Cannibal,
Its easy for MANY chief fans to blame players/coaches who are no longer with the organization. You try pointing out to them that he had Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac, Dave Krieg, Lake Dawson, Brett Periman, Sean LaChappel, Jonathan Hayes, Derrick Walker, Chris Penn, Harvey Williams, and Greg Hill as his main group of offensive players during his tenure. Not exactly a who's who list of hall of famers here. IMO, this is a bunch of dog shit crap when it comes to moving the ball and scoring some points. Marty was a miracle worker. HE is the one who turned around the KC Chiefs. Sure, Carl hired him and drafted DT, that certainly helps. But there arent many coaches out there that could get the Chiefs to the playoffs year in and year out with that sorry group of castoffs.
Fans that think differently simply dont understand the game.
If it was Marty's fault for Elliott missing all those field goals, then whos fault is it for the piss poor kicking game the Chiefs have had since his departure??? Kickers are point makers/field position makers. Its one of the most important positions on the team. Carl has given it as much thought as who the waterboy is.
If the Packers cant win the Super Bowl this year, I am hoping the Redskins do and finally put to rest this assisnine argument about Marty's coaching ability.
It takes talent, first and foremost, to win super bowls. Holmgren is a great coach, but you think the Packers win the super bowl with Bono instead of Favre and with Brenston Buckner instead of Reggie White?
