I think Martz ends up in Minnesota. I just have a feeling about it. HE could do some great things with Culpepper and those young receivers.The Lions need a disciplinarian type guy to get those lazy players motivated. I don't think it would be Martz. Roy Williams needs someone to light a fire under him and get him inspired to play football. I like Martz in Minnesota.Dan Reeves, of course, in Houston since he is all ready there.Green Bay? Maybe Favre can stick around and coach.Oakland? That ax will be coming down shortly.Kansas City? I think Herm Edwards resigns in NY and comes to KC.St Louis? They will be looking for a defensive coach.There will be some college coaches heavily recruited for some of those openings too.

Detroit is supposedly going to take a look at Maurice Carthon. That would be a good hire there. Comes from the Parcells/Belichek school.

I can't argue with that point. But now that Martz is gone and a new regime will be coming in, maybe they can "clean the garbage", per say.The St-Louis Rams organization has no class .

So would every team in the league. Hes one of the better HC's in the league. He wont be a cooridnator.

agreed... he is HC material... but he needs a strong front office & personnel dept (college scouting & pro personnel), which he didn't have in STL... & he should be banned for life from picking his own DC.
he would look good in MIN... possibly in OAK, but he may have too strong a personality to co-exist with puppet master count chocula... he would work wonders in HOU... that could be a coverted gig with #1 overall choice...mad mike martz HC with new triplets... carr, reggie bush & andre johnson... plus fastest player in NFL jerome mathis as slot WR... get a free agent WR as complementary WR2... OOOWWWCCCHHH!!!
there defense is like 10 players away from being a great stop unit (they have dunta robinson to build on)... at least if they have stellar offense they might start winning some games 35-28.

With all the rumors that Culpepper was too dumb to handle Mike Tice's offense... I don't see that as a good fit.

I too think that would be a good fit, but Id be amazed if Kubiak doesnt get that job(and deservedly so).agreed... he is HC material... but he needs a strong front office & personnel dept (college scouting & pro personnel), which he didn't have in STL... & he should be banned for life from picking his own DC.

maybe you are more well read or there are some strong regional indications i am unaware of... personally, i can't think of any prospective HC slot that is that much of a slam dunk i could say i was amazed they didn't get the job.i think martz will end up SOMEWHERE... but not sure where (we can make educated guesses, which we have been doing)...

Why? So Martz can piss off Larry Johnson by giving him 14 carries a game while having Green throw a million passes a game to Sammie Parker and Eddie Kennison?

I think losing their starting QB had something to do with that. Besides, they were sucking already with Martz this year. In the long run, the Rams will be better off getting a different head coach.

I think you're right about that. I think Culpepper is one of the better real life QB's in the game, not just fantasy, but I don't think it's because of his melon.Another potential disaster with that: Martz has gotten pretty much every QB he's ever coached killed because his passing game is pretty risque. That Culpepper will start his "new career" after ripping his knee to shreds I think would be bad news.
I also don't think Martz is a strong enough personality either as others are saying in the discipline department.

I could see Martz as a Raiders' coach but there are a couple of things going on there that I see as obstacles.1) Al Davis - Their philosophies might not be far off (Al has always liked the deep passing game, Martz is a passing guru) but I see Al as a real crabby owner. He's always going to have his mitts on things and I don't see their personalities - both control freaks - meshing too well.
2) Lack of Discipline and Underachievement already on the Raiders team. The Raiders used to be a wild team that played hard. Now they have malcontents that don't. Raiders players used to be happy they were Raiders. Now the guys hate the team and get wasted because they aren't into the right mindset for winning on the field.
3) The Raiders defense. Man is it ever awful. It's not like Martz is ever going to help with that.
How about a guy like Greg Williams, DC Coordinator Redskins? Al could then handpick a young offensive guru type to be the OC.
I do like that the Raiders at least have the potential for a really good O line although I heard they weren't that good on the field this year.
