Guest Gritz Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 OC maybe under head coach Singletary....only way I'd be interested in him. IMO he didn't do enough with the Detroit offense to warrant a head coaching gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Duke 6 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Why would martz being fired stop us from considering him?Its a lot easier to talk now.Eveybody gets fired.Not a bad coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonsfan Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 He likely could match Singletary's intensity. Remember, though, the "Greatest Show on Turf" had a RB (Marshall Faulk) which allowed the pass-happy Martz to have a more balanced attack. Absent that power back, you get what happened in Detroit...virtually no attempt at running the ball and a QB that gets killed because every defense knows they don't have to worry about the run. This sounds vaguely familiar to me for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Offseason Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 singletary and martz would be a sweet combo. who coaches the defense? wed lose zimmer imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_k Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Great, now he's available. I'd love to have him. The 49ers are pursuing him, but the Falcons probably won't because they're as stupid as the poster of this thread is for implying that his firing somehow means we shouldn't pursue him.

UGA Homers LOVE Van Gomer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 If you're talking about OC then yes let's talk to him.If you're talking about an HC then I'm not so sure. I've seen him freeze in high pressure situations and make stupid decisions.Then there's the whole thing about how his system exposes the QB to getting killed.

We do not need the greatest show on turf! We need a balanced offensive team, one that keeps their D' off the field! Everywhere Martz's offense has been his teams D' are in the bottom 5! This year dead last...377.6 yards a game. And you ask why? Because his offenses score quick, they don't control the clock, they made their D' take the field more than their offense does...Please people enough of this nonsense, this is not how you build a winner!When lovie and martz were together they had a good defense.Its not a fact that his offense will make your def bad.Martz is a winner.He has won.You dont like his offense?Fine but he can coach.

This sounds vaguely familiar to me for some reason... It's called the run & shootWe have to ask ourselves why did a Lions team that Offense was the only semi bright spot on the team fire the OC, it's because they realized he had a gimmick system that doesn't work unless you have the perfect players, or against poor teams. I hope Martz never sets foot in Atlanta as a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In St. Louis he had a HOF in Faulk and they threw to him constantly and Faulk complained about running the Ball more...St. Louis had defensive difficulties throughout their run that was one of Vermeil's complaints and it continued when Martz took over at HC which led to his firing there! I want balance you see what happened to detroit this year their D' wore down 6-2 turned into 7-9 (defense on the field way too long) and they had the worse run offense in the NFC and 2nd worse in the entire league 80.5 yards a game! No thank you!He passes first not he doesnt run at all.Vermeill left and ran all the way to getting fired to.Its about points.Some people dont like the spread offense.Look at the pats how much are they running?

oregonsfan Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Paul K, I'm not going to continue this debate.

For future reference, however, I would suggest if you have a question you might consider asking it - as opposed to commentary regarding "stupid posters."Look, I'll comment any way I **** well like. There are a lot of people on this MB who bash the idea of hiring Martz. I, very understandably, interpreted your thread as made by one of those same people who are anti-Martz. Now I have already retracted my comments that the poster (you) are stupid. If you're still too hurt to handle it still after that, then you might consider not posting anymore threads until you're willing to deal with consequences of how people might interpret your poorly-worded threads.
