Could Mike Martz Really Come to Chicago?

Wcg_thumb_link_medium
Yesterday, wiltfongjr brought up a name of someone who could replace Ron Turner should the Bears choose to not bring him back: Mike Martz.  Well, apparently, this could be more of a realistic chance than originally thought.

A source close to former St.Louis Rams coach Mike Martz, most recently the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator last season, said the architect of The Greatest Show on Turf might finally be headed to Chicago. Martz -- infamously slated to be the offensive coordinator for Dave McGinnis before Michael McCaskey fouled up McGinnis' hiring in 1999 and Dick Jauron came to town -- is an out-of-work coach serving as an analyst for NFL Network and surveying where he might land next.

Star-divide

When asked about working in Chicago, a source said Martz would love to work with Jay Cutler.

Orlando Pace offers his thought on Martz:

''Coach Martz is a big-play guy,'' Pace said. ''He wants the big plays all the time. You have to have a defense that is sound. He's going to put up 30 points a game if he can, but you have to have a defense. We had some instances like that [where the defense was put in tough spots]. But like I said, he's a gambler. He gambles, and it paid off for us a bunch of times.''

Could this really be a possibility in Chicago?  We've heard the rumors already that a mix-up might be in order... what do you think?  Is there something significant going on here?

it would seem a logical move

This might be Coach Smith’s last gasp at saving his job, because barring an 0 for the rest of the season performance (and maybe even despite that) he will be our HC next season, so this would cause the least disruption while appearing to do a lot.

This would be a complete disaster.......

keep Martz away from Chicago at all costs! He is a team cancer on the order of TO. Look what he left in Detroit, STL, and SF. All 3 of those teams are still trying to recover from his “help” on offense. He would ruin Cutler and leave town. His offensive schemes have already been figured out and it would be like trying to resurrect the Tampa2 in Chicago.

we've kinda already got one

A disaster, that is.
Martz would only be good as a tool for Lovie to save his job.
A gamble.
So I kinda tie it to however long Smith stays.

He's a little crazy but,

When he left Detroit the team went 0-16 and their offense dropped drastically…

and this year in San Fran the 49ers are having their most success offensively running plays out of the sets that Martz implemented.

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Nov 25, 2009 10:08 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

But the question remains,

If Martz goes to Chicago, will it be now or after the end of the 2009 NFL season?

Too many questions left to address.

If he goes now, I can see him becoming possibly the OC, and then maybe he’ll get promoted if Lovie Smith gets let go once the season ends.

But if he goes to Chicago once the season’s over, and if Lovie Smith is let go, will he be the OC or the HC?

I just don’t know what will happen then. A lot (possibly too much) depends on what happens to Lovie Smith once this season is done. I will say this … bringing Mike Martz to Chicago will make the Bears’ offense much better than it is now.

Martz

sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. Mix his high-risk scheme and Cutler, the Bears offense would turn the ball over even more.

Not necessarily.

I think, to a degree, you can tell that Cutler wants to be going downfield early and often, and his best gifts (mobility and armstrength) are woefully underused. The receivers have shown they can get separation downfield, and Jay has shown he can throw it….coach them better and you’ll see big things.

It's predicated

on them getting separation quickly though. I don’t think that’s a strength of the Bear WRs.

It's going to be Knox's, I think...

as he gets more and more experience at this level. He also needs to learn to accept the fact that he’s going to get hit a little better. But if he continues to work on his actions as DB’s engage him right away, I think he’ll be able to burn past them when he develops his “go-to move”

Knox is a keeper

He’ll continue to grow and progress, but I fear NFL CBs can lockdown on the Bear WRs too easily even with the speed they possess.

Yup.

And another good thing about Knox, besides the speed, is he has actually always been a WR, so it’s not like they are having to teach him the position from the ground up.

Martz is capable of “coaching them better.” Re-tread coaches hardly ever work out for the better.

I have serious doubts

cause he’s been unsuccessful in his last two stints as OC. Albeit, with slightly less talent than what the Bears have. What really scares me is that the O-line in his scheme has to block very well for it to work effectively. The Bears line is a not a strong-suit right now.

His lack of success was largely due to personnel

The first of his last two jobs were San Francisco, where he got a 1 year shake with head coaching changes, and was saddled with J.T. O’Sullivan and Shuan Hill. The success they have now comes in very Martz-like formations.

In Detroit, 06-07, people forget that for the first half of the season, the Lions were strong divisional contenders. Jon Kitna threw for 4000 yards in back to back years in Mike Martz’s offense in Detroit. Despite being sacked 114 times in two seasons. The Bears O-Line is bad, but it’s not as bad as that line.

