Coach Brent Key Scenario

[TromboneJacket]

If I were the one making these decisions, here would be my thought process:

If Key gets Tech to a bowl game, he gets an interview.
If Key wins 6 games, he gets considered among the finalists.
If Key wins 7 games, he gets the job.
If Key wins 8 games, he gets a big contract.

Anything less than a bowl game and it’s probably best to move on.

Interestingly, Sam Pittman, Ark, & Phil Fulmer, TN, both came from the offensive line coaching “tree”. Maybe Key can emulate their success!!!

Then we play vt and uva.

This performance at least guarantees an interview. I’m just glad I’m not in the room making these decisions, but I hope it’s the right one. The wrong hire sets this program back a decade.

2017 VT was ranked 17th. Thats gotta be atleast even. but we did do that at home. Still given the record we had going into that game and the struggles we had in 2017 . They are probably 1A and 1B for most impressive victories in the past 6 years.

Who knows where this leads, but Key deserves a special place in our history for leadership in stabilizing things under such challenging conditions.
Goes beyond just doing his job, he’s a no b.s. GT man, and the players responded.

I’m still not in favor of making Key the permanent coach nor do I think we will actually consider it. That said, the more he wins, the more he builds his resume for other programs to see and the more appealing he makes this job look. Hopefully he keeps the momentum going.

Key has 8 games to make a case. If he manages to make a case for him to be the coach we have a birth in the ACC championship game and probably a win over UGA.

I’m not going to be a downer tonight but as great as this result is, it’s not worth a thing on its own. Enjoy it, it’s awesome, have fun. The next 7 will tell you what to make of tonight.

The UGA game is interesting. On one hand, winning that is the one thing I think could get him the job. On the other hand, I think we will already have a coach locked up before that game even happens, even if we don’t announce it.

This. But way too early to tell.
Who was the guy that won the bowl game for us then shown the door?
McDuffie?

I would love to see a tech man like CBK take over the program but I don't think it is going to give us the dynamic we need.
