tee martin needs to take a long walk off a short pier. He completely disrespected tennessee when he showed up in knoxville sporting his usc hooded sweatshirt (in the airport), seemed interested in the job, turned it down, and then played along with lane kiffin's bs by posting his tennessee job turn down on twitter.
At that point, his street sign should have been taken down and replaced with a true vfl such as al wilson or inky johnson. Tee martin is a trojan, not a vfl imo. Oh... And his comment about jalen hurd was immature, disrespectful, and just plain wrong.
Right it was the D but he was on that team. I watched that game and he was pretty darn good. That 98 team was the only NC team in my life time. I was privileged and I doubt it will ever be duplicated.:rock:There were 10 other guys on the field with him. Yes he played good, but HE didn't singlehandedly win the NC.
Screw Martin. And what makes him a good coach anyway?
This Tee hate is totally unfounded. UT has never seriously pursued Tee nor made him a sincere offer to coach here. Butch wanted to bring in his own guy, so he extended a token offer to Tee to appease the fanbase. It was a lateral offer-- no upgrade in position, with only a small salary bump. SC immediately countered with a much more competitive offer, and UT made no attempt to negotiate. It was clear which school and which coach valued Tee more.
If Kiffin had stayed at UT another year, it's likely he would have hired Tee... and it's likely Tee would have come. But Butch brings in people from his own coaching tree. He's not going to approach Tee or anybody else with a Tennessee pedigree. If Coach Z leaves, look for another DeBordesque hire.
