Mike Martz, the architect of the offense known as "The Greatest Show on Turf" while offensive coordinator and head coach of the St. Louis Rams, reportedly is under consideration by new Lions coach Rod Marinelli for the offensive coordinator's position.
Martz has told the Lions that he will make up his mind by Monday, according to a report on ESPN.com.
Martz, 54, became offensive coordinator of the Rams in 1999. The team featured quarterback Kurt Warner and running back Marshall Faulk and beat the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV.
**** Vermeil announced his retirement as head coach after the Super Bowl and Martz succeeded him. The 2001 Rams went to Super Bowl XXXVI and lost to the New England Patriots.
Martz gave up coaching the Rams after five games in 2005 because of a heart condition caused by a bacterial infection.
The Rams released him after the season and reached a settlement on the final year of his contract.
