Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that a source close to former St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz says that Martz "would love to work with Jay Cutler".
With current offensive coordinator Ron Turner under fire, it might be tempting for Lovie Smith to hire his former boss in St. Louis, where Martz was the architect for the "Greatest Show on Turf". Under Martz's direction, the Rams' offense ranked 1st in the NFL from 1999-2001 and 2nd in 2003, with the Rams winning four NFC West titles during those years and hoisting the Lombardi Trophy on one two trips to the Super Bowl.
While Martz has struggled in recent coordinator stints in Detroit (2007) and San Francisco (2008), and has a reputation for "going rogue", his system has proven to be very quarterback-friendly, particularly to those with the arm strength of a Jay Cutler.
Current Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner was named the NFL's MVP in 1999 and 2001, and was selected for the Pro Bowl in each of his three years at the helm of the Rams' offense. Rams quarterback Marc Bulger also went to the Pro Bowl in 2003, his first full season as the team's starting quarterback.
