I would think he's still got a small shot if the Jackets win the next two and play Ugag to within 3 TDs or so. He'd be 5-2 against the ACC. Winning the bowl game wouldn't help, though. Surely the decision will be made by then.
1. Kiffin as a hire would be the biggest hire for us in my lifetime at least. that would be the first time we went home with the belle of the ball in forever. if he would do better than paul, either way is kind of a guess but there is no doubt that his resume at the p5 level is above johnson’s at the time of the hire considering johnson had not been at that level
Wrong. Key is a real option and will get a formal interview no matter what. Winning gets you interest from the AD and he’s winning.
It would be interesting to find out the grouping of voters for each candidate. Chadwell has the majority of votes (132); my guess is that most of these voters do not personally know Chadwell and are swayed by his coaching record.
Your standards of winning are a lot lower than mine. So far, he had one noteworthy win, Pitt, who by the way, has a 2-3 record in conference. Otherwise, he beat a horrid VPISU team by one point, beat a moderately good Duke team in OT, lost to a really bad UVA team, and got blown out by FSU.
Do you know for sure he is getting an interview? Do you know if it is a serious interview?
Well one of them can't get good talent because good talent doesn't want to play in his system. That matters. Yeah, I think Kiffin is one of the top college coaches in the country right now.
He will be getting an interview, just like I said.
If you know it for sure; then I will take your word for it, but my guess is that it will not be a serious interview.
My standards of winning aren’t low. You have to look at context. You rarely see IHC’s win games during the season since most teams give up, quit on the season and just write the season away. That hasn’t happened with Key. Key has barely anytime during the week to change things and put his full emphasis on it. The Collins stink will be here for the rest of the season since that’s who the kids were coached and led by all off season. What I’m saying is, he’s winning in a non normal way. You rarely see IHC’s win and he’s winning as a IHC. You have to sit here and think about what a Georgia Tech football team that went through the winter, spring, summer and fall program under Brent Key would look like. He’s already got 3 wins without being able to have any off season influence on these kids other than his position group.
Ok OK I'll take the job.
I don't know if you truly understand what a challenging job the HC at GT is. It is truly unique in all of college football. And the name we are discussing here who knows that the best is Key. As a player and a coach. Full disclosure: I voted Chadwell. But I'm rooting for Key. Truly.
i feel like if you are an interim coach and at least show some positive uptick in performance you will get an interview 99% of the time. whether that interview is gonna lead to anything is probably dependent on a million factors.
I understand context. I also understand the quality of players we have on the team and the quality of teams we have played. We have one win against a team we should not have beat and a loss against a team we should have beat. The net result is 0 more wins than what we should have regardless of who was coach. We should win again this weekend but will probably lose the final two games. Even if he beats UNCheat, I still would not consider Key for head coach unless all other options backed out.
The thing that most people don't understand that most the people we talk about on here don't want to come to Tech and coach. One thing you don't want to do is interview coaches and have them say no. I have NO problem if wel try Key but don't do a 7 year deal , 4 years with no buyout may work. From what I have seen the players are playing hard for him.
