Martz' team didn't win a ring.Vermiel's team did. Martz was the OC, whose mad genius had to be held in check by HC Vermiel.
Martz took a great team that somebody else built and eventually tore it down.
McVay took the beginnings of a good team that someone else built and built it into a great team.
McVay breathed life into Strafford's career; Martz breathed death into Warner's career.
Vermiel went on to build a faltering Kansas City team into a good team. The trajectory for every team he took over was upward. Martz, not so much.
McVay and Vermiel are people I would like to know as friends.They are fine human beings. Martz, not a man I admire.
Thus the
sign for a quip of his that I don't particularly agree with.I think the Rams have the potential to finish above 50%
