Tee Martin receives UT HC endorsement from USC

[Air_Force_Vol27]

You morons saying Tee isn't ready tell me what Dabo was doing before he was HC at Clemson. Tell me what Smart was doing before UGA. It wouldn't just be Tee against the SEC he would have a good staff with him also. If we're going to take a chance on someone take a chance on one of our own.

Mike Norvell to ut, Tee to Memphis for experience

 

[Frank Duncan]

The USC HC gives Tee a very good recommendation, but what do any of us know about Tee Martin's coaching abilities?

zeeee-ro

 

[jakez4ut]

had some good discussion Tee in this thread if your interested.
Peyton not going to bat for Tee????

 

[Frank Duncan]

Per the report earlier today, Tee will accept the job if offered, so can we PLEASE get him on the phone and offer him the job? Let him get a solid staff around him and let's go to work!

Exactly. As long as Tee was given enough money to get a great staff, then I think he could be our coach of the future.

 

[Frank Duncan]

I'm not much on crucifying. It seems like a lot of work. Plus, splinters.

a lot of hanging around also

 

[Frank Duncan]

To add....you do mean the barely .500 win percentage and multiple stories of players absolutely despising him and his methods in TB?

yep.. that's the stuff

 

[Frank Duncan]

Tee - HC
Fulmer mentor to Tee
Steele - DC
Witten
complete your list with other VFL's - would love this

the good thing about this too is if it doesn't work out.. the fanbase wouldn't go all crazy because we gave it a try with former vols - worth a shot... seriously fan base would get behind this even knowing it's a risk taken

sounds like a plan.. and the recruiting would be a breeze with nc's as the coaches

 

[Frank Duncan]

There's an old saying that as a Black man or woman in America, one has to work twice as hard and be twice as good to get half the money/recognition/etc. I think that reality might be operative in this case.

hello albert!!

 

[Frank Duncan]

Pure incompetence by our AD. I don’t think it is a race issue. That will be the trendy topic though.

and any team that tries to talk smack.. we can accuse of racism!

 

[Frank Duncan]

Why is this so difficult?
I was on board with Gruden (regardless of the cost)
I was okay with Kelly (I personally think he is a one-hit wonder)
Now, with Mullen, Schiano, Gundy, etc. Are we really this stupid?
It's time to go back to the family. Period.
Hire Tee Martin. Give him cash to hire great assistant coaches. Worst case scenario, it's probably better than these other guys.
What say the fans?

lets git er dunn

 

[Frank Duncan]

You would take Tee Martin over Mike Gundy?


What world do you live on?

Since gundy played us.. again.. i'd say it's called reality

 

[Vol Main]

I think players would play for Tee.

 

[UTK]

Child. Rape.

There's nothing "snowflake" about the stench (rightly or wrongly) stuck to Schiano.

Get over his abilities. We were right to revolt.

AV

HE doesn’t have any “abilities” anyways lmao

 

[tha truth]

Tee needs to be hired yesterday.

 

[TruVolFann]

Currie won’t even offer him the job. I’m all for Tee, people who say he isn’t ready clearly don’t pay attention to college football and the number of coordinators that took P5 jobs and were very successful.

With more than 2 years experience and most had been a HC somewhere

 

[TruVolFann]

Ive waited for this for a few years I just don't think he's ready and he will be thrust into failure. I want to see T succeed here which is why I think we shuffle another coach thru 1st or sign a petition we as fans won't turn on him a few years from now and we accept the lumps he may take while we give him years more than we would most others so he has a real chance

 

[smokey0625]

Tee a good coordinator at USC for now. Not nearly ready for a coaching job in the SEC. Love Tee, but he's not ready. The same snowflakes who melted at the hiring of a great coach in Greg Schiano now support hires such as Tee Martin and Les Miles. Wow. No wonder our school is in such a mess. Currie's biggest mistake was bowing to the snowflakes and uninformed whiners.

Same could be said for when Phil took over Tn. He had no hc experience. Won a national championship.

Was Dabo ready? How about Smart? Or Richt when he took over Georgia?

 

[tvolsfan]

Tee was a mediocre position coach and his ability as a coordinator is NOT highly regarded, regardless of what Helton said (as if he was going to trash Tee). This is absolutely a disastrous hire if it happens.

 

[felloffthetrain]

Tee can recruit. He's won awards for it. Not to mention a mentor that won a national championship. How does that spell disaster? How is that worse than where we are now?

Where we are now is a disaster. Our fans just seem to be okay if the disaster feels a little more familiar.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Hurry up and hire Tee before you piss him off flirting with a bunch of Butch 3.0s

John Currie is tone deaf!

Runs an offense that has been and is better than ours
Recruiter of the year multiple times
Can handle the LA region
Has done nothing but win in his life
Right
You should Kindly exit this program
Per your promise

I'm close. I waited out Dooley to get to the next coach. I waited out Botch for the same reason. If we let Currie rush an awful hire, I'm not sticking around for the end result. No, UT football won't miss me. But I sure won't miss it.
