Apparently many within the organization are less than thrilled with the Martz hire.
Not because of his ability...few question that...but because it appears the guy is a complete jerk to deal with, and the Rams GM (who is close to the York family) couldn't wait to get rid of him in their time together, despite his on field success.
Also, Gore was initially disappointed in the hire, thinking it meant going away from running, but has since been turned around by the comments Martz is making about his being the hub of the offense.
Of those who don't like the move (some called 'high up'), many apparently thought this move was precipitous, that Nolan really didn't keep anyone in the loop, let alone involve them in the decision, and this was seen as his trying to reassert his authority after the whole GM thing.

It should make our offense more watchable next season, but do we really have the personnel as of now? I mean Alex Smith really showed nothing last season, and our WR's didn't do much to help--though I did like Battle's effort.
Yeah first thought that came to mind was going away from Frank Gore, which IMO is the wrong way to go, but from some comments seems like he'll still get his touches, moreso in the receiving game as well. He led the team in receptions two seasons ago.
