Southern_Bills Posted January 31, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted January 31, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted January 31, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theRalph Posted January 31, 2022 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re speculating. NFL teams operate in a small bubble and are very aware of coaches that work for other franchises. I could speculate That he’d likely get interviews and no one on the outside would give it a second thought. Anyway, the discussion was about perspectives / notions created by the existence of the rule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that would scare me is if he brought the RPO with him. I wouldn’t mind seeing us do it 5-6x a game, but not too much ‘cause I don’t want to see Allen get hurt. It DOES look like he had two great seasons with Darnold at USC as well. 57:22 TD/INT ratio. So that’s a plus. Darnold was drafted high. Also, he worked with Harbaugh in Baltimore and he worked with Vrabel in Tennessee, so he has exposure to some great coaches. This guy isn’t just some “Rooney rule” candidate. He’s a legit coach in his own right, not just because of the color of his skin. He’s legitimately a good coach. Anyways, God bless him, we’re off to a good start.

Well, in fairness, we know that the Bills had a very high powered offense the last couple of years, a very highly ranked defense the last two years, played in an AFC championship game and Divisional round game in successive years and a fair amount of folks wanted to run the coordinators out of town as well. The experience is pretty consistent, really, like Fritos offering consistently crunchy and salty deliciousness bag to bag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Same. John Harbaugh hired him so that alone warrants some interest. This is exactly how I expect this process to look.
