R2P2: That's the Martyball way!

sorry for the thread jack but this needs to be shared

Martyball in the South. Mmhmm.

It's an improvement over getting embarrassed on a weekly basis and ending the season as probably the worst team in the NFL.

It's time for a Constitutional amendment forever barring Marty Schottenheimer, Norv Turner, and Wade Phillips from holding NFL head coaching jobs ever again.

I mean, come ON.

San Diego would kill for the chance to lose in the playoffs again.

Luckily they have Josh "this kid has really got it, just wait and see, the kid just wins" Freeman to build around.

It's nice to go for experience but failure is an experience.

What a cast of coaching geniuses: Marty Schottenheimer, Brad Childress, Mike Sherman, and Wade Phillips -- it's like having the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse show up to the head coach interviews.

FTFA: The Bucs' leading candidate has appeared to be former Packers coach Mike Sherman. The team is interviewing former Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress on Monday and will interview Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips on Friday.

Looks like the Bucs are just going with the "We'll interview guys we've heard of on TV" hiring heuristic.

What, is Leeman Bennett dead or something?

I guess Rich Kotite isn't available either.

Bucs are in The Spiral Of Doom, no hope for them absent change in ownership

The Falcons are okay with just making the playoffs.

like a creamscicle through your heart. Go Bucs

I like how after playing a respectable game against the Packers is right when they seemed to say "aw f*ck it, let'shiat the links early this year" and really mailed it in.

Coming soon to Hollywood, summer 2012:

Major League Football, the story of a major league football team, called the St. Petersburg Pirates. Owned by people who would rather focus on their cricket teams, they decide to intentionally throw the team under the bus so they can cancel their lease and relocate the team to New Delhi.

They start by intentionally hiring aging veterans who are past their prime, a coach who hasn't won a season in 20 years. Then they go out and find a free agent who had just gotten out of prison for spaying dogs without a license to play quarterback, as well as a wide receiver who was in his prime before an unfortunate incident at a bar where he someone decided to chop firewood and almost cut his own leg off.

When the players learn that the owner is trying to lose games intentionally, they gather together and concoct their own plan to get into the playoffs, which means they have to go through the Parish of De Soto, where the De Soto Devils play. The De Soto Devils have won the division for six years straight all behind the play of their quarterback, Brewster Dreesus. Can the Pirates do it? Can they get to 8-8 and win the division?

Yea, I can get behind this one.

He'll be the Roony Rule interview.

Just don't pick Wade. Please? He's far too valuable in his current position

HaywoodJablonski: Just don't pick Wade. Please? He's far too valuable in his current position

Bingo. Wade is, and really always has been, an excellent defensive coordinator.

Conversely, Wade is, and really always has been, a marginal to outright-bad head coach.

Wade's underrated. He took the Bills to the playoffs, after all. No one's achieved that since.

Yeah, but that was 10+ years ago. He's won one playoff game in six tries (granted, one of those losses was the Music City Miracle, which is a total crotch-kick way to lose a game) and rarely if ever seems to get the best out of his players. Wade's greatest successes have come as a coordinator, and that's what he should remain.

Hey, that's one more than Mike Smith.

Seeing Marty coach again would actually be okay with me.

I agree with you that he's a kick-ass coordinator, I'm just friends with a lot of Bills fans, and enjoy reminding them that the Wade Phillips Era was their last period of glory.

If I'm on top of my game, I can usually get them to start drinking before 10 AM.

It helps that I'm a Titans fan, and so I get real happy when talking- in elaborate detail- about the Music City Miracle.

And he finally won a championship!

/sure it was the UFL and only because the league pretty much went under so they just stopped the season and had a title game
 
2012-01-09 06:36:23 PM
They just fished the body of the Packers offensive coordinators son out of the river. New York will do anything to win.

I liked Marty. I still think firing him was Dan Snyder's biggest mistake as Redskins owner, and Lord knows there's plenty to choose from.

Agreed on Wade and Norv, but the last two times Marty has coached a pro team the GM/owner has given Marty the screwjob. He's a good coach and a team-builder, it's just he keeps getting shafted by management (or John Elway).
 
2012-01-09 07:19:23 PM
As a Bills fan I'd be thrilled if "just making the playoffs" was good enough.
 
2012-01-09 07:19:46 PM
Holy shiat. I think I went back in time by 15 years when people thought Marty could win in the playoffs. It is still better than Phillips or the creepy guy from the Vikings.

What a perfect coach for a young team with a gunslinging, canon arm, mobile QB in a league where 3 guys just went for 5000+ yards. And hell, Brian will probably be looking for a job soon, bring him in as OC!
 
2012-01-09 07:42:43 PM
As a lifetime Bucs fan, I am alright with this. They are currently worse than I can ever recall, and it is mostly because of the owners terrible investments, and buying of Manchester U. The city has turned on them, so hopefully they will bring in some big free agents along with the new coach, whoever it is.

Right, because it's not like Marty ever had a good qb at San Diego.

Please tell me you didn't just say that Josh Freeman was in the same quality of player as Drew Brees or Tom Brady or even Matt Stafford.

They can have Atlanta's perennial playoff spot, although Carolina may have a say in that. NFC South is going to be brutal if Tampa can pull it together.

Marty will take them to the playoffs. And the NFC South is about to become the best division in football (if Carolina drafts some defense).
