Tee Martin hired by LSU

I have a hard time saying this is “good” for him. Looks more like a reset. I suppose resets are good sometimes…

Maybe I don’t understand the analyst position - is it code word for “you know your X’s and O’s, but you are unhirable right now for some reason so we will stick you in a film room and pay you a tiny salary and maybe you get a chance at a lower college down the road or pro team and reinvent yourself (Kiffin, Butch, etc)?”

Why can’t Tee get a better job? He has a resume in both college and pro. I’m not aware of him doing anything wrong, unethical, etc. What gives? Was it just timing?

After the crap Kiffin just pulled with his Ole Miss staff, why would Tee want to put up with the toxicity? Can he just not handle being away from the game for one season? Kids, wife, girlfriend in LA?

Put me in the mind of Tee and educate me why he would take this job.

Thanks

He keeps you in the hiring circles.

Sometime's it's just timing. New Raven's coach bringing in new blood. On field P4 coaching pretty well filled up at moment. Other NFL jobs likely filled by now as well. Never have heard anything negative about him as a coach, or his abilities as one. I'm sure this is temporary til the next round of suitable opportunities open up. He seems to be a solid coach who has not yet realized his potential ceiling maybe?? And, this is not his first stint with Kiffin. Seems to be well respected in the NFL circles.

Why would he be unhireable? He spent the last 6 years on the Ravens staff and is pretty well respected in the NFL.

Like Heupel hiring Littrell or Saban hiring Butch Jones, these guys need "image rehab" and they're cheap to hire as analysts. Sark picked up Mark Stoops as a "special assistant" or whatever and the salary is probably not like an "assistant coach."

Tee feeds the family, keeps his name out there by calling recruits and HS coaches, maybe he works in the box during games in some way, maybe he's an NIL/school liaison, etc.

If LSU comes to town and wins and he lights a cigar....... he's dead to me.

Tee Martin doesn't need "image rehab." Maybe in your eyes he does, but literally no one else but UT fans feel that way.

Wasn't retained in Baltimore. Coached under Kiffin back at USC.

Not really a great job. Hopefully he gets a better offer or can work his way up.

I would say he's probably making close to six figures. I'm sure he negotiated a pretty good contract. He's getting paid to watch film and to evaluate, that has to be a pretty good gig. I will take that over digging ditches any day

Saban hired Sark as an offensive analyst to rehab his image too.

compared to what Tee is accustomed to it’s a step down.

Respected for what? He seems rather average throughout his coaching career, one step forward, two back. I really don’t think much of this move and always thought he was overrated, so going back to Kiffin as an “analyst” looks like a stopgap move.
