Former USC QB bashes Tee Martin following Cotton Bowl, praises Tennessee for passing

The USC Trojans didn’t have the best showing in Friday night’s Cotton Bowl against Ohio State, falling to the Buckeyes 24-7.
It was a putrid performance from the Trojans’ offense, which is currently led by former Tennessee QB Tee Martin, who has been USC’s offensive coordinator since last season.
Many Tennessee fans wanted the 1998 national champion to return to Knoxville as the Vols’ head coach this offseason, but an ex-USC quarterback, Sean Salisbury, thinks Tennessee dodged a bullet:
Tennessee Volunteer fans be happy you didn't hire Tee Martin as your head coach! I'm a USC guy. Trust me that wouldn't have worked out well for Vols fans!

Salisbury expanded on his thoughts on Martin in the replies to his original tweet, continuing to question Martin’s play-calling ability:
Oh I'm right. You never would have won much

Me too lol

Because he is so far over his head

Obviously, it wasn’t entirely Martin’s fault that the Trojans struggled against Ohio State’s elite defense, but it was a disappointing showing, for sure.
Martin is still very popular on Rocky Top, but Salisbury thinks the Vols made the right decision by passing on him as a head coach.
