Does everyone on here believe the main reason Tee Martin was NOT selected as the OC was due to his minimal experience as a OC and the possibility of Helton having more coaching experience?

LOL.... This coaching search has fried brain matter. He was NEVER coming here as OC....Only way he would come is HC. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?
 

Here is the recorded video of Tee saying this.

Per 102.5 Nashville: USC Beat Guy Says Tee Martin Certainly didn't call the plays at USC. And kind laughed at the fact of Swain saying that Tee called 100% of the plays. He's been an insider for them for 20+ years

He mentioned he was kind of surprised we hired Helton though. Expected that we would have hired a bigger/more respected name.

Anyone else hear this interview?

I'll just leave this here.

I read somewhere that Tee Martin said he felt like he deserved the head coach position and Fulmer didn’t think so. Wanted him as an OC and the talks ended there because Tee wasn’t making a lateral move. He feels like he’s proved himself and deserves a spot at being a head coach. Fulmer thinks he needed more experience.

Personally i don’t think it was never a real option. Only called Tee as a PR move. Just to say at least we tried to bring our guy home. It definitely gave Fulmer some good PR and a measure of patience.

Sorry but Tee getting OC at UT is a promotion compared to his current gig. Pruitt just hired USC's real OC. Tee would have had more responsibility here.

Didn't want Tee at OC due his inexperience as a QB coach. Helton was best hire possible.

USC had the number 6 ranked offense last year and has potentially the number 1 overall pick in the NFL draft next year. How in the world would you think coming to UT to inherit a offense that only has one SEC caliper O-lineman and no QB on the roster that would fit his system. Regardless of what some think on here the offensive roster is a complete rebuild and no proven coordinator was going to take the job and set himself up for failure.
