Chicago Bears Coordinator Watch: Day 27 (Open Thread)

did you guys ever even lose to Martz in detroit? Even as a lions fan I question the logic of recycling our used (& severely abused) coaches. Maybe your GM is just going through the teenage anti-conforming/rebellion stage because certainly no one else is hiring them.

Meanwhile, Matt Millen is still available somehow.

ESPN showed a 1/2 hour NFL Films special on Super Bowl 34 (Rams over Titans, Martz was the OC). They showed Warner getting pounded by the Titans. I watched closely and saw a lot of 7-step drops. This is a concern of a lot of us about Martz; his QB’s get hit. But in the 2nd half, they were showing lots of shorter pass plays, 3 and 5 step drops. It seemed Martz realized what was happening and switched up. Maybe this is Vermeil telling Martz to stop getting Warner killed out there.

In the Bears case, Lovie, as the head coach, will be able to dictate certain things to Martz, whether that be running the ball more, or taking shorter drops to keep Jay from getting killed. It’s been said that Martz likes and respects Lovie, so I’m hoping that whatever instructions/dictates that come from Lovie during a game would be heeded.

Just get somebody competent.

says the hold up is that there is still discussion on who can help the team win next year and martz is the more qualified but people within the organization (no names) think that rogers can turn it around since the players would not have to learn a completely new system…..

martz will be named the OC today or tomorrow…..

silvy is leery of the move, waddle gives it a thumbs up, dickerson as well is meh on the move but will give martz the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance…..

There is no way on God’s green earth an offense run by Martz would work in Chicago. We do not have the offensive line or recievers or running back to run the show like Issac Bruce, Tory Holt, Marshall Faulk. The fact that there was no success in Detroit or San Fransisco shouldn’t be taken lightly. We have already gone through a year of growing pains. Now lets learn a new system so we can have another year of growing pains. Then when it all blows up in their damn faces and they all get canned we can have yet another year of growing pains with new coaching staff and system. The whole thing makes me sick. 3-4 years of growing pains because the management of this team SUCKS is simply unacceptable. If everyone would ban together and not buy tickets and merchandise for this team for a while, maybe they’d get the idea we’re sick of mediocrity when their pockets are no longer getting lined with money.

Unless he can learn to call plays that work for the team, not what he likes to see.

thinks that martz will not get along with MIKE TICE since its one extreme to the other…Add in that martz and marinilli and Cutler might not get along as well…..

martz offense scheme is the complete OPPOSITE of what Cutler skills are….

martz wants his QBs to throw to spots and that is something Cutler is not done before….

Also martz offense is more a pocket passer friendly offense if the offensive line can protect and Cutler strengths is moving pocket around or rolling out of the pocket….

Also thinks that the WRs and RBs will not fare well in martzs offense….

Thinks that the Bears missed out on the right OC in gregg knapp….

Rogers make more sense for this team since that is what Cutler is comfortable with as west coast type offense….

He has heard that martz will be hired from the offensive players of the Bears (did not say when)…..

1. The Bears can only hire who would actually work here for Lovie and the other intellectually challenged in the Management.

1. Whatever scheme he implements will still be limited by the personnel on the roster.

1. We still are 6-7 players away from making any noise whatsoever in the NFC.

1. Offense doesn’t win Championships, defense does.

handled the situation poorly…and they are the laughing stock of the NFL….

Should of just hired martz from the get go because that who was they wanted…

The Bears believe that they are smarter than everyone else….

Angelo not wanting martz was incorrect….

Cutler is a cry baby and should not have any say in the OC search…..

martz has already agreed to a 2 year deal but are trying to get an ok from because he is a baby and a whiner Cutler…..

martz will be announced today or tomorrow…..

mort reported last night on ESPN that martz would be offered the job that night….

I have seen a supposed “Bears insiders” at other sites state that martz would offered the job and they were working out the contract….

You had dickerson this morning state that what he has heard is that martz will be named the OC….

Jim Miller on the Score state that he had Bears offensive players tell him that they were told martz will be hired…..

and Just now hub on the score just said that martz has already agreed to a 2 year deal….

Just announce the dame thing already…..sheesh its not like it is some big secret now….

might as well have the post up here with stats and what not and start talking about it already….

Hes Lovie buddy….when has Lovie turned down a buddy….NEVER…..If Lovie is still head coach of the Bears his son will be named DC in 2011 or 2012….book it…

damn a bunch of moRANs up there….

But I just do not see this “marriage” working at all. As I said in an earlier post, the offense will try to learn this new system. Next year will see growing pains in learning the new system. The team will falter as a result. They fire Lovie and crew and bring in a new regime. A new system ensues. Yet another year of learning and growing pains. What in the hell does this accomplish. This organization has taken a large step to being in the shitter. They should have cleaned house and brought in a new coaching staff. That way we could have a year of growing pains, get some draft picks and rebuild this once great organization. But NO….we have to hire one of Lovie’s buddies. He will ruin our franchise quarterback. We will not have a franchise to speak of if they keep going with all of this BS. There is a reason Martz was out of work. Papa Bear has to be spinning in his grave. What the hell are we doing?
