Lions Finally Hire Martz
8th February, 2006 - 8:56 pm
AP - The Detroit Lions hired Mike Martz after all.

The former Rams coach became Lions offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Wednesday, a week after he turned down the job for financial reasons.

Martz interviewed with new coach Rod Marinelli and team president Matt Millen nine days ago, but said last Thursday he wasn't taking the job because, "It just didn't work out with the money."

Contract terms weren't disclosed.

The Rams fired Martz on Jan. 2, the day after St. Louis finished 6-10. He sat out the last 11 games recovering from endocarditis, a bacterial infection of a heart valve, but has been was cleared to return to coaching. [READ]
