What was the consensus? Pure Genius or lunacy?
Utter lunacy.
Lunacy with a moon-sized ego. I don't think so.
Charlie Armey: Hiring Mike Martz is 'worst thing that could happen' to Jay Cutler
I found this article interesting....

Former Rams executive (and former Patriots executive) Charlie Armey said Bears coach Lovie Smith would be doing himself a great disservice if he hires ex-Rams coach Mike Martz as his offensive coordinator.
Martz said Tuesday that he would like to serve under Smith with the Bears, who ousted former OC Ron Turner.
But Armey, whose time in St. Louis coincided with Martz's, strongly cautioned Smith (who served as defensive coordinator in St. Louis under Martz) not to hire his old boss.
"I would guess Lovie would hire him because there's a lot of loyalty there," Armey told ESPN. "But I think it would be an absolute mistake, and it would shorten Lovie's career."
Armey also said Martz, who directed the Rams' offense when they were known as the "Greatest Show on Turf," would not be a good teacher for Bears QB Jay Cutler.
"I don't think Martz would work well with Jay Cutler at all," Armey told ESPN. "He's a terrible ... coach, and he would ruin that kid like he ruined Kurt Warner and drove him out of St. Louis.
"He's the worst thing that could happen to any young quarterback." -- Sean Leahy
