That contract was funded by two billionaires. Big 10 money didn’t even matter.

The problem is, I don't know how to judge his resume at Alabama. The year after he left Alabama's OL was ranked 3rd in the country by PFF. The year after that they were 9th and won the NC again. Maybe they hired another incredible OL coach and kept things going or maybe they had enough talent...

Just so im hearing this correctly, you think Key was just as important to Alabama as O'Leary was to GT in the Ross years?

Im not sure being an OL coach at Alabama has quite the difficulty level of being the coordinator of a top 20 defense at GT. Key actually stepped up to a coordinator position at UCF. It didn't go well.

O'Leary was the DC for our national championship team and had pretty highly ranked defenses the entire time under Ross. That's not quite the same situation.

I think it's mostly about Key himself. There is a portion of the fan base that loves Key and has been willing to overlook or even defend significant OL issues for the past few years. Whether it's because he is a Tech man, or because he coached under Saban, I don't know, but he generally gets...

I think it's worse but not really because of Collins so much as the changes in college football in general. Coaching salaries have blown up to ridiculous levels in that time frame which we can't compete with. NIL now exists and im not sure we are a big player in that department. Expansion is...

That makes no sense with what we currently know. The defensive staff is why he beat Pitt. The offense was terrible.

Duke opened as a 1.5 point favorite at home against an obviously terrible UVA team. In my best Rodney Dangerfield voice: They get no respect.

That really just depends on whether you think the rest of this season is a large enough sample size to commit to this staff for 4-5 more years and disregard the fact that they played a large role in the darkest time the program has ever seen.

It will really depend on the coach. We won't have a home game this year with better attendance than their spring game. We can't compete with their fan base or their money.

If Collins was single handedly holding everyone back and the team continues to improve then what sense would it make to shake up the staff? Wouldn’t Keys success be their success as well?

Doubt this happens but it’s out there.

So, I’m curious for those who are favoring Key as the permanent head coach. Do you also favor keeping the entire staff in tact and extending them?

That contract was funded by 2 guys whose combined net worth is over 10 billion dollars. They will be fine.

Plus some of us remember the feeling last year after the UNC game. That was a similar game against a ranked team where we played great on defense, had no turnovers, and only 5 penalties. Everything looked and felt different. The emotion made us think we turned a corner. I’ll be a bit more...

This seems about right. I wish we were playing Miami now while they are working through their issues.

Hall really wasn’t doing much until late in the 4th quarter. I think Dontae not playing was certainly a reaction to something.

Maybe. We will likely only be favored against one of the “easy part”. Hard to guess where we might end up. The coastal will be fun to watch.

The coastal is a hilarious dumpster fire. Duke really may be the best team.
