Jeff Fisher vs Mike Martz the media double standard[smash mouth vs finesse] (1 Viewer)

[St. PJ]

Jeff Fisher does more with less. He can flat out coach. The record he had last year was an achievement simply because they did so without having any legit passing game whatsoever. That aside, sometimes the message gets old. Coaches have shelf life with a team. Maybe its time for Jeff to coach elsewhere, but make no mistake, he is a very good coach, and he'll only be out of a job as long as he chooses.

Mike Martz, on the other hand, is an egomaniac who refuses to design a scheme to fit the talent he has. This is what seperates guys like him from coaches like Jeff Fisher. After Tennessee's superbowl run, they went through cap purgatory and had to part with many of their star players and go to a youth movement. Fisher played to the strengths of his youth and was very competitive. Martz, after their superbowl runs, was still trying to enact the greatest show on turf everywhere he went, without the personel to do so.

Martz is just as good if not better offensive playcaller as Payton. He is, though, twice as stubborn and that's his downside.

No, he's not.

He's good, but not as good as Payton. He's notorious for getting he's QB's demolished trying to do 5 step drops all game and he's not near as well rounded of a play call as Sean.

If we lose Greg Williams in the off season (he gets a head coaching job somewhere) I'd take Jeff Fisher as our D coordinator.

Titans went 10-0 to start last season, had home field advantage and loss in the first round 13-10.

That kind of performance got Schottenheimer fired in San Diego.

The Rams had alot of the same cap problems after there super bowl and had many key free agents they couldn't keep. And they are 17-48 after Martz coached his last game there.

Look at Fisher and how long it took him to open up the offense to McNair. He only did it after he ran Eddie George into the ground by running him 350 to 400 times a year after the middle and when he took so many hits and was down to being a back who was just getting over 3 yard a carry. That is when he opened up the offense to McNair around 2002 his 6 year as a starter.

When Martz want to the Lions he was on team that had a defence that gave up over 30 pts a game and the only talent he had was at WR and a veteran QB. The Lions were dead last on defence on both 2007 and 2008 but they won 7 games with the worst defence with Martz and 0 games the next year. And in SF he took the Niners from 13 pts a game to 21 pts. That 8 pts improvement and yet he lost his job cause Singletary wants to play smash mouth football. Mike McCarthy and Norv Turner got head coaching jobs after there 1 year running the Niners O in 05 and 06 and they both had offences that were worse then the one Martz ran in 08.

both spellings are correct.

Not to me.

That how we spell it in Canada, hard to change old habbits.

Then all is forgiven. I love Canadians.
