Coach catchup is where I get everybody caught up on whats going on in the world of coaching updates.
The lions firing of Mike Martz, and promotion of offensive lines coach Jim Colletto, raises some questions. Questions like why? Mike Martz didn’t do a great job producing a running game, but that was because when he did run the ball, he did it ten times in a row. You’re not going to fool a defense when by the 7th time in a row, they pretty much know what you’re going to do. I will say this though. this year the lions offense played the best they have since Barry Sanders. The offense wasn’t the reason that the Lions were awful. For instance, the Lions offensive line didn’t block at all this year. So why does the offensive line coach get Mike Martz’s job? Also the defense did not tackle. So what I am saying is Mike Martz will get a job somewhere else, and wherever he goes, that teams offense will eat us alive. in this case Martz gets the last laugh, and the lions will even more be the laughing stock of the NFL.
Our other Coaching update is the on going saga of is Dungy coming back? Well that question is finally over. after talking it over with his family, and pondering retirement on his own, Tony Dungy is coming back for another year as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Dungy led the Colts to a superbowl win last year, becoming the first black coach to get a superbowl ring. With Dungy by their side, the Colts will remain a team to be reckoned with in the following year.
