Let's parse the denial:
“That’s obviously where I went to college and where I played ball but, man, I don’t know where those came from — where the rumors came from but I’m here at Alabama,” Key said, per AL.com’s Michael Casagrande. “I have not accepted the job at Georgia Tech. It’s all about these guys and what we’re doing right now.”
Key also denied interviewing with Georgia Tech and new head coach Geoff Collins.
“Nope,” he said. “I don’t know where it came from.”
Key expressed surprise when he heard the reports linking to his alma mater.
“Yeah,” he said. “Nobody has called me.”
I have not accepted the job at Georgia Tech.
True. He's still coaching at 'Bama. He probably hasn't signed paperwork to accept our offer. In that sense, he's not lying to anyone.
It’s all about these guys and what we’re doing right now.
Well duh, RIGHT NOW you're coaching in the national championship game at the premier football program. You're doing your job RIGHT NOW, and not at GT...yet.
Key also denied interviewing with Georgia Tech and new head coach Geoff Collins.
Most likely 100% true...because CGC knows Key well enough, and Key knows CGC and GT well enough that it's not like an interview is needed.
“Yeah,” he said. “Nobody has called me.”
Most likely 100% true as well...doesn't mean no one has called his agent. Doesn't mean his agent hasn't passed on all the relevant information and Key hasn't made a decision. That's what agents are for...plausible deniability.
