YoloinOhio Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Also could offer him the WR job if chad hall gets promoted. Would be lateral but why would he stay with the ravens who don’t throw it 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Considering he only coached in the NFL for one year as a wr coach and he was never an offensive coordinator for a college team, I don't believe he is being seriously considered and he may have been brought in to satisfy the Rooney rule: The rule has been expanded to require teams to interview at least two external minority candidates for general manager/executive of football operations positions and all coordinator roles 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Spent 2016-2018 as USC's OC. Last year was his 1st season coaching in the NFL. Spent time at New Mexico, Kentucky and his alma mater (Tennessee) mostly as Pass Game Coordinator/WRs coach. Would definitely be an "In Beane I Trust" response on my part if hired.

ToGoGo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Another example of the joke that the Rooney rule is. But let's all pretend it's great for America, or something. 3 3 8 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Tee Martin is going to be a very good coach in this league. Very smart dude, who played the QB position and was learning to play QB side by side and behind Peyton Manning. Honestly, I don't hate the idea. He is also working under Greg Roman, so maybe he can integrate some of those run game concepts here. He is a rising star and I think the interview is warranted. It scares me for sure, but I like the process. 13 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're getting visibility and experience where they might otherwise have not. 5 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
