View Full Version : Chiefs Why I want Mike Martz to be the Chiefs next HC

My reasoning:

1) For all the talk that Martz is a bad coach, he has a 53-32 record as a head coach, and a 3-4 career playoff record. Gregg Williams has a 17-31 career head coaching record. It would be hard pressed to find any prospective coach who is going to be available this offseason (and I still think Fisher stays in Tennessee) with the NFL head coaching record that Martz has.

2) Martz would keep the basis of the Chiefs' current successful offensive system in place and would probably enhance the passing game by upgrading the WR position, making the Chiefs passing game more explosive. Also Martz and Trent Green have a history together and a positive relationship, which is important considering Trent will probably be the Chiefs starting QB for another 2 seasons at least IMO.

3) Martz has a proven track record of developing QBs (see Trent Green, which goes back to his days in Washington, Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger) and would be able to develop a young QB to eventually replace Trent Green.

4) All the gushing over Gregg Williams, people are forgetting how horrible he was as a head coach in Buffalo. That 3rd year where he had the players in place on defense that he had wanted, the Bills completely fell apart, finishing 6-10. All he's proven in Washington is that he's a good defensive coordinator, but nothing that would suggest he would be a better head coach if he were given a second chance.

5) Looking at college ranks, really no one stands out to me. I don't think Carroll will leave USC this offseason and I don't think Stoops would make a good NFL head coach (especially considering he is overrated as a college coach, see how Pete Caroll and Nick Saban toyed with and humiliated him in the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl the past 2 years). Not to mention, also that Stoops has zero NFL coaching experience.

6) I think Martz could be a guy who helps turn around the Chiefs defense. After his first year as head coach of the Rams, he led the Rams focus that offseason towards dramatically improving their defense, and he hired Lovie Smith to be DC. The following season the Rams finished in the top 10 in total defense and allowed 200 less points that season than they did the season before (second most dramatic improvement in NFL history). I'm not arguing that Martz was the main reason behind that improvement and I'm sure Lovie Smith was probably the main reason why, but Martz was the one who hired Lovie Smith and Martz led the initiative to dramatically improve the Rams defense that offseason.

I don't think he's an awful coach, but he doesn't protect the QB very well, he has to keep developing them because he kills them all off, he ruined Kurt Warner... and he doesn't run the ball. LJ would be having a fit in the media every week when he only got 15 carries.

I'd like Martz actually. Of all the prospects people have mentioned he's probably the best.
I don't like how little he runs the ball but I honestly think that with this line + LJ every coach you hire is going to pound the rock.

He "sat" Faulk because Faulk has been hampered by injuries since that 2002 Super Bowl.

And since going to the Super Bowl he has been to the playoffs twice, including a playoff win last year in Seattle.

That would be more playoff wins than the Chiefs have had the past decade and more playoff wins/appearances than Gregg Williams EVER had as a head coach.

so that's the reason he should be here. And you're wrong about the injuries to Faulk. He had one injury and Martz used that against him as a way to show off his passing game.

Since then, the team has drafted defensive players and tried everything to get him the talent he needs and he cannot win with them.

1 Playoff game won doesn't make him a great coach.

I'm not buying it, and I son't want Gregggg Williams either, they both suck ass at the head coaching position

Faulk hasn't been able to play in more than 14 games in a season (including only 11 games in 2003) since the '99-'00 season. So I wouldn't say that is just one injury.

And Martz as a head coach has been to 7 playoff games, with 3 playoff wins and a Super Bowl appearance.

Is there another head coaching possibility that is realistically going to be available this offseason with that proven NFL track record as a head coach?

Not Gregg Williams
Not Bob Stoops
Not Pete Carroll
Not Al Saunders

Martz has that record because of talent on the field, not because of his talent on the sideline..... this is like Carl Peterson a week ago telling us that "any team's realistic expectation at the beginning of the season is to have a chance at a playoff birth going into the last week of the season"...... um, no. A good regular season record isn't always good enough. The Rams had a lot more potential than 1 SB win (as hard as that is to say).

