DONE! It's just a way to distract and refocus on Key's Staff staff

Yeah, I am way up north (still metro Atlanta), maybe 35 miles as crow flies to GT, and traffic is a nightmare all day long, NOT just morning and evening rush hour. Every time I go out I see a new housing developement or townhome or worse, huge apartment complex and never are the roads being...

Chip Long did not impress in his prior OC gig and not impressing me at GT, either before or after CGC. We need a big improvement in OC and offensive planning/playcalling. DC Thacker, I can live with him being retained, but I would be open to a more aggressive/proven DC as well. Just hope we...

I voted 3, "Some valid reasons why he was hired, but also many real concerns. Cautiously optimistic." I am not sure I would have voted 1 for anyone. I always have a cautious/cynical side of my brain stirring up trouble. I am fully behind CBK. Maybe he'll be okay. As others noted, staying...

Well, that and hiring horrible coaches on ludicrous contracts that we end up paying for 5 years after they coached their last game. I'd say that is the bigger issue, ineptitude in the search, vet and hire process. It's not like we completely cheaped out on Collins or Hewitt.

AMEN. The only thing holding GT football back are apologists trying to convince us that 6 wins a lowest tier bowl is all GT intangibles will allow. I feel bad for these folks. Too many excuses and not enough desire.

You might be right. I still think they'd have canned him after year 2 at least. That guy was a train wreck and then taking a college job only to switch and take Falcons job in same month...guy is a sleezeball.

I am not excited or disappointed. It has the feel of a meh hire. Could be better, could be worse. I will now transition to a CBK fan and HOPE a change in scheme/OC/DC excites me, that or pleasant surprises in recruiting. At least the CGC chapter is now closed. We still have a coach from...

How do you know he was a fallback? Key knew a coaching search was ongoing AND that he was INTERIM coach. That's about as clear as it gets. I am sure they did not tell him if they offered another coach and said coach declined. Key didn't need to know and he shouldn't care honestly. Same...

Uh, our Geoff Collins was that DC from UGA...Brian VanGorder. He nearly destroyed the football program and he was more effective than Geoff Collins, it only took one season. At least GSU AA was smart enough to jettison...post haste. I say our, I am not GSC alum (was college at the time), but...

This is one consideration. It's completely unknown. If reports of pop warner type practices are true, half-speed, padless, whatever, then yeah, Brent Key should get a moderate pass for OL play. That said, it should not be a huge bump up either. He was part of the coaching staff. It's a...

I was just about to say the same thing. Key could be the next great coach, but chances are very low. Players like him? Sure, they like anyone with a heartbeat that isn't Geoff Collins. Key just feels like a .500 level coach and I am wanting so much more than .500 records and possible bowl...

Retention of what? We NEED a dozen plus players to go for the portal. We have a bad roster. If any of the players are reading this comment, I hope they understand I mean no ill will, but we have a roster full of 3 star and lower players and many of those on the bottom end of the 3 star pile...

If we win the ACC and get into CFP playoffs, he can come and go as he pleases. I do agree, there is more risk/unknown with Deion. I am not the least bit interested in a mediocre HC that sticks around because no other higher tier program wants him. I'd rather we cycle through 3 coaches and...

Pump the brakes fellas. UGA struggled with Vandy and most likely their players weren't too concerned with GT. It may have been a refreshing game plan and effort, but just staying around good teams only to lose soundly is not the upside I want to see. IHCBK is growing on me, but it still feels...

I still say Deion and we'll regret not offering/hiring him, at least that is if he's even interested. I'd think he is given it's Atlanta, but hey, maybe he said not interested already.

Sounding like I may have to judge our hire against Colorado's in a couple of years. I still think if there is a way to get Deion, we need to get him. That's only my opinion though. I could see Colorado going from 1-10 to 10-1 in two seasons with Deion.

I am holding steady with Deion because he provides the most upside of any candidate. It's true, he also has a bigger bust potential, but the upside is NC with him. I don't feel that upside with any other candidate. It's possible IF an offensive guru actually finds and hires a very good DC...

I'll pout only because it means GT football will remain irrelevant for several more years. I only have so many years left, it would be nice to field a HC that can get us back on the National scene. Brent Key ain't it. I'll root for whomever they hire, but Key would be unexciting. A lot would...

Yeah, talk about settling. I don't get it at all. Why even fire CGC if we simply shrug our collective shoulders and say "meh, just give Key 5 year deal and lets forget about football for a while"? At least we would be down even more money.
