[QUOTE="ThatGuy, post: 921628, member: 3440"] I voted "Other." If only because I didn't have a first choice for HC. There were a lot of candidates I thought could have done a great job - each having negatives to them as well. [LIST] [*][B]Chadwell[/B] - up-and-coming, successful, but we didn't want his defense (and he might be interested in somewhere else) [*][B]Deion [/B]- Would make a splash, possibly improve recruiting, but felt like more of the boom-bust possibilities of another CGC - which I didn't much like. [*][B]Fritz[/B] - Dude is a winner. He's rebuilt programs time and time again. But while his results at Tulane have been good by Tulane standards, would they hold up to P5 competition? [*][B]Bill O'Brien[/B] - Another proven winner. But some questions about his recruiting prowess led to some uncertainty. [*][B]Key[/B] - Has the team's backing, did a lot in mid-season transition, knows what it takes to win at Tech, has great pedigree. But he's unproven as a HC, and his success this season as IHC was boom and bust. [/LIST] Overall, while I would have supported whomever the AD chose, I think Key is a great choice. I think he's open to an incentive-laden contract, which helps us focus on getting out from under the pile of debt we have. If he wins, everybody wins. I think he's shown he can do more with less, as evidenced by him righting the sinking ship this season. I think if he had been named the HC in 2019 rather than CGC, we all would have been incredibly happy - and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on all the things I mentioned above. More than anything, I think he has the leadership skills and the competitive drive to be a top-caliber football coach. He's competent at making the hard decisions, and he's focused on winning. And for me, that makes him a great hire. Even if I didn't have a first choice. [/QUOTE]
