While Tee Martin would be a great fit as the next head football coach at Tennessee, former Volunteers star Albert Haynesworth doesn't see it happening due to his race.

"I don't think it's necessarily racism, but I think it's more like placism," Haynesworth said in a video on TMZ Sports. "They don't think a black candidate can lead UT, or maybe they just don't want a black candidate leading UT."

Haynesworth questioned the program not interviewing any black candidates.
