level administrators worry about Martz. Yes, he is smarter than them. Yes, he knows how to do everything better than them. Does that mean he is arrogant? has a secret personal agenda, an ambition? Here’s the secret, he wants to win games. Here is the Martz deal — he wants to win more than anyone, and he does not want to kiss ***. Football matters. The myth he has “his own agenda” is, in reality, he wants to win even if management does not want to cooperate. Martz has a unique record. He has joined totally suckass teams three times and each case made them better, and when fired, each team as dived (or in the case of the 49ers, will dive.) His former players are devoted to him. Ask Marshall Faulk, one of the most intelligent players ever. Ask Bruce, Holt. He cranks out QBs from nothing like no other coach in history: Warner, Green, Bulger, Kitna. Hell, even Fitzgerald (a Martz pick and protoge) led pathetic Cinci to three final wins this year. Martz’ first choice as his DC was Lovie Smith, a former coach and friend from ASU. That worked out pretty good. Any intelligent football fan knows Martz has consistently been on top of the league, despite being fated to three of the worst teams in NFL history over his career. Give the keys to the Chargers to Martz? or the Jets? or the Broncos? Yea, can you imagine? He’s the most under-rated coach in the league and he deserves to get a shot.
