Bring Back Mike Martz!

I've been a Rams fan since the 1996 season. At that time, the Rams were disgusting, but I was too young to care. I liked to watch them play and Issac Bruce was like Calvin Johnson of today for the Lions. Mike Martz was a part of the Rams organization for a while, after being a quarterback coach for the Skins for two seasons. He was named OC for the Rams in 1999. Everything changed, right time, right place, but Martz had a hand in molding "The Greatest Show On Turf." After Coach Vermiel left in '99, Martz took over, and under him, the Rams only missed the playoffs once. They made it to the postseason in 2000, the Super Bowl in '01, No. 2 seed in the NFC in '03, and back to the playoffs at 8-8 in '04, when the 8-8 Vikings also made it in, getting the Rams a Wild Card win over Seattle. In the 2005 season, Martz suffered heart problems. He was 2-2 in the games he coached, but he was fired at the end of the season when management refused to let him back in once he was healthy.
