Brent Key tweet and apology

[LargeFO]

Key has to use better common sense. He’s getting hammered on that tweet. Understandably.

Yeahhhhhhhhh bad timing and lack of sensitivity

What are you talking about? I thought I read all the tweets, and I don't remember one by Key.

Assuming you mean this one:

@CoachBrentKey: GT has always, and will continue to attract GREAT MEN. Today we lost a GREAT MAN, and gained another GREAT MAN! Even in dark days the future is bright.

I see what he was trying to do and why. But I think he’d have been better off deleting it and explaining why he deleted it.

It’s important to hold off a bit and think about how the family and friends would view the comment before posting on social media, or here too. We have parents and possibly players on this board.

If someone ever wants a moderator to delete one of their own posts, use the “report” button and just let us know you’d like to pull it.

Key took his tweet down. I agree that it missed the mark in its tone and wasn't eloquent, but presume he meant well.

I got what his intention was but you have to have some timing and space for a tragedy.

Brent needs to apologize.
Internally of course, players, coaches, and family.

Adams would probably be the first to forgive and shrug it off. But yes. He should apologize to the family and team.

He has

It was a bad tweet and it rubbed me the wrong way and I can understand if teammates/family are turned off by it, but I think he meant well and if he apologized, all is forgiven, in my opinion.

I also wish the recruit waited a day to announce his decision. Yesterday was a day to remember Brandon.

Recruit probably knew nothing about it.

His commitment tweets included the post regarding his passing. He was very aware.

I saw that yesterday but couldn't find it to show Whiskey

If someone takes offense to the recruits commitment tweet then they are a snowflake. He showed the utmost respect in his tweet and made the commitment not about himself, but the Tech family.

This is going south real fast. I hate that this is overshadowing the legacy of a wonderful life, tragically lost

Very ill-advised tweet by Coach Key in my opinion

Yes, but if he has apologized, which he supposedly has, then let it rest.

 

[ATL1]

It will blow up on social media. As long as the players and family feel it’s sincere it should fade quickly.

This should be about Brandon and Brandon only at this time.

The tweet was a mistake, we make mistakes. It’s an emotional time for everyone right now I’m sure CBK feels awful, the recruit is in high school probably thought he was doing a good thing during a dark time. Have some grace.
