General News about Key and his Staff

[AUFC]

This is too mature for the internet lol

Also pretty weird for dudes here to be dunking on a young professional working probably 70 hour weeks for like $50k/yr. The coaches making 6 and 7 figures are fair game for criticism.

Agreed. I thought morpheus did solid work, but saying that anything was halfway decent in the CGC era is sacrilege now.

Any new movement in the area of OC?

Watching some Purdue. Bryan Ellis cut his teeth under Tyson Helton, who was Jeff Brohms OC at WKU

One interesting tidbit I picked up from listening to an interview with a former player who’s close to the program was that Key is looking at getting a new special teams coordinator.

Amen to that.

We didn’t have one at all last season right?

Al Ciraldo and Kim King, 1985:

Good thing they didn’t have uniform threads back in the day. Those unis were black and mustard.

Doesn’t seem to be a very good source. The same person also is announcing that Thornton is going to Auburn.

 

[Sheboygan]

Thornton’s grandfather, Billy Shaw, played guard for the Buffalo Bills and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Class of 1999). Shaw also starred at Georgia Tech prior to embarking on his pro career.

Interesting. Here’s another link that just cropped up on Jake Thornton;

Sounds pretty definite at Ole Miss. Then again, Willie was coming to Tech......

Now I know how KS feels.

He may get paid more than you do to be wrong though.

What a good get. Still sad GT was too cheap to retain him.

Ironically, it wasn’t that. He was the “Interim DC” and we cut him loose because we wanted someone with experience

I’ll have to go back. From what I remember, CPJ wanted to keep him and even offered him, but FSU paid him more to be co-DC. I could be remembering incorrectly but that in my recollection.

Quick edit: it looks like one poster back in 2014 was saying Kelly was interviewed and did not get the job. Maybe I am thinking of something else. Regardless, I wish we had kept him instead of the direction we went.

If I remember correctly, it was a timing issue. He did interview but got the offer from FSU before he was offered by Tech and went to be a position coach for more money than we were going to pay the DC. He left before the offer was made. That's my recollection off the top of my head.
