 STRONG rumors coming out of Detroit that Marinelli is really close to getting Mike Martz as the Lions O-Coord. Could be really interesting.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 Now I've heard that Martz was offered and accepted the Lions O-Coord offer and now all that is left is the contract has to be worked out.
 
 edit: CBS confirms:
 
 
 
 DETROIT -- Former Rams coach Mike Martz has been offered -- and has accepted -- the job as Detroit Lions offensive coordinator.
 
 But it’s not quite a done deal. As of mid-day Wednesday, contract terms had yet to be worked out.
 
 Martz interviewed with the Lions in Detroit on Tuesday. When he returned to St. Louis on Tuesday night, new Lions coach Rod Marinelli offered Martz the job.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 Return of the Greatest show on Turf.
 
 uh, well, IF they had a QB and RB they could count on...
 and could keep their WRs healthy and off drugs...
 and don't let Martz call the plays...
 
 Still, they have some talent on defense. Good chance Detroit will be a "surprise" playoff team next year. Unless Millen drafts another WR in the 1st round.

 Detroit was one of my two "surprise" picks for this year... they certainly surprised me. I thought that they'd win the NFC North.Originally posted by -Jrabbit

 If Martz can get Detroit humming, he should be Coach of the Year even though he's a coordinator.
 
 And IIRC, with the Rams, Martz called most of the plays, Vermeil would change it once in a while or specify a game plan.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 when mike tice gets 1.1 mil, then Martz should get at least that, having coordinated a Superbowl win and head coached a loss, and IIRC 3 straight 500 point seasons. when has tice come close to that level of achievement? Also I believe Robinson and Saunders are in the 2 mil range in DC now, which is significantly more than what Martz asked, and again, don't have the recent resume comparable to Martz.Originally posted by -Jrabbit

 Just another case of Millen not having a clue.
