[Terry Bradshaw] He expects Mike Martz to coach Houston next season

[countingcrow]

Just heard it on the pre-game show...

Not sure what to think...

[DieHard Rocket]

Me neither.

I don't like Martz overall as a coach...I think it's because I don't really care for primarily offensive minded coaches. But Martz you know would focus on getting this offense (especially O-line) on track. I'd love him at offensive coordinator, but let's see what other options are out there at head coach.

[ron413]

Sounds like a plan. Hope Coach Martz has a relaxing few months and his health recovers to a level where he can work in the NFL for years to come.

Think "YAY NO MORE DOM!" I'll take anyone right now. If we're going to lose, I'd rather have an offensive coach making it fun to watch.

[today]

Please no. Martz is a terrible coach, even a good number of St. Louis fans don't like him.

There's got to be a better option.

[MadMax]

i seriously doubt it. doesn't seem like a guy McNair would want. and i'm not sure his health will allow him to coach next season. we'll see. but i'd be very surprised.

[DonnyMost]

Terry Bradshaw is a stark raving lunatic.

[v3.0]

Terry is just making a very convenient comment to make, not a lot of research or knowledge went into that. He spent about 2 seconds on that thought.

I hope Bob Mcnair isn't listening to that guy or the media when he makes his decision but it wouldn't surprise me.

[Rocket River]

I agree

He inherited a winner. . . .not built one

Jimmy Johnson

[JamesC]

I dont think his job is in danger but I wish the Texans could get Herm Edwards.

[Hakeem06]

i would rather have capers over that underacheiving, overrated, asshole...and i know he's going through some serious medical problems and i wish him the best, but that doesn't mean what i said about him isn't true.

[nWo34Life]

Anyone other than Capers. If it's Martz, hopefully he'll turn the team around and point them in the right direction.

[DallasThomas]

Fox football pregame people have no minds. Thusly, you should pay them none.

Not only were they a winner but a Super Bowl champion with more talent than any team in the league. He drove them straight into the ground. He's the absolute worst coach in the NFL. Players don't like him nor do they respect them. He has horrible game strategy and clock management. He has the people skills an charisma of Jimy Williams. He should be the coach for Bill Bidwell. Our owner is smarter than that by a long shot.

Jimmie Johnson or bring Bill Walsh out of semi-retirement to build a champion.

[HayesStreet]

Costas said the same thing about Martz/Texans with Peter King on Inside the NFL.

[rocks_fan]

I hope Bob Mcnair isn't listening to that guy or the media when he makes his decision but it wouldn't surprise me.

Yeah McNair's gonna listen to Terry freakin' Bradshaw when it comes to his $700 million+ investment.

I'm not a huge Martz fan, but at least we know he'd kick the offense into gear (at least more than it is now). Shoot, can't get much worse than the offense we have now.

[nigma2000]

I'd take a Texan cheerleader as the head coach at this point instead of capers.

[Saint Louis]

Let me just say, Martz is the NFL version of John Jenkins. I suppose as a bad as things are at Reliant, Martz may seem like an approvement.

"Thusly" is not a word, thus I do not understand the content of your message. :)

[ROCKSS]

I dont see it. IMHO Martz isnt the guy for the job and I hope Mcnair and company dont do it

[Svpernaut]

Martz would not be a good fit for Houston... he's like a Dom version 2.0. Gary Kubiak all the way.

[Austin70]

Exactly, we need Kubiak.

[ima_drummer2k]

Kubiak is the man. Carr could do wonders in that Denver offense. Jake the Snake is having a career year and Carr has a lot more upside than him. And think about DD. I think I could rush for 1,000 yards in that offense. AJ would be the next Rod Smith.

The best thing is that you know Kubiak would make the O-line the first priority. He's smart enough to know that everything revolves around the O-line. Look at the line he's had in Denver the last 10 years.

[gucci888]

Never really liked Martz as a coach, but any change might be an upgrade from Dom.

Let's bring Jeff Fisher back to Houston!!!

[Groogrux]

Here's (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5039612) why we don't want Martz:

No Torry Holt. No Marc Bulger. No Isaac Bruce. No problem. Rams interim coach Joe Vitt smartly was the anti-Mike Martz, banging Steven Jackson all day long against the Jaguars in a 24-21 victory. Jackson shoved the ball down Jacksonville's throat for 179 rushing yards. The second-year back also rumbled into the end zone after receiving a Jaime Martin pass for the go-ahead score. This is the type of gutty, overachieving, pound-it-out win the Rams didn't get with Martz. This is an example why another organization should stay clear of interviewing Martz when he is let go at the end of the season. For St. Louis to be 4-4 with all of its injuries and drama is flat-out impressive.

[HayesStreet]

I think the most important thing for the Texans future is saving Carr. Martz's system would do that easily. Warner was a nobody as was Bulger before they played in his system. Martin continues to perform well in his second stint replacing Bulger in the system, even without Holt, Bruce et al. IMO it is much easier to rebuild a defense in a short amount of time, so let him fix the offense first. If he does and our defense sucks then you can fire him and bring in a defensive coach ala Dungy's move to Indy. Whether or not you feel there are holes in Martz's coaching, he'd at least make us a playoff team with an explosive offense (Carr, Davis, and Johnson are plenty for him to work with).

[OldManBernie]

I don't see Martz getting a head coach job anywhere considering his health and his underachieving teams. I'd love to have him as an offensive coordinator though.

[Luckyazn]

I dont like Martz either but at least he'll make the team's offensive more fun to watch than

run 1st down
run 2nd down
sack 3rd down
punt 4th down

system under Dom

[Toast]

Terrible.

The only thing this offense has going for it is the running game. Martz abandons the running game in the middle of the first quarter.

[jopatmc]

Yeah, well here's Martz's system with our current team.

sack 1st down
sack 2nd down
interception 3rd down

or the alternate

sack 1st down
sack and fumble 2nd down
burn 2 timeouts on the first posession of each half
burn up all timeouts before the 2 minute warning

sack
fumble
interception
run out of time

He's the worst coach in the NFL.

[PhiSlammaJamma]

I don't like Martz either, poor choice, although I agree we need a Jack Pardee like system to rejuvenate the team. There's no hope here anymore. And you gotta have that.
