[QUOTE="Techster, post: 928038, member: 360"] I like the sum total of the coaches we've brought in on the offensive side even though I'm lukewarm on some individual coaches. I love that we've kept the defensive staff intact (so far) and very interested to see what they can do with an entire offseason of practicing and scheming without someone meddling on how they want to do things. Thacker did a REALLY good job on that side of the ball...credit to Key for seeing Thacker's true value and not what Thacker was under Collins. I have ZERO doubt Key will be a good coach. It's not impossible to win at GT...well, not as impossible as some make it sound. It's definitely harder to win here than at most places, but a good coach will win 6-8 games regularly here. I've repeated this so many times over the years it's probably getting really old: Since I've been a GT fan since the early 90's, only two coaches have failed to qualify for a bowl game by their third season. We all know who they are. Key almost did it in 8 games when he had to take over for a failed coach, and battled injuries to our top 2 QBs, and basically revamping how we practiced and prepared during the season. What's difficult at GT is winning 9-11 games, it's even more difficult to win 9-11 games regularly at GT. Will that be the coach Key becomes? I think if Batt and Cabrera (and our donors) give him the tools he's going to be knocking on that door. I think the failure at UCF, and coaching under Saban will be an invaluable experience for Key in the coming years. Key wasn't my first choice, but I said I would have been happy with him under certain circumstances. I REALLY like that Key took a lower HFC salary and deployed the majority of the money into supporting personnel that will go a long way into his success. He WANTS to win here and that's showing he's got skin in the game. Not many coaches are willing to do that. I think the dividends will pay off sooner than later with Key. He got 8 games to start the foundation of his program, now he has a full spring a fall camp to finish it. I'm certainly more optimistic about our program than I have been in years. [/QUOTE]
