(Update 2/2/2006): Looks like Martz is coming and is negotiating a multi-year contract and bringing three assistants with him from the Rams. Stay tuned.

Poor Donnie Henderson, the Lions new defensive coordinator isn’t getting much press. Mike Martz is grabbing all of the Lions media attention, which giving Martz credentials should be expected.

I am excited about the fact that Martz is rumored to be bringing Wilbert Montgomery as a successor. Martz’s 1-year contract made me nervous, but obviously they were going to have someone in place to continue what he is building.

This would be a great dream, courtesy of Bryan Burwell:

“Here’s the ultimate dream: It is the middle of next season, and the Lions are here to play the Rams. Martz has turned Joey Harrington into his newest QB science project, and the kid is flinging the ball around with the accuracy of a young Kurt Warner. And midway through the game on national television, there’s a shot of Lions owner Bill Ford with a broad smile on his face. He’s having fun with his favorite toy again, and it’s all because of the guy with the headsets sitting in the coaches’ box.”
