stuvian Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Interview question #1: What was it like to be drafted ahead of Tom Brady and cut the same year? Interview question #2: Can we call you Tree as in Big Tree Inn? 1 Quote
Southern_Bills Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 25 minutes ago, BuffaloBillsGospel said: I don't think this is a Rooney rule interview imo, they could have interviewed any candidates they wanted to. Obviously coaches know way more than we do about coaches who are ready for an upgrade. I'm not going to act like I know if he's done anything great or not but the Bills respected him enough to give him the first crack at an interview. Also a fun side note on Tee Martin.... He is the father of GB rookie WR Amari Rogers who changed his name to his moms maiden name so he could get offers on his own without using his Dad's name who's pretty highly regarded in the College community for what he did at Tennessee. Another fun fact, Tee Higgins the WR from Bengals got his name because of QB Tee Higgins (from his mom) but is of no relation. He's from TN, college football is a thing there. 2 Quote
2003Contenders Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 There is a part of me that likes the notion of bringing in an up-and-comer like Martin. However, with defensive-minded MCD at HC would prefer someone a bit more experienced. Good news is that with Josh, the OC position in Buffalo should be viewed favorably, so we should see a quality pool of candidates. Quote

I was NOT aware of this. Makes sense and I am happy the Bills braintrust is moving forward on this. Quote
Logic Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I don't know absolutely anything about Tee Martin as a candidate, but it's not going to stop me from LOUDLY PROCLAIMING STRONGLY WORDED DECLARATIONS OF OPINION AND DECRYING ANYONE WHO DARES TO DISAGREE WITH ME!!!!!!! 1 4 1 2 Quote

Bills should be wise to take there time. Quote

He’s worked with some great coaches, the Bills could do a lot worse. I can’t say for sure whether I would hire him or not until I see the other candidates. Exactly...I hate how every time the Bills interview a minority candidate, people have to jump on here and dismiss the guy as a Rooney rule interview.....it’s ignorant perspectives like this that make the Rooney rule necessary in the first place. 5 1 2 1 Quote

DrDawkinstein Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Some other interesting stuff from his wiki page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tee_Martin Quote USC ...News of his hiring at USC was broken by a tweet by quarterback Matt Barkley... Quote Personal Life Martin owns Playmakers Sports, a company specializing in sports event planning, quarterback training, and skills development[20] and is a college football expert on Comcast Sports Southeast program Talkin' Football.[21] He is a quarterback coach for the Nike Elite 11 Quarterback Camps, Nike Football Training Camps, and has trained many high school and Division 1 quarterbacks.[22] In 2008, Martin created the "Dual Threat" Quarterback Camp and Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

Feels like the Ravens have been terrible at finding WR's in draft or free agency for years. Marquise Brown even took 3 years to finally have a decent year this season, and it was just solid but not anything crazy. I mean, there is really good information on why this may be a good thing in this very thread. Scroll back, I suppose? Also, context is a good thing. In Tee's 1st season coaching him Brown went over 1,000 yards and had 90+ catches with Jackson and Jackson Lite passing him the ball. 1 Quote

He's been with the Ravens 1 season. He isnt the GM, so he isnt drafting or signing WRs. He coached Brown for only this past season (his first decent one). 1 Quote

theRalph Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Wishful wondering perhaps, but McDermott and Payton go way back. The Seans were in mutual admiration of their respective crafts with years of Panthers vs. Saints. Sean Payton does not need to prove himself in another HC job, certainly. How attractive would the prospect of crafting an offense for JA and co. be to Sean Payton. Rather attractive, I'd venture. Edited January 31, 2022 by theRalph Quote
Rico Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Maybe Peerless Price put in a good word for him. Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 How could this guy be the first person on their list? Yeah, I get Rooney rule and all that but even still. He has no experience as an NFL OC. Who knows how good he even is at WR coach as they don't throw the ball and when they do they usually don't to the WRs. Quote

The knock on Payton is that he'd essentially be a 1-year rental and gone once the Dallas HC spot opens up in 2023. Which could be fine, and gives us more time to find the up-and-comer we really want to hire. But will cause more instability and turn over when Payton leaves and tries to take guys with him too. 1 1 Quote
