Also even though Martz was under contract I believe the Rams could have survived had he left under Vermeil as he showcased with the Chiefs with Al Saunders being the OC. But Martz getting upset at Bunting because he didn't sign the contract right away and replacing him with Mike Haluchak was his first mistake. Peter Giunta knew the scheme being he coached under Bud Carson, but John Bunting got the players to buy in, something that neither Giunta nor Haluchak could do.
and wanted to expand his role---he ended up a college head coach...but I think he wanted to advance to that.
Martz, as part of the overall picture probably didn't want to have someone call plays in scheme he didn't play
in or coach under for a short time...
Hard to know if Bunting could have been good play caller or not - all we know is defense was bad and
Guinta was the play caller...
