Mike Martz retires

Recommended Posts

Former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz is retiring from coaching.

Martz contacted me Monday to confirm that he is ending his distinguished coaching career in order to focus on other opportunities.

Martz, a former head coach and long-time offensive coordinator, won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams as an offensive coordinator. He is famous for his innovative schemes and for orchestrating "The Greatest Show on Turf" offense while in St. Louis.

Martz spent the past two seasons running Chicago's offense -- reaching the NFC Championship Game in 2010. Martz turned down a contract extension earlier in 2011 and resigned from the Bears following the season, citing "philosophical differences."

In five years as the Rams' head coach, Martz compiled a 53-32 record.

last time he was unemployed teams weren't exactly chasing after him. i can't remember how long it was before he got a call for an interview.

i do remember some reporters talking to him about his job situation and lack of interest and he gave a "no comment".

his performance in chi-town didn't really do anything to show he's still got it either.

the dude made his offenses too complicated and now have become incredibly archaic.

he's retiring because he sees the writing on the wall.

no one wants him.

The guy was innovative, you have to give him credit for that. And his offensive system worked, as long as you had a new Pro Bowl QB to plug in every year, because his system killed QB's.

He would probably still get offers except he is known as being a bit of a d!ck.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
