Your choice for Head Coach

[GoJacketsInRaleigh]

Desperation is being seen in the Key segment of the posting members; it sounds similar to the same thing we went through with the group that wanted to stop Gailey from being coach. The lobbying effort is not saying we want the best coach; it is saying we only one coach who is our favorite.

What?

It's going to be a business decision, not a sentimental decision. There's a LOT of sentiment for Key and he's definitely the emotional pick right now, but Batt and Cabrera have checklist of "wants" from the next head coach and they are not going to let emotions move themselves from it.

"The" next coach is not a tenured position.
I assume if he is not good, he is gone for " the " new one

Maybe Batt thinks we need to go w key plus new oc while we build credibility ($ war chest, handle portal in) at gt. Someday we need to shop at top 20 P5

Now hold on there just a minute. I could go for a number of these coaches mentioned around here, and I'll support whoever is hired in any case. I think most who support Key feel the same way. For my part, I'm just saying he inspires his players and that has to be factored in.

= 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.

What Schtick are you talking about?

I'm high D, low I, low S, medium C.

You own the company, right?

LOL.

On Friday, BK had 60 votes. Today, it's 104.

If that's desperation...

Called my shot.

Looks like he means the "schtick" Key uses to get players to run through the proverbial brick wall. I'll have some more of that "schtick", please.

Lol it's kind of funny how accurate you can get with that personality profile.

If Sims had not been injured would GT have beaten UVA and/or UM? I personally think at least one if not both games would have been wins in that case and Key would have us bowl eligible.

Love hearing this

I’m not sensing any toxic energy from Key fans. I think most people who are starting to be won over by Key are open to a different hire if it’s made. I’m in the boat that I wouldn’t be disappointed if he’s hired at all, but I also would probably be a little more excited about some of the other names.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Dan Mullen has been brought up before as a potential head coach candidate. I’ve heard from a few sources in the entertainment bizz(connections to ESPN) that Mullen is enjoying essentially being an OC again at Lake Oconee, while he’s on TV.

He didn’t like recruiting or the pressure of being HC at Florida. For the right price, could he possibly be interested in being an OC again at the Power Five level without that pressure? What if Key had Mullen as an OC and Thacker return as DC?

Getting way off topic. But my Vistage group went through this and we were all over the place. We did have a number of very high and very low D's (multiple standard deviations from norm) but there was absolutely no correlation, but a hint of there could be something there.

Now 110. I changed back to Key from other. Have flipped a few times.

My favorite is still whomever Batt selects. I think Key with Thacker is more likely today than Friday. Results matter. A HC is largely about motivation and overseeing a competent program. Key has done better at HC than OL and I'd be for getting rid of Key at OL. But what we are talking about here is HC.

 

[Randy Carson]

The Peter Principle comes to mind. That's the risk, but it would be true of any coach who has not "been there done that" at a P5 school.

Have you ever heard of stuffing the ballot box. We all know that figure to change that fast has no merit.

I still see the same trend, and it is desperation and intimidation.

Zzzzzzzzz.... We're intimidating the A.D.? WTF? We're just talking, for Bhudda's sake. And I would certainly hope the A.D. isn't listening.
