[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 922044, member: 2580"] Brent Key walks the walk where Collins simply talked the talk. Collins claimed to be part of the Nick Saban and Urban Meyer coaching trees, but he never actually coached players directly under either of those men. He can rightfully claim to be in the Meyer tree, but upon closer inspection, that’s not necessarily the greatest endorsement (most of Meyer’s former assistants have flamed out in HC roles). Brent Key, on the other hand, has actually coached one of the more challenging position groups on Saban’s staff for a significant amount of time. He’s worked not only with the legend himself but also alongside numerous Saban assistants who have gone on to have success as head coaches themselves. He’s worked with Kiffin, Sarkisian, Cristobal, Daboll, and Locksley, among others. He’s learned lessons from working with all of them in addition to Saban himself. He’s seen firsthand that there’s more than one strategy to achieve success, and he’s seen how various leaders maximize their strengths. Not only that, but he’s had opportunities to learn what not to do. He failed spectacularly as OC at UCF, setting his career back years. He had a front row seat experiencing his alma mater decline under the previous coach. He is no stranger to success or failure, meaning he has experience managing both. Brent Key seems like he has what it takes to lead Tech out of the shadows and back to respectability. [/QUOTE]
