I don't love Marty. I just think he's a better HC coach than Norv. I would hire Norv as an OC if I owned a team. But not a HC. And anyone who knows anything about football would probably agree with me.
The GM is the one who is at fault for not keeping Brees. He offered him a BS contract after he hurt his shoulder. NO gave him a better contract and he bolted. Marty wanted to keep Brees. The GM did not.
The owner fired Marty, not the GM. If I remember correctly Dean Spanos said it was a bad working envirnment, or something like that. The two could not work together anymore so he sided with the GM and Marty got the boot.
