Your choice for Head Coach

[danny daniel]

But it DID work sometimes, in two ways. I've seen the defense jump, but the best ones were when the A-backs took their positions, no one jumped on defense, and the defense let up thinking the timeout was coming and they snapped the ball and got the first down!

Coach Johnson was a master at thinking several plays ahead and set them up with his calls, and also at making adjustments on the fly when he saw what the defensive gameplan was trying to do.

Agree with assessments about CPJ but he won games because he possessed the ball. He had "get the first down" mentality first and keep the chains moving. This is big thing missing the past 3++ years. Its also one of our problems in the red zone. Paul always new he had 4 downs (not 3 and a punt) and he could make the short yardage (keep possession) first downs most times. Part of this is play calling and part is practice prep. We have not seen good of either lately.

My short list would be Monken, Mullen, Garrett Riley, Chadwell, and Jeff Traylor.

NO other option. kEYS. Me and my money support him.

 

[Randy Carson]

Well, now. Don't THAT just beat all?

So, what say you, Tech fan? Who's your next coach?

Don't forget...you CAN change your vote in the poll above.

Keys still has a chance to beat uga so I'm leaving my vote for him untouched...

If Chadwell truly won’t come without his staff, at this point, I’d rather go with Key, keep Thacker and spend some money on a big OC

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Also, whoever gets the job HAS to make bringing Choice back a top priority.

I am back to Brent Key for head coach. He and his staff tonight showed that they figured out how to beat UNC. The quarterbacks were played to their strengths and the defense did its job against a Heisman candidate quarterback.

He won 3 games that the former coach would have crashed on.

Bring in Chadwell, Korn takes over Coastal. Chadwell brings in Choice as OC and mentors him.

I think if the players had a say that Key would be the man. They sure seem to play hard for him. Sure wish Thacker could have ran the show on D last year with all the talent that we had. I think it’s obvious that cgc controlled everything, and it shows. The biggest fraud in coaching profession ever. Go Jackets!

When it comes to Key for HC, our fan base is about as fickle as my HS girlfriend.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Do we pull the trigger?

 

[GTThor]

Do we pull the trigger?

Yes

I agree. And realistically when we get an expected beat down by UGA, I am sure it will swing against him again.

So, is there a limit to how many times I can change my vote from Key to Chadwell back to Key back to Chadwell and so on ?!?!

 

[bigrabbit]

The near term goals are to repair our balance sheet, get people in seats at Bobby Dodd, and quickly become competitive in the ACC. Key appears capable of leading all that, with the least downside risk.

I can tell you from inside info, the players are crazy about him. They played hard, never quit.

= Chan Gailey 2.0.

The UVA loss was unforgivable and losing badly to a bad Miami team is a big no thanks for me.

I am afraid you will get your wish though, classic GT to go cheap on the hire and hand the keys over to Key. I hope J Batt wipes the slate clean when we get our doors blown off next week.

The team has rallied some behind the interim coach but this Schtick won’t last.
Ceiling with Key is 6-7 wins a year in a mediocre conference.

We definitely need to give Thacker a big raise IMO or we lose him.

Never in a million years did I think we would be worried about losing Thack attack, lol.

I would bet just about anything if we didn't retain Thacker he wouldn't land as a DC at any P5 school next year.
