Every NFL team that Martz left did much worse after he left. Rams have been a disaster after firing Martz because of a dysfunctional front office. Rams made a point of hiring next head coach after Martz who supposedly had a better offensive philosophy (Scott Linehan), offense died under Linehan.
Lions had their infamous 0-16 season immediately after firing Martz (Detroit head coach Rod Marinelli fired Martz and said he was going to “pound the rock”, run the ball, when he had neither the OL or RBs, Marinelli looked old and senile while overlooking NFL is a passing league). Martz revived Jon Kitna’s career at Detroit and successfully worked around having 3 consecutive first round WR flops of recent drafts (Charles Rogers, Roy Williams of Texas, Mike Williams).
Mike Singletary, worst head coach in NFL history, has never been a coordinator…ever! Singletary fires Martz… then DURING THE SEASON (2010) fired Martz’s replacement, elderly out-of-touch Jimmy Raye.
Martz helped get the Bears have a good enoough record to host the NFC title game and almost to a Super Bowl. Multiple offensive coordinator candidiates rejected the Bears before the 2010 season, it was assumed underachieving Lovie Smith would be finally be fired after that supposedly losing season.
Certain head coaches, GMs, coordinators and players get savaged in the press and some of the public while unqualified/failing ones get almost no negative press until the end(Leslie Frazier, Rod Graves, Hue Jackson, Romeo Crennel (Cleveland), New Mexico’s Mike Locksley, Kansas’ Turner Gill, Jason Garrett). Martz, Jim Fassell should be somewhere in the NFL.

“what’s odd to me is how little this team is throwing the ball. Both teams, really.”
“less than 10 sacks? This is a hall of fame offensive line”
“what is that quarterback doing? He appears to be changing the play at the line of scrimmage. Is this allowed??”

And other phrases you’ll hear every game.

Tony Siragusa should stick to remodeling garages.

Ms. Pam Oliver is still the best at what she does and remains soothing on the eyes brother.

Mike Martz views a reality different from our own.

This is either going to be so bad it’s funny, or so bad you open up your tv and permanently disable your speakers.

Brilliant , yea sure if u worked that group of players down in St. Louis you’d be considered brilliant too. Look what he did everywhere else.
He almost killed Cutler
