He left a son in Knoxville, too. He had a chance to be with ALL of his kids, and he left it to go coach for that piece of raw sewage Kiffy. I don't want him here. He's a Trojan For Life. Let him sink with the rest of the vermin.

Absolutely agree. I remember reading when we were pursuing him about his teenage son and thinking he's a lock to return. How could someone pass on the opportunity to return to a hero's welcome and also be able to spend time with his son, whom I'm sure sees him as a hero as well. I was pretty shocked when he turned us down. But really I just feel terrible for his kid. Wow. I guess it made me realize that's not the type guy we want representing us anyway.

All you Tee Martin bashers need to remove your orange and cheer for Vanderbilt. This young man, won a NC, played a position that we would kill for right now. After his short NFL career gets into coaching and the university of tennessee wouldn't even talk to him. Our last NC QB gets the cold shoulder from his alma mater. Coach Puck Face Kiffin gives him an opportunity and then we ask him to come home. Im sure there are other circumstances that were involved but you a$$holes need to get your facts straight before you bash any VFL.

If this does not apply to you please disregard Thanks.

GO VOLS!

Any VOL that says no did not follow VOL football in the late 90's. Just the pups that are use to what we have had for the last five years

I agree, so why Tee Martin? He has been on a sinking ship, showing no evidence he can coach anywhere he has been. He can recruit, but last time I checked this staff is doing quite well in recruiting. That ship has sailed.

I love Tee, wanted him here last year, and wish him well at the next stop, but I just don't see why he is so coveted now. Being a former Vol is great and all, but if he didn't play here, no one would be up in arms about hiring him. I feel bad that Dooley snubbed him but there is nothing to be done about that now.

"Just say no to Tee!" Butch reached out to him when he first got here and offered him a position on this staff has we all know. So when he turned us down Tee was off my list as well as Jay Graham to ever be hired or to be rehired by UT! Tee chose his path let him take it!

I will say that I don't know the story behind Tee not coming, I think that is worth mentioning. If it wasn't a good fit for him, then that's fine. I just don't see why UT should pursue him at this point.

I have no idea whether hiring Tee would be the best move or not but I think the biggest reason he didn't accept the offer here was his wife. I understand she can't stand Knoxville.

You people are crazy as hell. Why do you have to constantly bash those who have done more for the university than you mouth breathing knuckle braggers ever will?

He'll have a job till Christmas. Then he better have another option lined up. It should not be us. Maybe he can follow fellow turn-coat Jay Graham and head to FSU.

Most have not bashed him...maybe a select few. But why is it difficult to understand that his opportunity has passed? CBJ reached out and gave him a shot, and he chose to stay with a coach who was clearly on the hot seat. I would doubt CBJ would give him a shot again. He had a chance to come home and be a legend. He will be fine, but I see no problem not pursuing him anytime soon.

I appreciate all tee did for this program but his decision was based off what was best for him & his family. Hopefully his wifes singing career or whatever it was can support them till he lands somewhere. I'm just now sure that him coming to Tennessee now is in our best interest. If it wasn't good enough months ago I see no reason to bring him in now.

I wish we could get Tee Martin as a coach! I also wish we could get a qb that could play the game like Tee did while he was at UT. He had no fear, could convert 3rd & long with his legs or arm. He also beat Florida at Florida! Plus brought us that national championship! Im sorry folks but I just don't see the reason for all of the hate!

Calm down, not as head coach. It would be a good move for boosters and SHOULD help with recruiting. Hiring him would be a smart business move on Butch's part.

Um, not just no but HE'LL NO!!! He had his chance and he crapped on you, me, Butch and the rest of us. He made his bed now he can lay in it. Hope he enjoys coaching D-II.

Sorry that ship has sailed! I loved Tee while he was here. He was offered and decided it best to follow the the loser that has killed UT. If Tee were a TVFL then there is no way he could have supported what Kiffin did to UT 4 yrs ago. NO WAY!

I wish him well but not back at UT.

He thought he was in a better position at USC.. He made his bed, now let him lie in it

Ill be pretty pissed if we hired him now

You guys sound so ridiculous right now... He would have been crazy not to want USC on his resume. I personally don't believe he planned to stay there that long anyway. Just because he chose not to join the current staff doesn't mean he's not a VFL.

None of us will know his reasons for not coming here, but I doubt it was because he hates UT. Some of you need to get a life.
