Ah interesting. Every other coach on our staff has been under the exact same situation and Martinez. Coach Garner didn’t inherit a stud DL. He developed them. That’s what good coaches do. Now Martinez has been coaching DBs a long time. Why can’t he develop what he has? So the only way to gage the ability of a position coach is to wait until they have elite talent around them?
It’s not really his buddies. He doesn’t go outside his immediate staff for hires. When someone leaves generally we already have their replacement in some sort of analyst position or similar. Worked fine with Pope, Abeln the jury is still out on and honestly the recruiting part of that doesn’t look good. Martinez is for all his other faults a good recruiter. I think he gets more time to get talent on the field. My question is why we didn’t hit the portal for DBs?
Interesting point to argue. We can talk about the past few years if you’d like. He’s put 3 players in the NFL since rejoining our staff in 2021, 4 if Kamal Hadden doesn’t come back and it would be 5 except that Trevon Flowers played 2022 with a muscle disease which put his career on hold. Martinez has put at least one player in the NFL in 6 of the past 7 seasons and has produced 10 NFL players during that timeframe. How many guys does he have to put into the league for you and the other band of ignorants to get off his a$$?
Which other group had 6 guys exit portal worthy where we evidently did not put up a fight? One on his watch. RG was not. Not sure about the LB room. With that exodus portal replacements will be key for experience. Might be tough to get HS guys to jump in if that happens. Could be why we are slow playing the portal solutions till after ESD, trying to get a young stud or two on the dotted line first.
