Is the immediate expectation to be in a bowl game next year? I wonder what happens if we don't get back. Either way I'm rooting for CBK.

That’s good, because this feels like 7 wins. Every year.
But he does have 100% of my support and will be pulling for him to be the next Bobby Ross.

Is that the USD value of your check? Very nice

I read Clemson’s plan. Get to 65% win rate. Then, get to 70% rate … etc etc etc.
We have historically had NO PLAN. The first step is … get back to your historicAl win rate.

Giving myself some credit for this post from after the UNC game:

I've noticed there's one person of interest that has not yet congratulated the Team on twitter.

The right man for a tough job – Brent Key, Georgia Tech head coach
This feels like the right hire. It mightn’t feel that way five years from now, but we’re not living in 2027. We’re living at a time when Georgia Tech is trying to correct the biggest wrong in Institute annals. Brent Key feels like the right place to start.

I was a "BOB" guy at first, but began to think Tech could not afford him. If it really is Key, as it seems to be, I am ecstatic with that. Surround him with good OC
and OL assistants, keep Thacker and most of the D coaches, and we can build from that. I am pumped !!

I remember when Curry was hired. Norm van Brocklin said being a “Tech Man” made him puke.Mark Bradley's take:

The nighttime pep rallies were awesome. That’s where they introduced Buzz. Coeds wanted to have Curry’s baby.
The ND game of 1980. The win at Legion Field in 1981. Two of the three greatest games in my lifetime.
Key will be great. I’m finally looking forward to Tech football.

Ugh, well... I was a Brent Key guy until I read that. If Bark Madley likes it, I'm out. Where do we start the 'Fire Brent Key' thread?? (tic)

I also enjoy your posts. Yes, 7 wins is possible & probably his ceiling.
Again, unless he hires a genius OC.
Opinions are just that. Opinions.
As the #1 anti-Key guy, I'll have you know you'll see none of that from me.
He's the guy so that means he's now my guy and he'll get 100% of my support.
One thing I can't stand is folks nibblin' away because the person hired wasn't their top choice. It's not about you, so to speak. It's about the Institute. Too many folks forget that.

Got it. We should have hired you as AD.
