It reminds me of when Alabama hired Mike Shula.
Completely different situation. Our program needed a steward at that point, and Shula fit the bill perfectly. A better Bama analogy for Tee Martin would be us hiring Mike Dubose, honestly, but even then we weren't anywhere near this pathetic.

And even Dubose was able to win an SEC championship.

Tennessee has essentially rendered themselves so toxic that they're flailing around, grasping for the first guy they can find who can be passed off as a coach.

Mike Shula played quarterback for Coach Ray Perkins from 84-86. Coach Bryant's last season was 1982. I can see the logic in comparing Tee Martin to Shula but I'm pretty confident Martin would be a much better recruiter than Coach Mike Shula was. It's a risk no doubt, but no balls no black chips.

Same reason people think Kevin Mawae should be a coach here or Johnny Jones or Kevin Faulk. They think if you played there you must be able to coach there too. People are stupid.

I'm getting quite the opposite impression. They seem to be going after everybody BUT Tee Martin. It's almost like they want to exhaust every possible option, good or bad, before throwing up their hands and giving him the gig.
