[QUOTE="Jacket05, post: 899979, member: 2642"] I have been thinking about this and I am torn. It sounds like he has already made a ton of changes to how they practice and prep so if we start winning games it is likely because of him. It also would seem to validate the rumors that Collins had too much control over the operations and decisions that it handcuffed some of the coaches from being successful. Additionally with the almost completely new staff this year we actually showed glimpses of great things through the first few games but had the same issues of discipline and game day coaching snafoos that have been a constant thread through Collins' tenure. Key seems to have a big focus with his changes on discipline and also talked about playing to win rather than to not lose which I feel has been the way Collins has coached (i.e. running the clock out at the end of the first halves rather than trying to score. If Key does stay though, I would get rid of at least Thacker cause he is still so closely tied to Collins. On the other side, I believe the administration and a lot of the fans are ready for a complete gutting of the football staff and starting over, which I completely get. This is evident in that the interim AD was not promoted from within the athletics department so as to get a fresh perspective moving forward. Additionally a new AD will want to be the one to hire his own coach to put his stamp on the program. Regardless, this coaching staff should be doing whatever they can to win now as it is basically an interview for their next job whether here or somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
