My first post here. And I promise you'll never see me going low-brow and criticize without backing it up. This is YOUR home and I'm a guest...and will act accordingly. O' TAY?
My opinion: As a Saints' fan, I've seen coaches in the varying stages of 'losing' their minds. Some of you are familiar with Mora's 'Diddly-poo' tirade and 'Shoulda coulda woulda.' And there was three years of the Ditka Era (Error is more appropriate).
I felt Martz' performance in that press conference was in line with the forementioned ones. It was indicative of a coach who is working his hiney off...long hours, tons of pressure, bad personnel decisions...and it's getting to him. He was and is a great coordinator, but upon Vermeil's hasty departure, the HC job and essentially the GM job got thrust upon him and Martz wasn't ready for all of these additions to his job title.
The Rams' future success, in my opinion, depends upon hiring a real personnel guy and lessening Martz' burden.
