Willie Martinez?
As of today the Georgia athletic department has stated that they will not retain defensive coordinator Willie Martinez.
This would be a great replacement and addition to the staff if Hoza where to leave the program.
A little bio on Martinez-
1985-86, Miami (Grad. Asst.)
1988, Bethune-Cookman (Quarterbacks / Wide Rec.)
1989-90, Boca Raton H.S. (Def. Backs)
1991, Olympic Heights H.S.- Boca Raton, Fla. (Def. Coord. / Def. Backs)
1992-93, Grand Valley State (Def. Coord. / Def. Backs)
1994, Central Michigan (Def. Backs)
1995-96, Central Florida (Def. Coord. / Def. Backs)
1997, Eastern Michigan (Def. Backs)
1998-99, Central Michigan (Def. Backs)
2000, Central Michigan (Asst. Head Coach / Def.)
2001-04, Georgia (Secondary)
2005-09, Georgia (Defensive Coordinator / Secondary).
Playing Experience:
Miami (1981-84) Def. back… Member of the 1983 National Championship team.
Hollywood Hills H.S. (1977-81) Quarterback and defensive back…team captain.
I'm sure he still has connections with Howard and he is a local product of the area. Could make a great coach or coach in waiting,

Why would we take somebody who did a terrible job somewhere else?
He didn't do too well at Georgia, but that doesn't mean he can't have success in the SBC. Georgia is a pressure-cooker for college football and he would still be an improvement over what we have now.
He obviously had success at Central Michigan and his other earilier stops so I think his overall track record speaks to his positive accomplishments as a coach. I like him as an option.
