[hurdleisu24]

Chicago Sun-Times - A source close to Mike Martz says that he could be the next offensive coordinator of the Bears.

Martz, who was most recently the offensive coordinator of the 49ers in 2008, was the architect of The Greatest Show on Turf in St. Louis.

"Martz would love to work with Jay Cutler," said the source.

Chicago is struggling, but coach Lovie Smith is expected to stay. However, Turner could be on his way out

If Lovie can't get Turner to run the ball how will he get Martz?

This would be a great hire, I think. The Bears have had to most vanilla offensive coordinators for as long as I can remember.

If the bears were smart they would pay the guy as much as they can because I think I am more qualified to run an offense then turner

Anyone but Ron Turner, or Shoop. Turner has to get fired this year. The Bears go through all the trouble to get Cutler and the offense is worse than last year. Turner, and probably another assistant are getting fired.

Turner is a recycled OC that needs to find another way to spend Sunday. He is average at best and would be better served as a college O-line coach. He couldn't do anything at Illinois either.

To be fair, he did take them to the Sugar Bowl.

As I recall the D to them to the Super Bowl and the O was invited along. That offence was bad - with the exception of Thomas Jones. I can't think of too many games the O won for them. They simple made sure they didn't lose the game.

My problem with Turner is there is no orginality - He plays old school straight up football. When you have a great line and a great back it might work. There is just too much speed in the NFL now not to have more creativity.

Turner needs to go!

close in spelling tho, so i dont blame u

I'm not saying they should keep him, just that they had at least one good year...of course Zook could say he took them to the Rose, but the rest has been bad (although they really didn't deserve to go that year). I think Lovie could even be out after this year depending on how they finish.