He's a terrible head coach with a 53-32 career record, including 3 playoff wins and a Super Bowl appearance? If a guy is a "terrible head coach" in your opinion with those credentials, what kind of head coach would that make Gregg Williams who has a 17-31 career record with no playoff wins or appearances.

If Martz is so great, why couldn't he maintain the status quo, with a good team in place from the day he took over?

He's an imbecile. He had a fumble and interception prone QB so he runs min-protect, 5-wide formations. He's got a nice running back- that is getting the ball 15 times a game. He mismanages the clock, his personnel currently comprise one of a handful of teams giving up more YPG than the Chiefs, he scapegoats and alienates players, and he's currently waging a proxy war in the media against the organization that still employs him.

Not to mention the kooky play calling that most of us have had enough of already. Earlier this year they showed a play on sportcenter where he called a reverse on third and short. I listened to a Rams fan here at work after another game complain that when the team was getting blown out with a few minutes to go, Bulger was still in and Jackson was playing with a fracture in his sternum.

You are comparing Marv Levy to Gregg Williams? ROFL

The Chiefs improved each year under Levy until that final season that was derailed by the players' strike.

Gregg Williams in his third season in Buffalo after an offseason in which Buffalo was aggressive in upgrading their defense, and went into that season with Super Bowl aspirations, went 6-10. He never had a winning record as head coach.

Yes, I am drawing that comparison.

People blame Williams for that season, but fail to remember that Bledsoe was his QB, and he was protected by a crappy O-Line, with a couple of injuries, and couple of high picks that never lived up to expectations.

They complain that he got conservative, and that cost them.

But he had no friggen' choice.

That conservative label was placed on Levy, and it led to that poor record in a strike shortened season.

Like Williams in Buffalo, Levy's conservative approach was dictated by terrible offensive talent.

It would be hard pressed to find any prospective coach who is going to be available this offseason (and I still think Fisher stays in Tennessee) with the NFL head coaching record that Martz has.

2) Martz would keep the basis of the Chiefs' current successful offensive system in place and would probably enhance the passing game by upgrading the WR position, making the Chiefs passing game more explosive. Also Martz and Trent Green have a history together and a positive relationship, which is important considering Trent will probably be the Chiefs starting QB for another 2 seasons at least IMO.

3) Martz has a proven track record of developing QBs (see Trent Green, which goes back to his days in Washington, Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger) and would be able to develop a young QB to eventually replace Trent Green.

5) Looking at college ranks, really no one stands out to me. I don't think Carroll will leave USC this offseason and I don't think Stoops would make a good NFL head coach (especially considering he is overrated as a college coach, see how Pete Caroll and Nick Saban toyed with and humiliated him in the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl the past 2 years). Not to mention, also that Stoops has zero NFL coaching experience.

6) I think Martz could be a guy who helps turn around the Chiefs defense. After his first year as head coach of the Rams, he led the Rams focus that offseason towards dramatically improving their defense, and he hired Lovie Smith to be DC. The following season the Rams finished in the top 10 in total defense and allowed 200 less points that season than they did the season before (second most dramatic improvement in NFL history).

Talk about revisionist history.

Its not like Williams inherited Bledsoe in Buffalo, he was the coach when they traded for him, so getting Bledsoe was partly his decision. Also that offensive line anchored by the high picks you allude to, well again he was the head coach when picks such as Mike Williams were made... doesn't Williams get any blame there?

And the "terrible" offensive talent you talk about... do you remember the Bills back in 2002, Williams' second season as head coach? They were one of the best offenses, especially passing offenses in the league. Bledsoe had over 4000 yards passing, etc.

And there it is right there.

With a healthy O-Line, Bledsoe was able to put up some numbers.

With a banged up O-Line, Bledsoe and that offense couldn't get it done.

Bledsoe was a bad decision on his part, I'll grant you.

But then there's a chance he learned something.

Also Martz and Trent Green have a history together and a positive relationship, which is important considering Trent will probably be the Chiefs starting QB for another 2 seasons at least IMO.

