Martz linked to San Diego State job Is Mike Martz going back to school? A report Thursday said the 49ers' offensive coordinator is a candidate to become the head coach at San Diego State. The San Diego Union-Tribune, citing sources, said there are indications that Martz and former University of Minnesota coach Glen Mason are "persons of interest" in the search to replace Chuck Long. Martz, 57, was born in South Dakota and moved to San Diego at 8. He used to go to San Diego State games as a kid and watch Don Coryell's offensive powerhouses. Martz's first college coaching job was as an assistant at Mesa College in San Diego. 49ers Coach Mike Singletary declined to address Martz's potential candidacy. San Jose Mercury News
