"Mike Martz also wasn't Dick Vermeil's first choice as offensive coordinator last year. In fact, Vermeil wanted to promote tight end coach Mike White from his own staff to the position, but Rams president John Shaw wouldn't have it. Shaw got Vermeil focused on somebody who could restore Isaac Bruce to Pro Bowl form; the natural choice was Martz, who had been the Rams receivers coach under Rich Brooks prior to joining Norv Turner in Washington when Vermeil succeeded Brooks in St. Louis."
