Thread: Martz would be interested in UCLA, Arizona State jobs

And it isn't like the O would necessarily have to learn a "whole new system". Promote Tice internally to OC (the dude has earned every penny of a promotion) and just trim the excesses of Martz's playbook (esp. the too-cute-by-half bs). It isn't like the system is bad, it's more that MM insists on running inappropriate plays/gameplans within it that don't fit the situation or the personnel on the field. I gotta believe that Tice would do a better job of fitting the playcalling to the circumstances, rather than the other way around as MM does all too often.

I don't know man. When he's on...he is ON! I've been re-watching the SD game cause it's been IMO our best offensive game. Our offense did anything they wanted to through the air that day. 4th qtr on a 3rd and long he called a inside screen to Spaeth for a first down that was brilliant.

I thought long and hard about this too and I'm ready for him to be gone. We'll miss some of his creativity but we won't miss the semi insanity of some of his game plans and play calling. We'll go through a streak where we're just hitting every series and then all of a sudden he just quits calling what's working and throws in some non-sequitur play call like that backside screen or the reverse to Bennett when we were driving against the Pack and the end of the NFCC Game.

It's almost as if there's a wicked humor in it for him when he sets thing up to fail. It's almost as if all he thinks about is what a genius he'll look like if it succeeds and never once gives a single thought to what a dolt he'll look like if it doesn't. Well, the coached in Detroit so he must have the hide of a rhinosceros and the conscience of Charley Manson.

Don't even joke about such things, LOL.

We can do better than either Turner or Martz. Martz may have improved things but he an arrogant asshole who'll just keep insisting he's right even when everyone else on the planet including his own QB know he's wrong. He calls out his players for mis-execution of a bad call? Lovie Smith never gets the direspect Jay Cutler has shown Martz and that just what we see on the surface.

Some people are saying that Jay doesn't want to have to learn a new system again and I think that's bullshit. I think it'll be "party at Cutlers" the day he knows Martz is gone for good. Bring in Jeremy Bates.
