So it's official??? You've confirmed it??

No but it's hard to see this much smoke and feel like there's no fire.

No big loss as a coach. Huge loss as a recruiter. Kiffin wants to go into the South and start pulling kids out. Now he'll have a great young recruiter with connections all over the Southeast with the USC "brand" behind him.

Tee Martin just texted me that he has taken the wide receivers coach job at the University of Southern Cal.

Rivals Ben Jones got a text from Tee. . . I guess it is official now

lol,

and what exactly is funny about this?

Saying "it's official" means nothing unless you give the reason why. . . according to them earlier this year he was "official" to UT. . .

As of 45 minutes ago joker didn't know anything about it. If tee is "texting" members of the media this quickly it
Proves that all vols are scum. I still think its odd that this hasn't broken officially.

I tend to agree with the poster above who noted that it's not a big loss from a "coaching" standpoint. Where it is a huge loss, obviously, is on the recruiting trail. Joker will have to go out and be mercinary in seeking the absolute best recruiter UK can hire (and Barnhart will have to make available the resources needed to lure such a recruiter to Lexington).

*grumble*

For the life of me i dont see how some view this as not a huge hit!.. Its Huge!!....Okay maybe he wasnt the best positions coach in the SEC, someone has to be responsible for attracting the talent to our practice field and once theyre here........someone else can coach them. Remember this is about Jimmy and Joes not X's and O's. If the talent doesnt make it to campus we have no chance!