His headcoaching in St. Louis, after he took over for Vermeil, wasn’t always great, but they were a solid team. They won the Super Bowl in his first year as OC there.

I’m not saying bringing him in is going to fix all of the Bears problems, but it’s definitely worth a look. He knows how to run a big-kid offense.

With everything I said

I would be OK him coming in for a year anyways. It’s not like the Bears can do much better with a lame-duck coach leading the team.

It doesn't work! It only works if (God Forbid) Lovie's contract is Renewed!

If Martz or anyone else is named to replace Turner & if Lovie is let go one year later, the new HC will want to name his own OC! Two OC’s in two years will really screw-up Cutler! It only works if Lovie’s contract is renewed. So,as I see it, here are our choices: (1) renew Lovie’s contract now (just shoot me); (2) fire Lovie & certain members of his staff before the end of his contract & start anew; or (3) suffer through one more year where, for continuity’s sake, Turner’s contract is extended one more year to coincide with Lovie’s. Choice (1) is dumb. It rewards & perpetuates mediocrity. Choice (2) will cost us lots of extra $ (Lovie’s $11 million or so plus the cost of new staff.) Choice (3) drives me to drink. Can I stand another year like this? Do choice (2)! How much of Lovie’s contract is paid off immediately versus being spread out over a number of years? Almost every organization has to eat a contract now & then. It may not be so bad if the payments have been spread thin.

Orlando Pace played his glory years under Martz

and he didn’t exactly provide a ringing endorsement. Basically he hinted that we don’t have the defense to pull it off. He’s right. The Bears should forget Martz. Which is exactly why they’ll hire him. Just dump a little more fuel on the fire, we’re going down in a blaze.

Is this what the NFL has been reduced to?

Pining over which fired or retired HC or OC to scrape up? Is there no new talent? Seems like the teams bringing in new talent are prospering 100 fold than the ones shopping the unemployment lines. (Steelers Tomlin, Saints-Payton, Cards-Whisenhunt, Vikes Childress) vrs (Browns-Mangini, Bills- Jauron)

I look at Martz much like the Tampa 2. It’s played out and teams have figured out how to beat it.

That is not to mention the wild and caution to the wind style this guy brings with him. While I am as desperate as any to get rid of Turner, please not this guy.

by TheMan1 on Nov 25, 2009 11:02 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

this turned into being more about a HC but I would rather see a prospering QB coach get his shot at moving up than someone noone else wants.

by TheMan1 on Nov 25, 2009 11:50 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

The Issue Is Lovie! Not the OC!

For Cutler’s sake you can’t bring in a band-aid OC & then replace him with another OC a year later (which is what any worthwhile new HC would do) if Lovie is fired. Fire Lovie at the end of this year & bring in a new HC & pay Lovie off. If the Bears know how to do contracts, Lovie’s remaining $ will be spread over a number of future years. It doesn’t make sense for either the player or the organization to pay a large amount of money all in one year or two to three years. It would be eaten alive by taxes. Take the $ hit! (It may not be so bad if it’s spread out over future years.) Get a new HC, new OC, new DC (TheMan1 is right-everyone’s caught-up with the Cover 2) & start over while Cutler is still alive & a number of good HC applicants are available.

So after being completely disrespected by the front office and new coach

who are pining after someone with less physical talent than him, he was wrong to say, “this is enough?”

Or an overhyped battle between opposing quarterbacks in the same division?

If you don’t like him so much, why aren’t you calling for his trade or dismissal? I’ve only seen you ask about getting Shanahan numerous times. Which isn’t likely to happen.

Cutler is a good QB,

but he is too much of a baby and he hasn’t lived up to his potential.

And I’m not calling for his trade or dismissal because we’ve invested so much in him. And I also think he’ll get better, but I don’t consider him a “franchise” QB.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

Where a team contemplates trading a guy. And almost every time, the player just goes with the flow and lets everything work itself out. Players shouldn’t have the right to control whether they get traded. Yes, I thought it was absurd to for McDaniels want Cassel more than Cutler, but Jay should have just let the Broncos management decide his fate.

Martz goes soft on Cutler criticism

I know much has been made of Martz making comments on Jay’s “body language” but the other night on NFL network he was laying the blame on the O-line and the lack of experience at WR, and laying some of it at Jay’s feet as well. Just to prove my point:

Maybe the whole Martz hates cutler thing is being blown out of proportion?

Your name makes me think BangBus

I think it has—a lot of hype was unnecessarily pushed to Jay Cutler’s feet, and so there was some blowback from people. Seeing Jay struggle now, it’s evident that while he’s making bad decisions, a lot of those decisions are coming under duress.

Notably, duress in the form of D-lineman and linebackers knocking him down constantly.
