before I get some Georgia buddies thoughts I will ask you guys first. How well did he recruit at Georgia? I assume he did well?

If Bob Stoops wants you on his staff then you have to be a solid position coach. I'll take Stoops approval and the fact that Martinez has sent like 14 DB's to the NFL in like 10 years under his tutelage.

Sal Sunseri wasn't meant to be a DC nor was Willie Martinez. Each tried it and failed. CWM obviously knows his role and bread and butter.....solid well known SEC recruiter...good coach to have imo.

Will you guys please read the posts. It says he would be bringing him as DB coach, now Sal sucked at DC but was a damn good LB coach at Bama and having a former DC solely as a DB coach is a pretty solid hire to me especially since he knows the area and has SEC experience. It's defiently an upgrade over our current secondary coaches.

As a DC yes agreed, as a DB coach he's be outstanding. He's a very good recruiter who knows the SEC in general and the state of Georgia in particular.

Don't be a moron.

Martinez was a GREAT recruiter at UGA.....keep the headset off of him, and I'll be happy about adding him to the assistant coaching staff.

Should CBJ hire Willie Martinez? YES!!
CWM would be a great addition as position (DB) coach. As DC, not so much, but we witnessed that in Sal (terrific position (LB) coach) didn't we?
Put that (GA experience) and this past yr at Auburn aside, look at his overall body of work...very impressive.
Love his style of play. His players are well prepared, fundamentally sound, play to their assignment, and are aggressive yet disciplined.

SN: He and CDH would tear up recruiting...

So we hire both WM and TT, both are DB coaches although TT coached LB's in 2012. Hmm? Hope CBJ doesn't intend to have TT coaching LB's here. Two reasons why I do not like this idea --- one, TT is a better DB coach and two, that would indicate that CBJ plans to have Jancek be DC, not LB coach, and that concerns me.
