He also said he is not one to go back on his word. Honestly if King transferred I would lose hope in anyone staying going forward. Guy seems to love Ga. Tech and we gave him a shot when no one else did.
And no one else would?
He was recruited by his TAM teamate Lane who came in portal. Then Chris Wienke, who recruited him to Tennessee reached out.
they heard Coach Key s vision and saw the Tech way. Imo, they never shopped around.
Key had him when he only talked about Championship NOW. Haynes wants a championship. I think thier is a bond between them.
He came when we had a terrible defense. It was terrible his first year. It was improved this year and at end they were good. (But what will we have in dl next year). This year the run game was mostly king.
The UGA game when was tough. He was hurt in unc and rehabilitated while playing. They let him pass down field instead of side ways and we are up 27-to 13 with 5 to go . Then the prevent defense 3 man line with soft coverage ldt them get up off mat. (That same defense is what we played in first half of Sycuse game) . The way we lost the lead hurt, but Haynes is Texas Tough.
Haynes dad will get together with haynes after he finshes coaching in tex high school playoffs. He only has 2 games to go. Iirc in last game longview w 2 d1 players schemed up a way for rb to get 300yds against desoto w 10 d1 players 50-14. Longview which is in deep east texas is 2 games from another stste championship. They are now playing 2 passing teams from uppity weat of fort worth. Haynes grew up with a chip on his shoulder
Anyway as highly knowledgable football coaching types they will discuss things from all football angles as they lead to gt winning a championship.
Then they will talk to Key about what gt is doing about portal and grad losses in dl and especially in OL.
If thier plans for winning can be aligned and the come out with the attitude "its us agsinst the world" , Haynes will be solid.
After that meeting Haynes can say 100%.
