It didn’t take long for 49ers head coach Mike Singletary to make some changes on his staff — on Tuesday he fired offensive guru Mike Martz.

“After an evaluation period, I felt it was best to go in a different direction,” Singletary said. “This was not an easy decision because I appreciate Mike Martz, and I enjoyed working with him. He is a true professional, and I wish him the best in the future. I do recognize the need for a long-term solution on the offensive side of the ball.”

Martz is a pass happy coordinator and it’s obvious Singletary wants to have a run oriented offense.

Martz won’t have any troubls finding a new coaching gig. He could even get some consideration to fill a head coaching vacancy, but that’s doubtful — although I think he would be a perfect fit with Al Davis in Oakland.