3) Martz has a proven track record of developing QBs (see Trent Green, which goes back to his days in Washington, Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger) and would be able to develop a young QB to eventually replace Trent Green.

4) All the gushing over Gregg Williams, people are forgetting how horrible he was as a head coach in Buffalo. That 3rd year where he had the players in place on defense that he had wanted, the Bills completely fell apart, finishing 6-10. All he's proven in Washington is that he's a good defensive coordinator, but nothing that would suggest he would be a better head coach if he were given a second chance.

5) Looking at college ranks, really no one stands out to me. I don't think Carroll will leave USC this offseason and I don't think Stoops would make a good NFL head coach (especially considering he is overrated as a college coach, see how Pete Caroll and Nick Saban toyed with and humiliated him in the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl the past 2 years). Not to mention, also that Stoops has zero NFL coaching experience.

6) I think Martz could be a guy who helps turn around the Chiefs defense. After his first year as head coach of the Rams, he led the Rams focus that offseason towards dramatically improving their defense, and he hired Lovie Smith to be DC. The following season the Rams finished in the top 10 in total defense and allowed 200 less points that season than they did the season before (second most dramatic improvement in NFL history). I'm not arguing that Martz was the main reason behind that improvement and I'm sure Lovie Smith was probably the main reason why, but Martz was the one who hired Lovie Smith and Martz led the initiative to dramatically improve the Rams defense that offseason.

My reasoning:

1) For all the talk that Martz is a bad coach, he has a 53-32 record as a head coach, and a 3-4 career playoff record. Gregg Williams has a 17-31 career head coaching record. It would be hard pressed to find any prospective coach who is going to be available this offseason (and I still think Fisher stays in Tennessee) with the NFL head coaching record that Martz has..
Etc.. etc.

No, no and no.
I felt the same way about Dick and I feel the same way about Martz. I won't say that they're bad coaches. Both are good to excellent. But Martz will fail to address the defense the same way Dick did. The Chiefs do not need anymore "greatest show on turf" mentality.

Faulk hasn't been able to play in more than 14 games in a season (including only 11 games in 2003) since the '99-'00 season. So I wouldn't say that is just one injury.

And Martz as a head coach has been to 7 playoff games, with 3 playoff wins and a Super Bowl appearance.

Is there another head coaching possibility that is realistically going to be available this offseason with that proven NFL track record as a head coach?

Not Gregg Williams
Not Bob Stoops
Not Pete Carroll
Not Al Saunders


Obviously we disagree, that's cool. Just remember though, Martz prefers passing and we happen to have 2 of the top 5-7 RB's in the NFL on our team. We saw him shut down his own running game (Marshall or not) for his passing game and dare anyone to say anything and hasn't won a playoff game since that time.

Yeah, I wasn't upset at all about Gun's departure, but I was adamantly opposed to hiring Dick.

I was on the Marv Lewis bandwagon.

He will?

Martz was the one who brought Lovie Smith to St Louie to turn around the defense. They then went to a Super Bowl.

For a long term goal it's not that bad of an idea, you draft your QB, Martz develops him for say 3 years then you move onto another coach while you put better talent on your team.

He kinda ran off the fumes from Vermeil's team for awhile until it didn't work. Then he built up the Detroit offense, and now it looks like he's doing a great job in SanFran with O'Sullivan. I just don't know what he presents as a head coach though

He got them back to a Super Bowl.

After the 2000 season, he recognized they were not going to win anything without a defense, so he brought in Lovie Smith.

After the 2000 season, he recognized they were not going to win anything without a defense, so he brought in Lovie Smith.Because the defense fell apart in 2000, and the Rams became successful again once they got their D back under Smith. I don't really know if that team was better than Vermeil's 1999 team. One, Vermeil's team actually won it. Two, the 2001 team had been in that offense for 3 seasons now. They were bound to be more successful.

That 2001 team is one of the best football teams I've ever seen. You could make a pretty strong case that they, along with the 2007 Patriots are among the 10-15 best teams of all time, even if they didn't win the Super Bowl.
