Martz Fired
Niner Pundit | Dec 30, 2008 | 154 comments
Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the 49ers have decided not to retain offensive coordinator Mike Martz. According to earlier reports, Mike Singletary wanted to retain Martz, but several members of the front office (including Scot McCloughan) didn’t, and followed through today.
This is a bad move on the front offices part. They better bring in someone who has serious qualities at the OC position. Hopefully the offense doesn’t do like the Rams and Lions did after Martz left there…
As far as a replacement goes Jay Glazer is reporting that former Rams head coach Scott Linehan has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Martz.

Everyone needs to wake up the forty niners are not going to draft a QB (unless by some freak chance ...
nice list, Myron Rolle(S) im also hoping for. "STEAL OF THE DRAFT". 
I think Donaven or the Qb we will draft with our first pic should have that protection but I feel ...
Axe… Good point. No more high draft project QBs. We can find one in the later rounds.
AXEGRINDER….McCoy i would hope wouldnt be picked in the top 10 by us…. I agree an I like McCoy and feel he will be a good NFL QB, if put into the right situation….McCoy will need to go to a team where he can sit and learn for a year or so…..That was what i was hopeing for him until all the Heisman talk. I wanted him in the 2nd round or so….. But there are some good QB’s we can pick up in the later rounds…..Painter from Purdue, beauty about taking a later round QB lower cost and can sit an learn!
I hope Stafford gets picked ASAP before #10. I don’t want him to enter Singletary’s mind at all. Better to get him out of the way. I’m not sold on him. Next year should be a better year to go after a stud premier prospect if our mid-round QB doesn’t pan out. Too many holes that need to be filled this year. Hill or our FA VET stop gap QB can carry us through next year & challenge for the playoffs. We might have a shot at Bradford if he stays. For next year I like Bradford or Sanchez. Sanchez needs more work & polish but is tough, smart, & a good leader w/a good arm.
Hey West the only thing that gets me about your boy Colt is he looks like he’s 16 years old. Can NFL grown men buy into him? That’s my only knock on the guy. Where in the bay area are you at?
I heard Nate Davis looked bad last night. Even before that I was starting to get my doubts about him. I’d give a 3rd rounder for him. The whole key to our QB problems is getting some smart Coaches in here who know QB’s & how to develop them. For us it will be the new OC & whoever he picks as his QB coach. This will be absolutely crucial.
Medford, I think the only reason why they hired Robinson is because the guy who brought him in used to work with him. Another reason is his bay area ties. I agree though, he’s no Joe Starkey. “What a bonanza!” is classic. Gonna miss him.
