Not hearing much about Tee...

Even though T Martin won a National Championship while at UT, he has no Head Coaching experience what so ever, I'll pass on T Martin for HC, you?:popcorn:

Tee wasn't even in the same area code with Peyton when it comes to playing QB. That '98 team wasn't even the best team Fulmer had. The stars aligned perfectly for that team. The Syracuse, Fla, Auburn and Arkansas games were all games that needed a few strokes of luck in each to win. Hell we even caught a break in the NC game with Outzen having to play QB instead of Chris Weinke. I don't know that we beat them if Weinke had played. That '98 team was destined to win the NC. There were quite a few other Fulmer Teams that were better than that '98 team but they took advantage of the good luck they had and every game they played together as a team and never gave up. Definitely my fondest memory as a Vol Fan. Just hoping I live to see atleast 1 more. Imo the '01 team was from top to bottom one of the best and possibly the best teams Fulmer ever had. Peyton JR and Sr teams could have given them a run but if you ever get to go back and look at the team roster it boggles my mind how they didn't win a NC with either that JR or SR class. The future NFL players on that team was truly epic. You won't see many rosters top to bottom that were any better at ANY school. It was impressive. Just shows the type of players and elite talent Fulmer brought in year in and out. If he could have at the very least split wins with Spurrier we would have atleast played for 3-5 more National Championships under Fulmer. It just further stresses the importance of hiring the right HC this time.

"Played Together" Yep. I know First Hand there was some jealousy of Peyton.

If we can't get a proven head coach for whatever reason, Tee is a good choice. Hed make good hires and coaches go all out for their school. Hiring a coordinator that went to your school has worked out well for UGA to this point.

Hard to blame em. He had a perfect season, a national title, and all you hear about is how great Peyton Manning was.

Not exactly. He had a good season and our defense was awesome. Anchored by Al Wilson when he wasnt too injured to play

Why would we hire an OC that doesn't even get to call plays as our head coach?

Not sure what you are talking about but Tee is totally calling the offense. He actually got total control once he pushed Helton to insert Darnold into the starting lineup last year vs Utah.

What's there to understand? How much USC football do you watch? Tee will be lucky to have a job after this season. I would love to bring him on staff but not as a HC.

His offense is 15-3 since Tee got total control of the offense and inserted Darnold. They have a favorable remaining schedule. If they wind up 10-2, fans will love them.

USC's biggest problem is their defense isn't very good and Darnold has seemed to stalled. However, they have an easy remaining schedule. Darnold still goes #1 in the draft.

I'd take Randy Sanders over Tee, due to the relative experience difference alone. Flame away.

If we wound up with someone like Les Miles, I would kindly suggest to him if I Currie that we would give him a blank check to hire Tee. I imagine that Tee rebuilding SC's offense after Darnold goes pro this year isn't something he'd like to do.

Poor Tee. With all due respect - one player at one position does not in itself win a championship. Peyton was watching from the sidelines as Florida's offense put up points. Yes, thankful that Tee was able to carry his part of the load in '98. He deserves admiration and respect for that.

Peyton, on the other hand - all that could be said has been said. HOF in college, pro - two super bowl rings. Charitable beyond the call of duty to his former school.

Tee, at this stage isn't head coach material. Maybe someday, but not now.

You must have terrible memory of Peyton's games against Florida. How many interceptions did he throw against them?

No to Tee Martin. There is not enough there to make HC material now. Give him some more time to develop and It may be a great match. With that said, I hope TN is not in the circle to get a new coach in a few years! Maybe with this coaching change (hopefully soon) TN will be in the national conversation again soon and not just the national joke conversation!

Dabo was a coordinator with no previous HC experience. Like I said people would not consider him.

He wasn't a coordinator. He was the WR coach at Clemson when he became Interim and then full time head coach.

As interim, his first move was firing the OC that Bowden had.

That's even worse...he leapfrogged into the position.

I think my comment was misunderstood. I don't think Tee was as good as Peyton as a QB, nor do I think that the 98 team was particularly awesome. They nearly lost to Syracuse right out of the gate. I do believe the love fest for Manning from UT fans througout the years alienated Tee a bit , considering he had the hardware and Peyton didn't. Not that it matters because Tee has 0 HC experience. If he is indeed a little salty toward UT , I wouldn't be surprised.

Option?

Really hope not. If we are going to hire an assistant coach, at least hire a successful one. Tee probably will be one of the sacrficial coaches let go by Helton to hold onto his job after this year. No way should we consider him as head coach.
