Mike Martz the no nonsense tough as nails coach who demands nothing but perfection out of his players. Is this the answer to all the Bears offensive problems? this sports writers seems to think so. Mike Martz has had a long, successful, and sometimes tumultuous history yet one thing is clear everywhere he’s coached he has caused a significant impact.

Mike Martz would be the perfect for the Bears organization and he has had a history with head coach Lovie Smith. Before Smith became head coach of the Bears he was the defensive coordinator of the St.Louis Rams under head coach Mike Martz. Martz also has a history of turning unknown quarterbacks into elite and productive quarterbacks. His no nonsense perfection demanding personality would be perfect for Bears QB Jay Cutler. Some in the NFL think Cutler is immature and is not taking full advantage of his immense potential and huge arm. Some have criticized Martz like former Rams GM Charlie Armey. “I don't think Martz would work well with Jay Cutler at all," Armey told ESPNChicago.com. "He's a terrible . . . coach, and he would ruin that kid like he ruined Kurt Warner and drove him out of St. Louis. "He's the worst thing that could happen to any young quarterback." As harsh as that criticism may be Armey fails to mention that it was Mike Martz who took the 28 year old Kurt Warner under his wing and helped him develop into an elite passer who is now a sure fire future Hall of Fame candidate.

Mike Martz was the architect and director of “THE GREATEST SHOW ON TURF” The Rams football team from 1999-2001. In the 2000 NFL season Mike Martz as offensive coordinator of the Rams led them to an NFL record 7,335 total yards with 5,492 passing yards both NFL records. However, the Rams and Kurt Warner were not the only ones who Mike Martz help to turn around. He also worked with the Lions and helped turn John Kinta from a third string back up to a NFL starter. Thanks to the help of Mike Martz John Kinta threw for 4,000 yards in 2006 and 2007 a Lions franchise record. The Lions as a team also went 7-9 in 2007 quite an accomplishment for a Lions team that would fail to win a single game the following season. John Kinta also personally states that Mike Martz would was a huge reason that he became so successful with the Lions and says he would greatly help Jay Cutler. ''That quarterback will be one of the top five quarterbacks in the league if Mike Martz goes there,'' Kinta said. ''Playing for him was a dream.'' states Kinta in an article in the Chicago Sun Times.

Martz says it like it is and is not afraid to tell the truth even if it may sound harsh and critical. Mike Martz may not be an easy guy to like nor may he be the nicest but one thing is for certain his tough attitude and personality would be a welcome addition to Halas Hall and for the Bears. It would provide a spark that the team has lacked in the three years following its 2006 Super Bowl appearance. In an off-season where the Bears have no first or second round pick in the draft; signing Mike Martz would be the best off-season move the Bears have made since…well the Jay Cutler trade. Nice guy? Maybe not. Savior of the Bears? That’s a no brainier.
