Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
BTW. SD has as bright of a future as any team in this league. A probowl QB, Great young offensive line, a future hof r/b, a terrific fb, a young very good defensive, and a stud lb in Merriman. If this were the skins, i would be very happy. They will be in it for years to come.

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
Even though I put some of the blame on Marty, I think that I should note a couple of things. Marty has put together a 14-2 record with a team that appears set to contend year in and year out for a few years. Teams don't do that without a good coach. SD would be crazy to let Marty go. I for one think that the players will be far more lethal next year if they reach the playoffs, and I expect they will. Marty will simply get to play the tape for these guys and let them see for themselves how they shot themselves in the foot. Pretty cut and dry.

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
@redsk1: i'm not so sure you should call Philip Rivers a pro bowl qb. True, he did get voted there, but he really sucked towards the end of the year, and Tomlinson carried that team.
As for Marty, he should stay. It's not his fault they lost that game. If they fire him they are basically putting themselves back at square one. If they keep him all they need is a little more playoff experience with that young team and they will be a contender for years to come. |

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
I never blamed the loss on Marty, I just simply stated that his decesions were poor and I am glad he only lasted one year here. Marty made the decesion to challenge the fumble. He also decided to not kick the field goal. Both poor decesions. Now if this is such a stupid thread then give me reasons why either of these bonehead choices by MArty was smart. These types of choices are typical of years past with him. As far as disclpined teams they have been to a point but there were way to many personal fouls by his team to discount the notion that they were not displined which is the HEAD COACHES JOB!!! Glad he only lasted one year in DC.

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
Hmmm, let me see. The Redskins are 33-47 since Marty was dumped at the end of '01. Marty is 47-34 since he left. I get to see and attend more regular season games than playoff games and would have enjoyed a 47-34 record a lot more.
The Chargers played like what they are - a tight, nervous group making their first playoff appearance in a long time, against playoff veterans. I wish we had the Chargers problems and talent here. Lay off Marty. |

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
Marty is a great coach. Proven. Not a Superbowl winner, but part of several different playoff caliber franchises. Snyder was stupid to get rid of Schotty for Spurrier, but he wanted him and went for it. Spurrier ate the money and played golf. Now Gibbs is back at Redskins Park sleeping on a cot. Marty will be back in San Diego next season. My ultimate nightmare would see the Redskins against the Chargers next year in the Superbowl. LT would run all over us with the defense we have now. Tiki used us up. What would future HOF'er LT do to us?

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
at least he gets his team into the playoffs. I dont see the skins getting into the playoffs as often as he has lately. I rather lose some playoffs games instead of making it two times in the last 14 yrs.

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
Get off Marty's back. At 14-2, he is doing something right. I'd rather be watching my team in the playoffs than figuring out who my team needs to draft.

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
Apparently ESPN PAge 2 thinks similar to me.
Read the whole article. They gave MArty his biggest choke/gag ever for the way he handled the chargers/Pats game. ESPN.com: Page 2 : The Marty Gag Factor

Re: Thank the Heavens Marty Lasted One Year
San Diego has decided to keep Marty by the way.
