Your choice for Head Coach

[gtie73]

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

Too bad

= 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.

All high rollers like you have to do to influence things is get your checkbooks out and write enough zeros.

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.

Agreed. Let’s just wipe the slate clean. It’s been the DL coaches making the D legit this year, still not sold on the Thack Attack

 

[stech81]

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

Unless Key is the head coach Thacker won't be here next year

I get the sense that a few here are disturbed by the win tonight. Sadly enough.

I mean let’s see what happens next week. It’s not unrealistic to believe that our D could keep uGA’s offense in check. Anything less than 20 and weird stuff can find a way to happen.

If they’re able to compete in that game I wouldn’t have too much heartburn retaining Key if that’s what Batt decided to do. If we did that I’d want Key to revamp most of the offensive staff.

If we get blown out I really want to go a different direction - hopefully Chadwell. If they still hired Key I’d be a little disappointed, but would get over it really quickly and get excited to see what he could do next year.

He’s got the ultimate decision makers attention.

Wrong

7 games. 4 wins. 2 wins on the road against ranked opponents. Key can clearly prepare a team. Is that the same QB I saw flounder against UVA? Awesome win coach. You have my vote.

If we get blown out, which I expect, I don’t hold that against Key.

 

[gtie73]

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

Clannish key decision

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Very happy for the win. Guys continue to work their butts off.

I still don’t think Key is the HC for our future. I do appreciate everything he & the other coaches have done. Again, even the guy that won’t be named beat these guys when they were ranked last year.

Go Jackets!!

I was thinking something similar.

It'll be impossible given how fickle the fanbase is in general, not just ours, but I hope whoever we decide to hire, all of us can get behind and support the team and coach.

I'm tired of all this "you didn't hire the coach/offense I wanted so I'm going to complain/negative recruit until he's fired" act.

Too logical

Not really. Love it when we win, love it when UNC loses, and I doubt it's going to change anything in regards to the HC choice.

Whether Key should get a chance is one discussion. Whether he will get a chance is another. No way a new AD comes in and promotes from within the staff that got the previous AD fired mid year barring something absolutely crazy (which upsetting #1 UGA coming of a championship is). Way too risky. If we reverted back to the way we looked last year because of seniors leaving on defense then we become a laughing stock as a program and he becomes a laughing stock as an AD. Only way Key has any chance of getting the job is beating UGA, which if he did everyone would be happy ecstatic about.

I've been high on Key since Pitt. I have wavered at times though. I hope we keep him. He should at least get strong consideration.

 

[Fatmike91]

I hope Key earns the job next week.

I am in the Key camp. Key has beaten more ranked teams in a partial season than the previous coach. He deserves a serious look and chance. With third and fourth string quarterbacks and an injury ridden oline.
