[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 920924, member: 3440"] Agreed. There is something to be said (that I don't know that we value here enough) for the intangibles. It's not so much that he's a "Tech man" - that seems like an old, outdated way of looking at it through loyalty, rather than merit. Instead, it's that he can speak with heart about Tech. About what it means to be a Jacket. About what it took to build the program we have, and its long-standing traditions. He feels those things, because he was a student here. He played for us. His professional career was forged here. And he worked hard as a player to leave his mark on the program, and leave it in a better place than it was when he got here. Winning isn't just about talent - it's about will. I think Key has talent. But he's also shown he has the will, and it's heightened being here at the place that means a lot to him. I think he'll continue to get the best out of his players, because he's not just a coach - he's a leader who cares about the Institute, and what it means to be here. It's powerful stuff. And there's a value to that. The more I think about this, the more positive I am. And the more I wonder if he was a later choice, or if the AD's office has been getting through interviews until sitting down and laying all the cards on the table. I'm hopeful of the latter. Either way, looking forward to what's next. [/QUOTE]
