“The last guy I want to talk about is Coach Willie Martinez. We’ve been together at our previous stop at Oklahoma and also where I got to know him and his family over the last three years at UCF. He’s been inside of this league for over 15 years, both as a positions coach and 10 years as a coordinator as well. He brings a tremendous amount of wealth and knowledge and is a great recruiter. He’s a great human being with a great family and is going to provide a lot of insight on that side of it. He’s a great teacher of the game, and you just look at who he is and what he’s been able to do everywhere he’s been with NFL players at every stop. He’s known as one of the elite coaches in the secondary position.” — Josh Heupel on Willie Martinez
