[QUOTE="GTLorenzo, post: 916735, member: 359"] I think this is generally correct. Clearly Collins had his hand in just about every bucket, including on offense, who to recruit, etc. and didn't allow his hired staff to do their jobs. Not sure if this was a reaction to doing it "his way" or that he was under fire from the start of what, but just based on the results since he was let go, something wasn't right during his tenure. I'd be fine with Key or Chadwell or whoever Batt likes. I do think Key deserves an interview because I think he has done an exceptional job based on where the team was the day he was named interim coach. I didn't want him to be the interim coach, but he has shocked me with the turn around in the program since he took over. Is he perfect? No. But he's a heck of a lot better than the last guy. Clearly a seasoned football coach. Should we hire him just based on 8 games, probably not. His biggest plus is his relationship to the program and his clear love for Georgia Tech. Does that make him the best candidate? Likely no. With regard to recruiting and your comments with another poster on the OL, I read somewhere (not sure if it was here or somewhere else), that Collins was recruiting OLs based on measurables, but not on talent. Someone mentioned a kid getting offered and committing from South Georgia maybe (?) who had the size, but who everyone who say him play every week knew wasn't a high DI prospect. Reportedly, Collins wanted him because he was a 6'4", 300 lb guy, but with no talent. I think that is what the other poster was getting at with regard to recruiting OLs and how Collins had his thumb on the scale as compared to who Key wanted to recruit. Collins' tenure could not have been more of a mess and after the last 8 weeks, I'm willing to give most of the staff a pass on their time when Collins was the coach. Just look at the D and what Thacker has done since Collins left. The D is actually generally playing really well. I don't know how Collins finds a job (if he wants one) after this change in the team the past 8 weeks. Just a total indictment of his ability to lead a team. [/QUOTE]
