Martinez enters transfer portal

From the sounds of it, Frost and Martinez went into the meeting with (generally) both wanting Martinez to return.  But there was discussion about the path forward (looking at the transfer market, who the OC/QB coach would be, etc.) and Martinez wanted a guarantee that we wouldn't bring in a transfer.  I don't know all Frost's reasons but if nothing else given Martinez's current medical condition and who might be hired as OC, Frost wasn't willing to give that guarantee.  So Martinez decided to move on.

So there is quite a bit of room on either side to place the blame for who did or did not want him coming back.  But it doesn't really sound like "Frost wanted to move on" is probably entirely accurate.  More like "Frost wanted options."
Martinez did NOT ask for a guarantee. 

 
It seems likely Adrian feels the offense will change radically enough he didn’t want to go that way for a final year.  If he has NFL aspirations, he may want to see what he show with alternative NFL type offensive scheme and a different coach.  Just my guess.  

 
Can't lie. I wish all the guys that have left NU success. It's not personal.  I'd have liked some of the guys to have waited until the staff was announced settled.  Maybe even talk to the new position to get a no BS assessment before you pop smoke.  Then again, get out while teams are still looking and before they sign recruits.  Again, it's a business.
