I’d be ok with Key as Oline coach. Not sure about anything more than that.

Once Coach Collins makes his OC selection, it will certainly come under the microscope of all GT fans on this board.

LOL

I'll need to go get a microscope so I can join in the talk.

Would he be better than sewak, who has many years experience?

 

[ATL1]

Why isn’t/wasn’t Key in the running for OC of BAMA?

The great He of the missed assignments.

I would expect the new coach to discipline the position coaches till they sell depart.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

I don't want him to hire any of his friends. He needs the ability to fire them if they don't perform.

A wet towel would be a better coach than Sewak

Wow. The scores make the 0 - 11 look even worse for an OC.

Maybe/hopefully he could be our OL coach. They have 2 at Alabama. He shares duties.

I really have a bad feeling that he's bringing his Temple OC

I wasn't impressed, but I hope whatever he does works out.

Him and DMoore would have me ready to run through multiple brick walls

I would rather have GT hire Mick Foley than Ed Foley for offensive coordinator

I’d go for Axel, myself.

They also lost ALOT of players, two of which were Blake Bortles and Storm Johnson. The had ALOT of injuries, and a player on the team past away. As CPJ says, it’s never as bad or as good as it seems.

Yeah it didn't take UCF long to turn it back around

That wasn't with Key though. He was in line to be the HC after O'Leary until UCF decided to fire the whole staff after that season.

2 years is long in football #AtlantaFalcons #georgiatech201420152016. That’s the difference in a starting freshman QB (which is what he had his year as the OC if I’m not mistaken) and a Junior. The difference in injuries and being healthy ect.

No, it was just as bad as it seemed. It was so bad they cleared house and brought in a whole new coaching staff.

If people don't know, O'Leary was setting it up for Key to be the HC, and O'Leary would move up to AD. Key was the defacto HC that season. The season was so bad, and there was so much turmoil within the team, they wouldn't even consider O'Leary in the AD conversation anymore.

So a death couldn’t have caused the turmoil? Were you there and knew all the details of what was going on behind the sense? How much did OLeary have his hands in the pot still? Injuries, losing players to the NFL, all that stuff doesn’t contribute to it? Stuff that goes beyond Key? tbh we have no clue, unless you were behind the sense and saw everything going on. I’ve actually challenged people to go watch his games, and brake down what he doesn’t do good as an OC, yet no one has done it yet. And even if what you say about Key being the de facto HC is true, that should hold no weight on him being able to play calls. Maybe he was in over his head and trying to do to much at the de facto HC, that still should hold weight on if he has the ability to call plays or not.
