Marty Mornhinweg (born March 29, 1962 in Edmond, OK) is currently the offensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, having joined the Eagles in 2003 as the assistant head coach. He was named offensive coordinator on January 6, 2006, after the Eagles previous offensive coordinator Brad Childress was hired as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
Previously, he was the head coach of the Detroit Lions where he compiled a 5-27 record during the 2001-2002 seasons. He was hired by the infamous Matt Millen, the man with the worst record as a general manager in this history of the NFL.[1]
He was also a backup quarterback for the Denver Dynamite in the Arena Football League in 1987.
The most notable moment in Mornhinweg's history was his decision to kick after winning an overtime coin toss. Mornhinweg felt that having the wind in his favor was more important for his Lions to win the game in Chicago, despite having as his kicker Jason Hanson, who hit a then-NCAA record 62-yard field goal in his college days at Washington State University. He elected to kick and on the Bears opening drive, Chicago scored a field goal. Mornhinweg's Lions went on to become 3-13 after that game. This decision was the runner up for the Terry Award to Dwayne Rudd's premature helmet toss celebration that cost his Cleveland Browns a victory.
