seriously thats just lame nobody is trying to sabatoge I seen nothing but heart from our boys last night and yeah Hill tryed to force some plays but hell we need to force some wins!

I think Singeltary is awesome and I hope we keep him next year but if not then somebody in management has to throw the house and Bill Cower to come aboard. Martz is a duche for sending in Robinson instead of Gore I mean PAH LEEZ who’s smoking what out there?

Go 9ers

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of Martz or a fan of JT O’Sullivan.

The claim made is wrong. Martz is not trying to sabotage the team. He is, however, undermining the team’s best efforts.

He wants to be seen as a groomer of QBs, he wants a head coaching job, and he is greedy. He’s had some terrible calls of making JTO throw the ball while in the red zone in spite of Gore averaging over four yards a carry (see the Saints game). He refuses to learn from his mistakes and he really does put his ego ahead of the team.

He’s not trying to undermine Shaun Hill, but his calling for the Robinson run was questionable at best.

We’ve seen a lot of fighting between Singletary and Martz and I like it. I was never a fan of Nolan bending over and taking it from Martz and I’m glad to see our head coach stand up for what he thinks is right.

I’m very encouraged by what we saw last night from Hill and I am looking forward to the Rams game.

well said piece

People who really allow themselves to believe something this absurd aren’t worth arguing with.

An NFL coach is never going to intentionally sabotage his own team’s efforts for any reason…let alone out of something as childish as bitterness over a missed promotion, the benching of an awful player, or disagreements in game management. If you really think that Martz would throw away a game to make a statement, then you grow the f*** up and take some time to learn how pro sports work.

Was the 30 second spike a disaster? Yes.
Was the final playcall facepalm-worthy? Yes.

But neither were intentional attempts to ruin the 49ers chances to win that game.

It never came across to me that there was any potential sabotaging on Martz’s part. As Fooch already mentioned, there isn’t a good reason for him to do it. It doesn’t benefit him in any possible way.

What confuses me more is that he wants to be a head coach. So why would he do anything that makes him less professional that he already is? Now I know that this could be all directed toward O’Sullivan being benched, but a great offensive coordinator knows how to make things work when things go bad. And if Martz wants to be a head coach, he needs to be able to do that.

Making his players look bad and making coach Singletary look bad is not the way I think any sane guy would approach it. Fooch is right on the point. It doesn’t make sense for him to do something like this.

And for some reason this is the truth, well, all my respect is lost for Martz. But in this hectic world of football where chances are slim to be a head coach, why would Martz screw it up?

I forget who posted it, but it was mentioned that Kurt Warner will be a FA at the end of the season. If Hill is not the answer and MM does return next year, how interesting would it be to have KW as a stopgap until a drafted QB develops. KW and MM have an good history despite the way things ended in St. Louis. Love him or hate him, KW has an incredibly accurate and strong arm, and has no problem with the "complex’ MM offense. Add a reciever in FA or the draft and we could see a Niner offense capable of scoring 25+ per game. And I dont know about you, but a 38-39 year old HOFer sound like a better option than some run of the mill journeyman with either a soft arm or a perpensity to gift wrap the ball for the defense.

I think Mike Martz is pissed off he didn’t get the head coaching job and is fighting Singletary at every turn. There is definitely a lot of friction and if Martz doesn’t start working hard to work well with his boss then he should be fired. An organization can only function if there is unity from the top down…don’t believe me? Look at the Raider organization…I am sure you folks don’t want to see your team degenerate into that!
