Mike Martz for OC? Make it happen, Fulmer

I believe San Fransisco has already contacted him, and I believe he'd rather have a NFL Job over a College.

I can't see it. Martz and Fulmer are both control freaks. It would never work.

Fulmer doesnt need to give Martz orders,let Martz have total control over the offense and Fulmer can mind his business.

Martz is an offensive genius,how he turned John Kitna into a 4000 yard passer and Shaun McDonald into a Top 20 NFL receiver is simply amazing in itself.Just look at his work in St.Louis with the greatest show on turf

Martz had an enormous amount of talent on that Rams team. It's like Norv Turner and all the years he's milked out of the fact he could get Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin to put up tons of points behind an OL with two or three Hall of Famers on it.

Besides the fact he could never get along with Fulmer, I really think he is overrated. Also, I remember the way the season ended in his last good team with the Rams, in a playoff loss to Carolina. He had the game won and lost his nerve at the end of regulation, and wound up losing in OT.

I'd like to see that kind of offense at UT, but there are other guys who can implement it just as well.

Mike Martz is unbalanced. I think Mike Martz may one day snap and bludgeon someone with his headset.

Martz wouldn't put up with Fulmer's BS---plus, he'll make a million plus as an OC in the pros.

The clock management/decisions he made at the end of regulation/overtime in the 2003 playoff game against Carolina sealed the deal for me. No way I want Martz coming here.

How things change. Contrast that with the guy standing on the sidelines last Saturday, blandly watching the clock run down to :03, draining the very lifeblood out of his team. Emotionally, it was a terrible thing to do to his players. I have no confidence in you, he was telling them. I feel that you could screw it up. I won't let my QB throw a pass because it might get intercepted. I won't let my featured back run the ball because he might fumble.

Strategically it was loony, too, because his guys were working against a tired and demoralized Carolina defense that had just suffered through a 15-play drive and then had to take the field again because St. Louis recovered the onside kick. Four plays moved the ball 43 yards, down to the Panthers' 15. There was no pass rush, no life. This was a whipped team. The Rams didn't even have to throw, if Martz was so terrified of leaving it up to Marc Bulger. Marshall Faulk could have run the ball in. But they stood there, as the clock ticked down from 39 seconds, which was the time showing when Faulk was tackled, to 0:03. Unbelievable.

There were other weird things that Martz did in that game, plus an out-and-out screw-up, which came when most of them occur -- at the end of the first half.

This is hilarious. Some people on here sound like bammer fans. Why would an NFL OC want to come to a college program?

Mike Martz saw Jon Kitna turn into a 4000-yard passer mainly because he had Kitna throw the ball a ton more than he ever had previously.

If you didn't like some of the play calling (esp the trick plays) yesterday, you do not want Mike Martz as your OC. I do wonder what he'd doa s a head coach in college with instant replays. Thay gut threw the flag so much in St. Louis it was unreal.
