What Tee Martin said about returning to Neyland Stadium in 2026
Tee Martin, who served as an assistant coach at Tennessee from 2019 to 2020, will return to Neyland Stadium this season when LSU visits in November.
“He’s (Kiffin) already started — I’m trying to work out and he’s blasting Rocky Top in the weight room,” said Tee Martin recently when asked about returning to Knoxville as an opponent. “It’s good. It’s all fun. You’ve got to have the narrative, you’ve got to have the excitement. That game was going to be big before I even got here. So, it just added a little bit to it.
“But it’s always great to go back to Neyland. It’s always great to play that type of competition. They’re doing really well as well. So I don’t even know how I’m going to feel. You know, my kids live there. I have four grandkids that live in Knoxville, so I’m going to be about that. And we’ll play the game and let the chips fall where they may.”
Tee Martin is serving as an offensive analyst for the Tigers.
