Former USC play-caller and national title-winning Tennessee quarterback Tee Martin wants to call plays next season at Miami, according to national analyst Andy Slater.

The Miami Herald reported Friday that Richt was exploring all options in terms of assistant coaches after a disappointing finish, including a possible replacement on offense.

Martin was one of the Trojans' top recruiters and had been on staff since 2012, but was relieved of his duties in November when USC coach Clay Helton decided he wanted to go in another direction with freshman quarterback JT Daniels and the offense in 2019 and beyond.

Martin played quarterback in the SEC before a six-year career in the pros. He began his coaching career in 2006 at Morehouse and developed into an ace on the recruiting trail shortly thereafter.

Exiting bowl season, the Hurricanes rank 105th in yards per game (359) and 113th in passing yards per game (167.3). They mustered only 169 yards of total offense against the Badgers.

Miami opened the season No. 8 in the AP Poll before suffering a loss to LSU. Things spiraled from there.

"Offensively, there's not many nuggets you can really pull from today," Richt said after this week's bowl loss to Wisconsin. "My guess is it wasn't a very good performance, just put it that way, obviously. Starts with me, for sure. Really that's where the buck stops.

"Head football coach, play-caller, the whole bit. Just a poor job by me. Didn't do a good enough job to get the first downs and the yardage and the touchdowns that we needed to stay in this game. Just didn't happen tonight obviously."

Earlier this month, it appeared Miami quarterback Jarren Williams was transferring out of the program, but has since decided to stay.

The No. 5 pro-style quarterback prospect in the class 0f 2018, Williams signed with the Hurricanes after being a longtime Kentucky commit. He played in one game for Miami this season (completing one pass for 17 yards against FCS Savannah State), preserving his redshirt. Miami see-sawed between quarterbacks Malik Rosier and N'Kosi Perry throughout its 7-5 season.

"He excited us with what he did on the All-Star Circuit last year, particularly in terms of his accuracy and his competitive nature," said 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons. "I am surprised he wasn't a starter at Miami, I expected him to win that job as a freshman, so I definitely think he has the ability to be a starter."
