Let’s win a lot of football games first and “the brand” will take care of itself.

L I just wanted to bump up ‘ol gtme2000’s post back up over here, because it is based on facts and should be memorized by everyone here.

Ken based his article primarily on the comments and feedback he solicited from a small selection of metro-area high school football coaches. He did not conduct a more thorough, detailed study of how the GT football recruiting program has actually operated over the past several years. Now that...

Cool! Thanks!

That “coaching search” conducted by TFAD wasn’t really a serious search, was it?

I would also like to note that the ability of any Offensive Coordinator to game-plan and call “a great offensive game” is directly dependent on the quality of the OL, the QB, the RBs and WRs, etc. Like ‘ol former GT Head Coach Pepper Rodgers said: “I’ve proved that I could win with good...

I have no idea who Coach Key has in mind for his OC. I also don’t think any of us know who would be Coach Key’s no. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. preferred OC candidates, either, as he is undoubtedly busy calling and asking the one(s) he wants to gauge whether he (or additional others) would be willing to...

I checked off box no. 2. My first preference was Willie Fritz, due to his long experience and record as a head coach. I believe, from what I’ve read, that Fritz was definitely interested in becoming the head coach at GT, and had a good interview with J Batt. However, Fritz wasn’t satisfied at...

Very nice piece by Ken Sugiura: https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/29-years-later-brent-key-fills-mentor-george-olearys-job-at-georgia-tech/B3A7TXNBMBAEBLDW53BT3ZCQW4/

Great point. I’d love to see a FCS-style playoff system for the FBS schools. Problem is, all the Bowl people will very strongly resist it … wayyyy too much money involved.

And made by Russell Southern.

Yes! Next step—in the not too distant future, I hope—is 16 teams.

The brand is The Georgia Institute of Technology.

No. Just don’t carry and show off the Waffle House cup and wave it around around after you finish eating at the Waffle House.

Need to remove all 404 and ATL signs and logos from the scoreboards, the football field, and the football helmets and uniforms. As well as any that are still existing on the entire campus.

More light bulbs may have finally clicked on inside the young Thacker’s head since Coach Elite Motormouth was fired.

I’m very happy that Brent Key got the job. He is just the best man for the job, all things considered. I’m not buckling up for instant success, though. I’m buckling up for slow and steady progress over the next several years on two important things: - The football team’s W-L record; and - The...

Yes, I agree. Ken did a great job in trying to keep readers updated. I believe Coach Fritz did, in fact, want the GT job, and he and Mr. Batt agreed to proceed with contract negotiations. In the end, Coach Fritz was not satisfied with the terms of the written contract once it was offered — and...
