Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

Maybe deion will get it as hc I hope so

The donors have very very serious interest in Deion Sanders. Keep in mind, the adidas deal runs out of this year and Deion has very good connections with Nike. Deion could also get us a Nike deal, regardless he would get us more money in a new uniform contract.

problem is that Deion already has a better job.

No.

I don't see it. Even Auburn is going Ho Hum at Deion. Great curiosity factor but might be more trouble than he is worth. He did visit here after the Penn State game though.

....
I have no hate for him.

On a personal level, I feel sorry for Todd. He doesn’t get a golden parachute buyout like Collins, and I do believe he was trying to do what he thought was best for the program.

I just don’t understand how Todd looked at the team last year and thought some version of, “Let me double-down and hook my job to this coach.” Beyond me.

That right there tells you he should be gone. Any AD that watched that horrible coaching for 3 years and thought it would improve when you had the funding and approval to fire him, should not be an AD.

LOL!

GT Fan #1: Let's look for Coordinators who have won the Broyles awards
GT Fan #2: Collins won three at three different schools.
GT Fan #1: BS! He could not have won those since he sucked as a HC.

Collins has never won a Broyles award, just nominated. Brent Key was also nominated for a Broyles award, in 2020, and was one of 56 coaches nominated.

Surprised Neff wasn’t at least listed.

Don't think anyone really thinks that's likely to happen. Call him and ask, but you don't leave Clemson for Georgia Tech unfortunately.

ESPN is reporting Brent Key is interim HC.

Georgia Tech fires AD Stansbury, coach Collins

Georgia Tech has fired athletic director Todd Stansbury and head football coach Geoff Collins.

Don't love it. I guess the GT connection? Let's see what he can do. Won't be getting the job, but if he gets them turned around to some degree, we'll see what happens from there.

Most likely because he was actually the Assistant Head Coach.

He’s the AHC. He’s next man up. And no one from outside of the staff is getting the interim HC job

My mistake. You are correct. Nominated three times., never won.

 

[jeffgt14]

Ew. Oh well we just gotta get through the year. Not like he can be worse than Collins.

 

[wvGT11]

You almost feel for Todd, because he was kinda scammed by Collins. But the hes my man comment got him

Bro when is tech gonna put this damn press release out….

In the order that things are happening,

1. The news is going to be well circulated before you ever see a press release. Too many legal and administrative tasks are between the events today and the press release for it to be an early press release.
2. The press release is going to be the least informative thing that you read about today.

They’ll wait until week 10, just like they do for providing mics for pressers

Yeah, maybe. Could've gone to Long or Weinke, sort of like Clemson did with Dabo from WR coach. Hearing that Weinke is a future head coach. Could've seen what he could do. Doesn't really matter in the big scheme of things, but not a huge Key fan.

I think Key is the lesser of three evils. Who knows, maybe he is a better head coach, then line coach
