Brent Key; Hiring Details....

[okiemon]

All it takes is one reporter to ask him and one fumbled response to bring the story way out in the open. What worries me more is it being used against him on the recruiting trail:

“So Coach, I heard you said a while back that coming to GT was the worst mistake you ever made?”

I think I'm gonna give him credit for being smart and professional enough to handle any such questions. If CGC was worried about it, I'm sure they've come up with a game plan.

Ok, we would have to hire rookie coaches every time if we only wanted people who never negatively recruited against us. I'm pretty sure Roof negatively recruited against us at Duke and Auburn. Probably at Penn state and MN too....

LOL, so he leaves a job coaching a team that is considered the best of all college football to go back to his Alma Mater that he hates and that he thought was the biggest mistake of his life. Why would anyone believe that?

Maybe he lied when he said it?

Because you are 17?

 

[gtg391z]

Who is saying he said this?

 

[GoodBuzz]

So by the same reasoning, should we not hire a coach that has coached against us?

He was doing his job.

I don’t know what he said, but that’s what’s out there. Perception is reality, just ask Coach Collins.

My experience w buying and reorganizing company or projects , let's me get by this stuff that seems important to u. Once he gets public credit for something , most folks look for other issues.
U maybe right that he is fatally flawed and will damage coach Collins efforts to recruit. Also ran business devlopment and know that negative verbal comments by salesmen as regularly reported were way overblown.

Hoping u are wrong.

Oh that's what he said? Glad you were there to hear it. Please show where he said this?

that's my point buddy boy, no one knows what he said.

Interesting development: Dan Enos who was the QB coach for 'Bama and widely considered the front runner to take over the offense has left them to join Miami.

So Brent Key, Dan Enos, and Mike Locksley have all left.

'Bama is about to face unprecedented staff turnover. Of course, they have a bunch of former HCs serving in other roles that could probably just step up.

I’d guess 90% of the people on here who complain about negative recruiting love talking about how UGA degrees are worthless.

The reality is, GT fans make a bigger deal of it than recruits do. Not everyone rides the same high horse GT fans do.

For peaks sakes, EVERYONE knows Urban Meyer is less than credible, and that all he's interested in is winning...regardless of the cost of the culture on his teams. It's well documented the sketchy players he recruits and the stuff he lets go on with his players.

Yet, come February, there are his teams ranked in the top 5 in recruiting. You know why? Recruits don't value the same things fans do.

If you have issues with the way Key reportedly does recruiting (which I personally do as well), it's really your problem (not directing at you specifically Cheese, just anyone with concerns in general) not the recruits problem.

We are goign to miss CPJ the first time we punt on 4th and inches from the plus side of the 50.

Not if our defense doesn’t suck as bad as it has.

 

[Techster]

What if...and this is crazy...but what if OTHER coaches besides CPJ are willing to go for on 4th down as well?! I know, insane, right?

Their WR/Co-OC left to go to Michigan.

And then they say with pride , gt has zero easy classes because it would cause ga tech to..... ??
And by the way now almost all the kids at gt graduate. I am proud to be the older not as bright gt grads. Imo, the reputation for gt is about engr that find away to overcome.

I think worries about this guy being risk averse are just made up reasons to sow negativity .
This guy could turn into a mike leach - swing your sword
Then the same few will say too aggressive.
The guy said we will Attack in everything.

 

[first&ten]

@Supersizethatorder-mutt loved hearing him say he loves the White and Gold when it comes to the uniforms

Not only Supersize, but the Tech fans that do stand up and sing " Up With the White & Gold ".

I haven't seen one thing about CGC that says "risk averse". It seems the only thing he's averse to is being average. He certainly likes to put GT and "elite" in the same sentence at every opportunity.

Personally, I LOVE it.

It’s real simple for me, I don’t like anybody bad mouthing my university. But it’s even worse if it’s one of our own. But to this point it’s just hearsay, so I’m going to give Key the benefit of the doubt. But I do know a while back there was a lot of talk about it.
