Cuonzo Martin New Tennessee Coach
Tennessee hires Cuonzo Martin
EmailPrintComments 108 Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee has hired Missouri State's Cuonzo Martin to take over a Volunteers program facing punishment by the NCAA for recruiting violations. The 39-year-old Martin takes over for the popular Bruce Pearl, who was fired March 21, a month after being charged with unethical conduct for lying to NCAA investigators. Martin went 61-41 in three seasons at Missouri State and was chosen this season's Missouri Valley Conference coach of the year. Missouri State finished 26-9 and won the MVC regular-season championship. Tennessee athletics director Mike Hamilton said Sunday that school officials are excited about Martin's coaching ability, toughness and energy. A press conference to introduce Martin was scheduled for Monday. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6264533 |

Knew he was going somewhere. Missouri state is only going to be able to keep a successful coach for one to two years after they achieve success.

I assume UT is paying him a figure Missouri State really can't compete with. |

I would hope so. I doubt MSU could compete with any major conference.

Tennessee folks are not happy with the hire, but Vols fans are dillusional and most of them really liked Pearl so they are not going to be happy with anyone. They didn't want Tubby Smith, Mark Tourgon, Frank Martin ect. They are worse when it comes to football.

But hires like Martin is all they can do. Get a hot shot assistant who wants to prove himself at a mid-major and land a power conference job after that.

I don't know much about him, but I hope he fails miserably!
