Re: God! No! Mike Martz!
But dude, you can't really argue against the firing of Jim Hostler. It's obviously a shitty situation to have a 4th OC in four years, but it was unavoidable after the job Hostler did this season. You could even say the same after last summer, when they had to replace Turner so late in the offseason -- it was a shitty deal for everyone involved, but they didn't have many other choices.

As for the hiring, I'm not yet sure what to think. On one hand, Martz's scheme doesn't appear a good fit for the current personnel -- Alex Smith is not a Mike Martz quarterback, Frank Gore needs to actually get 20+ carries, etc. -- but on the other hand, he's one of the most celebrated offensive minds of the past decade. And the 49ers need that.
