I don’t know how to feel about the bye weeks. On one hand, conventional wisdom would suggest that having more bye weeks is an advantage, especially when they fall before important opponents. On the other hand, we have a terrible record coming off bye weeks under Coach Key. Hopefully that changes.

And given that injury list and his age, he probably doesn’t have much chance of getting drafted. Might as well let him have one more year.

I kind of feel like we will hate the man less if our offense lights up his defense. If he somehow manages to shut down our offense, we will all be livid and collectively have the exact same thought: “Where the @&$% was this defensive acumen when he was at Tech?!”

Key was on Saban’s staff at the same time as Karl Scott. With Pete Carroll retiring and his staff being told to start looking for jobs, maybe he got a call from Brent Key.

I think Brent could have done well at the Bama job, but his resume isn’t full enough yet for them to consider him. If the AD had hired someone who was only 1.5 years into being a head coach whose best record was 7-6, the Alabama boosters and fanbase would be out for blood.

I’ve had the end of semester extra class dream too. Fortunately I’ve never had the group project dream. Probably because I lived something similar: near the end of my last semester at Tech, I found out that one of my project group members hadn’t done his part at all, and I found this out the...

I think you’re right, and I think if Brumfield is worth his salt, we’ll be much improved in coverage next season because it takes less practice time to maintain a skill than to develop one, so he should be able to spend more time on coverage and less time on the stuff that he already fixed.

Thacker and Tillman are still at the bottom of the coaching staff list without titles.

If it’s true, then I like the hire. He’s coached some pretty good defenses.

I would argue that Tech is one of the few schools that have matched that with Heisman, Alexander, and Dodd. Ironically, if Dodd had hung it up earlier, we probably could have gotten a fourth in Frank Broyles.

Maybe we’ll be running multiple sets, and certain players will have DE responsibilities in some sets and OLB responsibilities in others. So they get coached along with anyone who would be considered a Will or Sam linebacker.

I don’t know that Bala would be the right choice. He barely has any DC experience, and it sounds like he didn’t do very well in those roles. Given his resume, I’d rather go with Ted Roof. And I’d rather go with Scherrer than Roof. At a minimum, whoever we hire needs to be more promising than...

He sounds like a good husband. I’m sure he was very happy to have you on his journey with him.

Hahahahahaha! Chances are that by the time we play them, the only remnants from his staff still at Tech will be Key and Weinke. Key is no longer the OL coach, and Weinke is coaching players who weren’t around when MoBS was. You think G**** C****** has this game circled? Key probably hates MoBS...

As he deserved. It’s okay to feel like the rebuild will take a while and to expect that the head coach needs a fairly long leash to accomplish it. However, as the Athletic Director, he was the one who could make the decision to keep or fire the head coach, regardless of the contract. As was...

What I’ve heard is that until he got to Tech he had a habit of taking jobs that good coaches had left and riding the coattails of his predecessors to give the impression that he was good at his job. It makes sense. Look at his predecessors at those jobs: Manny Diaz at Mississippi State (and...

I bet CPJ will offer us free consulting services for that game. He really doesn’t like the MoBS and would love to watch us steamroll his defense.

I don’t think the idea that we got lucky at that point in that game is the point of contention; I’m pretty sure the controversial part is extrapolating from that one data point to conclude that the biggest comparative advantage Brent Key has over other head coaches is luck. And my counter...

No matter how he does for them, this is good for us because there was no way we were ever going to hire him again, and this means UNC won’t be competing with us for the candidate(s) we are going after.
