AJC reporting Fritz is the guy

[GaTech4ever]

One thing to consider is that GSU assistant coach Dell McGee coached GSU’s bowl game after Fritz left for Tulane…

If GT is serious about ponying up and paying what it takes, stealing Dell from UGAg as OC and potentially HC in waiting sounds nice….

Has Dell McGee ever called plays (other than the one game)?

 

[JacketOff]

Say in the event Fritz is hired and we bring Dell McGee on board in some capacity. Maybe OC, maybe just RB coach and AHC. Brent Key goes to UGA to be their OL coach and AHC.

How would y’all feel in that scenario? Do we win that trade? Is it a wash? Is Key more valuable at UGA than McGee would be here?

Georgia is not going to hire a Tech man to be a coach on their staff. We have hired a few Dawgs to be assistant coaches over the years but that was without my approval.

Go Jackets!

Do you really think Georgia cares about somebody being a Tech guy? The best coach in UGA history before Kirby was an Auburn man. Dell McGee, possibly the best recruiter on their staff is from Auburn. As of now Georgia fans hate Auburn a lot more than they hate Tech. Auburn at least poses a semblance of a threat. Tech is like another game against Kentucky or Vandy. Just fodder to fill out their schedule.

Georgia literally does not care where you went to school, or played, or coached at before if you can help them win games now. That’s how we should act too. If you really think Georgia wouldn’t hire Brent Key solely because he’s a Tech man you’re sorely mistaken, and pretty sophomoric.

coaching a bowl game a few years ago for lower tier school qualifies him to be coach in waiting here?

Not to be rude, but y’all do realize what a big time name McGee is, right? And that he’s been an AHC at UGAg? And that he has been a hot name considered as a possibility for other P5 jobs?

WSB reporting this morning that Tech is “finalizing a deal” with Fritz. They may have just read Ken’s article and reported that news. Who knows?

This is a probable scenario.

This is a probable scenario.

I would give that probability as about 0.01%. Key is not going to Ugag if he does not become head coach here.

Fritz may have wanted this kept quiet until his season is over. **** Sheridan pulled out of a deal to coach at UGA when they leaked it early before his bowl game and he was at Furman. Went to NCSU instead.

I do realize that he’s been considered as a HC… but has he been considered as an OC if he’s never called plays in his career? Legitimately asking, not to be rude.

I get it. With a Fritz hire you’re getting Fritz offense. Being the OC doesn’t necessarily mean the game plan and all playcalling are on you.

Georgia hired our OL coach under GOL and RF. As has been said if they can help them win they don't care, like was also said that should be the same with us. CFB is all about winning ( and tailgating)

 

[Lotta Booze]

He's also currently listed as the run game coordinator at uga. I don't know how much game planning/play calling is included in that role (if any) but it at least sounds more involved and closer to an OC role than just having the RB coach title alone.

 

[UgaBlows]

Anyone contemplated that Tulane could turn around and hire Key? We could watch him coach in a NYE bowl, then He‘d probably pull half our damn team with him.

Assistant Head Coach, passing game coordinator, run game coordinator, Co-Defensive coordinator....mostly ceremonial and comes with a nice bump in pay to say "We're not giving you a full promotion you want, but we understand how important you are us so take this giant suitcase full of money and new business cards with a spiffy new title under your name."

For starters, if Key is not hired and goes to UAB and Pyron follows then good luck for the next couple of years.

Tar and Feather a certain AD if that happens

Pyron would be foolish to leave if someone known for developing QBs comes in. Playing under a QB guru, at a Power 5 school, and getting an education at GT is giving up a LOT to follow Key to UAB.

I remember when newspaper writers needed a quote and a confirmation to run a story in the paper. The story is still running, but I don’t think they got the second source.
