All of us feel like our hearts got ripped out.

But the more i sit back and review it the more i realized that big money protected their new investment. Fact is. “If the game got close” the calls dramatically shifted. Both the calls and no calls. We had almost no flags the whole game. Then it became laundry fest. And uga played almost clean football. It was rigged. Many games are. They are not controlled the whole 60 mins. They are situationally controlled. It happened. Period.

Will make it impossible to watch anymore. Its fake.
This. As far as “outside interests” were able, we weren’t winning last night.

I am fully behind Key and I wasn’t always. I bought into the criticisms cast his way when he was at UCF and recruiting against us. Well he’s one helluva recruiter and now it’s for the good guys! In-game coaching will come with experience.

He also has a good eye for coaching talent and that’s a huge part of the game. I think we’re in good hands. Just need time to build quality depth across the board. Last night was a game of attrition between two evenly matched teams. The deeper team prevailed and even that required home cooking!

There are things you can teach. And things you can't. Brent Key has all the unteachable characteristics of a leader we so desperately needed when TFG was shown the door, and many of the other things. And the things he doesn't, he (and his coaching staff) are working to get 1% better, each day.

And then there are the intangibles.



From the beginning I've been glad he brought that to our team. I'm still thrilled to have him as our HC, and hope he and the rest of the coaching staff stick around as long as possible. Thanks, Coach, for taking on the build, and hitting milestones ahead of schedule. Looking forward to what the future brings.

Coach Key has a solid message to the recruits and with wins and efforts like last night, his vision for the program will come to light. Looking forward to the future.

Key is the real deal. Still has some things to learn about being a HC and managing games, but I'm so optimistic for the future. Loves GT, loves winning, and hates losing. Knows how to evaluate coaching and player talent. The future is bright on the flats with Key in charge.
This is why we are top 30 in recruiting and bringing studs in from the transfer portal. These kids today see what’s going on in Atlanta baby and want to be a part of it.

I am glad Coach Ky came to Tech and even more glad that the shackles were finally removed. He has proven a sound coach and has put us in position to win in every game. We didn't win 5 of them, but the execution and coaching have been just fine.

Some here think Tech is on the verge of being a consistent big winner with him at the helm. The jury is still out win that, imho, but he has returned the program to respectability. Key appears to be excellent at developing players and spotting talent that can grow into the job; remember, Philo was a 3 star. I think, however, everyone needs to remember that everybody else is striving every fiber to get better as well. I know one thing: Coach Key will be out there to win every single contest and have the team ready. That's what Tech needs.
