Martin has had a chance to prove himself at the BCS school level, and has shown he is a very average coach. Underwood has had 1 year to prove himself, and has pretty much shown the same. I personally think Underwood has more upside at this point.

Acting like you know more than the guy guiding a team to the #1 offense in the country is bold. Underwood is the better coach. It's not even all that close. Martin's been to the tournament twice in nine years with a boat load of talent. He coached in the SEC while it had 2 good teams and a bunch of awful ones. The Pac-12 isn't a whole lot different.
Wait a minute, I could be emailing Prohm this whole time to discuss offensive strategies with him? I'm all over that, and I'm going to email Jamie and Campbell too.

Underwood seems like he's kind of a buttfor.
He's like his tree, Hugs and Frank. Either love or hate him. Personally, I'm not into the bigger than the game coaches. I'll take your guy, Mark Few, X's Mack, Kruger and the like over "look at me" Cal and Frank's of the world.

Underwood was introduced with his family at last night's NIT game in C-U which must have been a little uncomfortable for the existing staff.

“There’s very few programs that have the tradition, the culture, the success that this program has,” Underwood said ...
