Former Baltimore Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin is being hired by Lane Kiffin as an offensive analyst at LSU, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Martin reunites with Lane Kiffin, who hired him at USC back in 2012.
Martin, 47, spent the last five seasons with the Ravens, two as wide receivers coach and three as quarterbacks coach.
Before that, he spent two seasons as the assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at his alma mater, Tennessee from 2019-20, seven years as wide receivers coach, passing game coordinator and offensive coordinator at USC from 2012-18, where he coached under Kiffin, Ed Orgeron, Steve Sarkisian and Clay Helton.
Martin was one of the six quarterbacks taken ahead of Tom Brady in the 2000 NFL Draft. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the fifth round.
Martin spent two seasons with the Steelers in 2000 and 2001. As a rookie, he was the No. 3 quarterback behind Kent Graham and Kordell Stewart. In 2001, he was the No. 3 behind Stewart and Tommy Maddox. Martin appeared in one game with the Steelers, the 2001 season finale against the Cleveland Browns . He rushed one time for eight yards.
In 2002, the Steelers sent Martin to play for the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe. He led the team to a 7-3 record and first place finish, losing to the Berlin Thunder in the World Bowl.
That summer, the Steelers signed Charlie Batch as a free agent to take the No. 3 quarterback job, and Martin was released in September. He spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad in 2002 and then with the Oakland Raiders in 2003. He finished his playing career in the CFL, spending two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Martin got into coaching immediately after his playing career, starting at Division II Morehouse in 2006 and then spending two seasons coaching high schools in the Atlanta area before catching on as quarterbacks coach at New Mexico in 2009. He moved on to spend two seasons as wide receivers coach at Kentucky, where he served under offensive coordinator Randy Sanders, who had been Martin's offensive coordinator at Tennessee when the Volunteers won the national championship in 1998.
