No one that I knew of was calling for Marty's head, even after the 1998 season.

I remember the very first thing he said was along the lines of "There is no problem in my marriage with my wife". Probably shouldn't have led with that. That's akin to vailpass saying "I'm not a racist, BUT...."

I also think that the majority of the credit for those years should go to Marty, too. Look at what happened to the team once he left town... Quote:
Like I said earlier though, Carl deserves all the credit for getting a legit coach like Marty just like he deserves the grief for his failures. You guys know this better than I do, who was the shot caller on the whole Grbac/Gannon deal? IMO that team would have won some really big games if we had went with Gannon at that point in time and from my recollection it was Carl that made that call because of the money he paid to Elvis. Sound familiar? |

Football has evolved. Ultimately, Carl couldn't finish the job. He was really ****ing good, exactly what the city/team needed at the time, but he wasn't great. We desperately need to find great now, though, since Pioli has ****ed the shit out of the franchise and city. |

If '98 wasn't the year, it sure as hell was when Gun was fired, but that would have required proactive ownership. |

I also understand why he fired Gunther when Vermeil, his best friend and mentor, decided he wanted to coach again. But the bottom line, to me, is that Carl should have left when Vermeil called it quits. He seriously tarnished his reputation by not leaving and hiring Herm. If he had left after the 2005, I'm sure his tenure would be looked upon far more favorably. |
