Whiz to interview for GT job.

[Budsman]

Martz is HC of the new San Diego AAF team, so wouldn't be available for at least a year.

It's a good Opportunity for Whiz. If he's interested, it makes some football sense for him. However, I don't know how into recruiting he is. He's an NFL coaching lifer.

Mike Martz is out for me, personally.

No way Chris Pederson is leaving Washington for a Coordinator position.

If you want a "college uptempo" type coach... Kliff Kingsbury is the top OC mind on the market.

Lynn is old school, and I would imagine that if Whiz leaves, we will end up with someone he has worked with before.

Maybe he will make Stewart our OC. I am kidding!

Then say goodbye to HH. Martz is not a fan of the TE in the passing game. Olsen was run out of CHI soon aftet Martz arrived. He also leaves the qb open to a lot of hits. I would pass on Martz.

[Heatmiser]

I agree with Coach.

I doubt Lynn takes a chance on an unkown up and comer. It will be someone he is comfy with. And he has made good calls (keeping Whiz, hiring Gus, the OL coach) and a bad one (hiring Stewart). I look for someone already on the staff or someone Lynn worked with before.

If Whiz does leave, great for him. He was a great part of the staff and really helped Lynn as a first time HC due to his past HC experience. I also have been impressed that he was able to adapt to what Lynn wanted to run without sacrificing what made his offense successful. Lynn and Whiz have been good for each other.

Not on the Martz bandwagon myself. Never liked the guy. And will he adapt or want to run stuff that will get Rivers killed?

[richpjr]

I just hope Whiz is not distracted during this process as we need his focus during the next five games.

[Bolt-O]

At this point there is no real reason to rush in. There will be a change in offensive philosophy from Paul Johnson to almost anyone else, and it will be hard to change direction to recruit a new pro-style QB and WRs at this point, imo.

[Formula 21]

Whiz is a bit on the boring side for college HC imo. But a great coordinator.

[HollywoodLeo]

So... are they able to hire him before the season?

And if Whiz can't focus on a game he's coaching just because he interviewed for another team one day then he shouldn't be coaching professional football teams.

Dirk Koetter would be a guy to watch if he gets fired in TB. He hasnt done much as a HC but certainly has proven himself as an OC.

Good call. His time in Tampa is most likely coming to an end.
