One of the reasons we all love this game of football so much (along with it being the greatest game in the world) is its unpredictable nature. We don't know what we'll get from one season to the next. Hey, we don't know what we'll get from the Baltimore Ravens from one day to the next. Look at the bright side. We can never accuse them of being 'boring'. Each day brings new opportunities, and speaking of 'opportunity,' how about a hand to former Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin? He reportedly will join Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge as one of the newest members of the LSU Tigers coaching staff.

We mentioned football's unpredictable nature. Perhaps we should mention that it always evolves. The USC Trojans and Oregon Ducks now play in the Big Ten Conference. The Big Ten is home to 18 teams. The Big 12 also houses 16. Tee Martin did something with the Tennessee Volunteers that Peyton Manning couldn't. He led the Vols to a BCS National Championship Game win as their starting quarterback.

Martin's move to LSU is a reminder of how volatile the coaching landscape has become. Despite a strong résumé and years of NFL experience, landing an offensive role was far from guaranteed, but the former National Champion quarterback should have a place. With limited openings and increasing competition, even proven assistants are being forced to pivot. Martin's reunion with Lane Kiffin offers stability, but it also highlights how quickly opportunities can shift—and how adaptability is now essential for long-term coaching success.

He'll now lend his talents to the Bayou Bengals in an attempt to help them reach the mountaintop as the College Football Playoff national champions. The ability is there. We'll see if the results follow. Something tells us big things are coming at LSU.
