I like marty, good memories of him as a coach. I was much younger then but watching him at washington and SD I seem to have the overall feeling that he's a teacher more than a coach. He has many years of good football knowledge and he's never been at that next level in mangement. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't be successful at it.

No, it doesn't prove that he'd be teh suck. However, I'd much prefer someone who's younger, has experience in management (ie. Dir of Football Operations, Dir of Pro Personnel, Dir of Scouting Operations) and comes from an organization with a strong track record of building through the draft and making smart free agent acquisitions/retentions.

trying to recall those good'ol days - didn't carl and marty butt heads alot about how to run the chiefs? I know he butted heads with the other two. Could it be he has enough knowledge in football operations to make that step and still be able to "not forget where he came from"?

another point of view. Being in the service as an enlisted guy, I have an Leutenant and a company comander that I have more army experience than. but because I haven't gone to Officer Canditate School, any officer would say "he's just an enlisted sgt./he doesn't know what it takes to be an officer".

And let me also tell you, also as an enlisted guy; I have alot more respect in the officers that started out enlisted and moved up a few levels before making the change, than I do the recent college grad that had family money and could get the degree to go straight into being a commissioned officer with zero army experience.

Yes - and it is believed that Marty grasped more control in the 1997-1998 offseason in which he proceeded to 'thug up' the team, have huge preseason expectations (this was the year Fatlock predicted 16-0), crash and burn to an 7-9 season including the Monday Night Meltdown and subsequently resign.
