[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 923588, member: 4572"] I think had Deion been in the same situation in 2018 after Paul retired as he is now, it would’ve probably been a really good idea to go after him hard. He’s basically the Gucci version of Geoff Collins (or you could say GC is the Great Value version of Deion). We would’ve had more money and more flexibility had he not worked out here. His sort of self promotion would have without a doubt changed the perception of Georgia Tech football, and there would’ve been more substance there than we got out of Collins. But after 3+ years of incompetence and tearing our program down, Deion was way too big of a risk for us to take. Especially with our financials the way they are. We needed someone who was going to provide some stability and get us out of the dumpster. Key will be able to do that, the fact he loves GT as much as he does is just an added bonus. I think Key is a great leader and a great coach that players love. We’ll see if he’s able to parlay that into more national prominence by competing for conference championships at some point in the future. But we just couldn’t afford another failed experiment at the moment. I don’t know if Deion will fail at CU, but I do know he’s a way riskier hire than Key is. [/QUOTE]
