Adam Schefter's "Around the League" reports and commentaries can be seen regularly on NFL Total Access. (Nov. 7, 2006) -- If and when the Cardinals and Dennis Green go their separate ways -- and who doesn't expect that to happen? -- look for one of the leading candidates for the job, if not the leading candidate, to be Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz.

It's a no-brainer on so many levels.

For starters, Martz could be the exact offensive-minded coach the Cardinals need to jolt their fan base and capture their players' attention. Martz would be able to get the maximum out of the plethora of offensive talent that the Cardinals have. In Martz's system, quarterback Matt Leinart, running back Edgerrin James, and wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin would be expected to thrive.

Mike Martz was 59-42, including postseason, as the head coach of the Rams. Additionally, Martz's addition might be enough to entice his former star quarterback, Kurt Warner, to stay on for another season instead of retiring. The two forged a strong relationship in St. Louis, and Martz's arrival could prevent Warner's departure.

Plus, there's this kicker: Martz would go from the former Cardinals city in St. Louis to the current Cardinals city in Arizona.

Martz would like to be a head coach again, the Cardinals are expected to be in the market for one, and the two could wind up being perfect for each other.
