If he knew that from the beginning, then why even entertain UT at this time?

Right. A simple phone call from LA----Thanks, but I am committed. You need to fly to Knoxville (family in tow) to discover that you are "committed" ?
Make the headlines and Dis your Alma Mater? C'mon Man.

Basilio blog if true is disturbing. Tee bringing his family tells me he wanted the job but he gets here and was on his own as far as transportation from airport and then got to campus and had no idea where to go. I'm sure it didn't exactly make him feel like anyone over there cared if he took the job or not.

If he wanted the job I don't think not having a courtesy van is going to keep him from signing..

So he makes a promise to a coach who in a blink of an eye would leave if a better coaching position was offered to him? (NFL)

Well, Lane Kiffin promised we'd be rolling by his third year.

Yea it wasn't the right way either, but we were rolling. I do find it funny he said he was a man of his word to Lane, when he knows how bad man lied to us. Oh well still think it has to do with baby mama here. Not sure his wife would like to deal with that all the time. Now she hardly ever have to. It said Tee hardly saw son now?? Who knows

My guess:
There was an invite.
Tee was interested and even brought the whole family.
Something fell through during talks.
Tee makes a statement to make it look like he wasn't about to abandon his current team and school, he had to save face.

Exactly. He was definitely interested, but Hart and/or Jones couldn't close the deal.

Show respect to his university (meet with them in person). Kind of like how you break up with a girl, face to face instead of a text or email etc. a,so, I'm sure he angled for a pay raise. Kind of like Gundy and Strong

If you believe that, then you have your orange colored glasses on. Tee flew to Knoxville with his family on UT's dime to visit and to spend time with his son and get a raise in the process. He knew before he left California what he was gonna do. Nothing he saw in Knoxville that he and his wife hadn't seen before.

And you know this how?

You can't have a good drama thread without a Casablanca reference in it.

Well "played" JWF.

Seems Tee turned us down because we couldn't pay him the money Kiffin is paying him. He is making 500 grand which we didn't and evidently couldn't offer.

I've refrained from any opinion on this but Tee needs to hush. Last i checked lane kiffin left UT without finishing what he had promised to do. Tee being loyal to a guy that left his college in the worse possible position is ridiculous. If that's the case then why parade your family. Give a courtesy interview on neutral turf or just say your not in the market. Someone needs to teach the guy some PR skills.

Yeah, because he doesn't have a family or anything to think about either.

Will someone please explain to me why people are freaking out so hard about not getting Martin. I must be missing something because I thought he was only a WR coach. Surely people are going mad because he's the only person in the world that can coach WR...

When did the parade occur?

Hate I missed that. Always enjoyed a good parade.
