Additionally, he voiced support for Greg Schiano, the coach that Tennessee had all-but-signed until an overwhelmingly negative reaction from the fan base led then-athletic director John Currie to back out after a signed memorandum of understanding.
"It was a tough deal," Martin said. "I have a lot of respect for Greg and what he's done in his career as a football coach. When his name came up, I thought, 'Wow, he's a really good football coach.' I thought it would have been a good fit.
"Obviously, it didn't happen and it kind of took its path of however that happened. It is what it is. I can't really speak too much to what went into that. But when the name initially got announced, I was like, 'that's a heckuva coach.' "
wow.
If Schiano's coaching ability is so good, he'll have no trouble getting a job somewhere, right? They'll be knocking down his door. Won't they?
Tee won national championship he deserves the respect of all VFL....Period..once a vol always a vol.
UT needs to hurry up with the south side renovation of Neyland Stadium so that Tee Martin Drive can be dug up and eliminated from the map.
Let me say it a little stronger: Martin was the leader on the only UT team in modern history to exhibit even one minute speck of relevance. I don't know if he would ever make a good head coach, but everyone on this board should bow down and worship the ground he walks on and his every word: we will never, never have it so good again. Keep running those smart mouths; each 5 win season will seem so satisfying.
