Tee coming also?

My favorite thing about this board and its revisionist history is how Tee gets credit for the Crystal football, or is under appreciated depending who you ask, yet that D is what truly made the dIfference between W’s and L’s.
 
Here ya go Scooter:

“It was a situation where if I was going to go back to Tennessee, it was to be as the head coach, not as a coordinator,” he said. “I made that message very clear. When I was out of that discussion, they moved on to do what they had to do.” Tee Martin

Tee Martin: Interest in return to Tennessee was only as head coach


Thanks Halph66

Yes true.


Nice year old qutoes. Things change. So not true.

Following the addition of Jim Chaney, could Tee Martin join the Tennessee staff?

After 44 days, Tennessee’s search for an offensive coordinator ended on Tuesday night with the hiring of Jim Chaney. The Vols reportedly outbid Georgia for Chaney’s services and will pay him up to 1.6 million annually. With that behind us, focus will now shift to Tee Martin, who has been connected to the Tennessee staff in recent weeks.


The latest piece of news comes from Trey Wallace, who reports that the Jim Chaney hire was ‘key’ in the process of adding Martin to the staff.

LOL its right there in black and white but go ahead. You asked for a quote and there it is. Spin it any way you want.

Has the man been added to the staff? If he has or will be then awesome you can be right.
 
Tee should take the best job available. He doesn’t have the tools to be a Power 5 HC or OC for that matter. His football IQ is less than desirable. Fulmer most definitely knew this. The NFL knew this and USC eventually figured it out.

I don't see the reason why people feel the need to smear Tee like this. He had one subpar season as OC. He went 10-3 and 11-3 the other two seasons, helped develop a 1st round draft pick QB, won a Rose Bowl, and was one of the best recruiters in the country.

Even during the one subpar season, Clay Helton took over playcalling duties and USC got worse. I don't think Tee was the main problem there; he was just made the scapegoat.

He's not an elite OC, but there have been lots of guys who struggled at first who have become elite coordinators. See Manny Diaz at Miami. He was considered a bust at Texas. Yet, he came back a few years later and built some very good dfenses at Miami.

Tee could very well get another OC role in the future and getting mentored by Chaney could be very helpful for him.
 
You asked for the quote. There it is. Seems to me you're the one trying to bend it to fit your narrative. No, I'm not missing the very essence of what he said. He told Fulmer that the only way he would come to UT was as the Head Coach. Not sure how much more plain he could have been about it. With him being fired and maybe not having many options, would he take a job here compared to the other options.....maybe depending on the other options......would/should we want him? I would say no. Why would we want a guy that is simply settling?
Yeah it’s in black and white “IT WAS A SITUATION”, which clearly isn’t him saying he would only ever go back to UT as HC. You are completely overlooking the context and even the words he used to babble about nothing.

Smear? How is that a smear? The guy scored like a 10 on the Wonderlic test.
Tyson Helton gets the credit for Darnold. One of the reasons why Pruitt hired him. Funny how Tee didn’t struggle until after Darnold and Helton left. Coincidence, I suppose. But yeah he’s a heck of a recruiter and an above average wr coach.

Wonder why Locksley hasn’t offered him at Maryland? Didn’t he give Tee his first job?
 
I don’t think people should want Tee replacing Weinke. Weinke has the IMG connection. The only person I wouldn’t have an issue with Tee replacing is Johnson.
 
Also Tee doesn’t deserve the co-oc title he just got fired from being an OC. Giving him the Co-OC title could cause problems in the future.
