Who do you think it'll be? I hope it is someone who brings a bruising run oriented style to the field that mixes in smart effective passing. Mike Martz has been good but he is not the right guy for SF. Frank Gore needs to be the guy who rushes for 1500 yards and scores 15 touchdowns. With Foster as the back up our RB core is solid. That paired with a good defense spells out the potential to win. Look at teams like Pittsburgh, Baltimore and the New York Giants.

    Rumor has it if the Chargers hadn't won last night Norv Turner would have been fired. But they won big, so we won't be getting him back. lol

    What about Scott Linehan or Eric Mangini?

      Yeah, I was also hoping for a Charger lost last night so we could keep that Turner rumor going. I have a feeling Singletary is going to keep all the pieces in place, so I'm almost betting that Martz will still be calling the shots and he will work under Singletary on this.

        Who knows yet what the heck will happen? It's kinda like all the "experts" predicting what will happen with our economy in '09. As for me, I'd love to see the government bail out the 49ers, so they can spend freely on whoever they want. *s*

            How long has Tribe been in existence? About as long as the Niners have sucked. This might b a first.

              Mike Martz Fired As 49ers Offensive CoordinatorSAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / AP) ―

              Former St. Louis coach Mike Martz has been fired as San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator.

              Martz was let go Tuesday by Mike Singletary, who was made the permanent head coach of the team Sunday night after going 5-4 as the interim coach.

              "After an evaluation period I felt it was best to go in a different direction," said Singletary regarding the dismissal of Martz. "This was not an easy decision because I appreciate Mike Martz, and I enjoyed working with him. He is a true professional, and I wish him the best in the future. I do recognize the need for a long term solution on the offensive side of the ball."

              Upon taking over, Singletary had benched J.T. O'Sullivan, Martz's chosen quarterback, and installed Shaun Hill at the position.

              The 57-year-old Martz coached the Rams from 2000-2005, taking a medical leave after five games in his final season because of heart problems.

              He coached the Rams to the 2002 Super Bowl and was the offensive coordinator of the St. Louis team that won the 2000 title with "The Greatest Show On Turf."

              He was offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions in 2006-2007.

                Well so much for Martz & Singletary working together next season!

                  It probably came down to the fact that Martz was not going to be coaching Offense for more then a season or two. He was auditioning for a head coach's job. Whether he was the best coach for next year is one question, but for the sake of continuity, a longer term coach might better serve,
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.

                    Yeah but now the 49ers will have their 7th OC in as many years. Kinda hard to move forward when your OC changes every season.

                    I saw that Shanahan got fired by the Broncos. I thought for a moment that maybe we could get him back as OC, until I then realized at least three other teams would love to have him as head guy. *g*
