Clay Helton is apparently taking an ax to USC football’s coaching staff in a bid to repair the damage of a 5-7 season, and offensive coordinator Tee Martin is the latest on the chopping block.
Martin “will not return as USC’s offensive coordinator,” Zach Barnett of Football Scoop reported on Tuesday. Ryan Abraham of USCFootball.com and Adam Maya of TrojansSports.com also reported the departure.
One of USC’s longest-tenured assistants, Martin was appointed offensive coordinator by head coach Clay Helton when his interim tag was removed. Martin has been an accomplished wide receivers coach for the Trojans since 2012 and his elevation to offensive coordinator was not unexpected.
