Tee Martin to return?

I believe it all depends on the new OC being a qb coach. Tee could be the special teams coach we have been looking for and asst. qb coach.

I appreciate Tee for his accomplishments here but lets be real, that 98 team was the most conservative offense Cutcliffe ever ran. Fortunately we could out athlete evry team every game and it didnt bite us. Tee didn't have great qb skills per say. He had pretty good instincts which is different and you can't coach that. He had a knack of when to run and when not to. But his efficiancy as qb was mediocre at best and thats what is coachable, I.E. mechanics. He consistently threw in a downward motion which resulted in his low completion percentage. That being said no one threw a prettier deep ball than Tee.

He was much better at the end of the season than the beginning which idicates ability to learn and improve. If he's able to learn and put this new knowledge into action, then there's a good chance he knows how to teach. The best coaches are normally NOT the best players.

Surely we could find a spot on the sidelines for him somewhere. And Al Wilson, for that matter.

I always think Tee doesn't get quite the love he deserves. I've heard he's coaching in Georgia and I've heard a lot of positive things. I think he could be a good QB coach. Obviously he had 3 years under Cut and 1 under Sanders...he got us to two straight BCS bowls. Record as a starter was 23-3. Still holds completion percentage rating record for 1998 against South Carolina. Yeah we should have beaten Florida or Arky in 1999 and gotten back to the NC game but Tee I think could do a lot for us.

Tee was, for lack of better words, a great athlete who embodied the term "The little engine that could". As the '98 season progressed, he just kept getting better. He won the Syracuse game with his legs, the SC game with his arm, and the other 11 games with his head, his heart, his legs, and his arm. He always found a way. And he was humble every step of the way.

Not to take anything away from the defense, which was special in a special way. But Tee (and Al Wilson, and Dwayne Goodrich, and Peerless Price) was the face of that team.

Find that man a spot on the new staff. He'll earn his money. And hopefully another crystal egg for UT.

Go Vols.

can someone explain to me what tee martin " 'back us into a national title" means? He led an undefeated team. We didn't back into anything that year.

The offense Tee learned in college is one UT will be going away from in the future with a new coach. I think a perfect fit for him would be working for Cutcliffe at Duke as a position coach. :twocents:

absolutely. Because with all his years of playing, Cutcliffe's offense is the only he offense he has ever known.

You never know. It could do a new coach without UT ties good to hire someone like Tee in a position that is not extremely critical to success; at least initially in the fans eyes. We'll back whoever is the new coach, but I guarantee you that fans would begin to believe the new coach bled orange if he hired Tee as a position coach.
