Brent Key presser

[andrew]

He is really (indirectly) criticizing the culture Collins built a lot, in my opinion.

 

[andrew]

Says very firmly that they have changed quite a bit about practice but wouldn't get into details.

 

[Akinji07]

Brent lost his voice from yelling at the kids for 2.5 hrs to make up for 3.5 years.

 

[CarsonNewmanJacket]

Is this the official head clown uniform now? Did they give all of Geoff’s sleeveless hoodies to Key in the transition?

Looks like he's trying to make a Bellichieck impression

 

[andrew]

Says that we did not have a good week of practice before Ole Miss.

 

[CarsonNewmanJacket]

I like this no BS Key after the a ton of BS Collins

 

[BigDanT]

No wonder Wesley though Tennessee was more professional. Our practices were garbage!

The audio on the 11 Alive press conference link in this thread did not meet the standards I expect of GT football audio so here is a new link:

If we hire Key as HC then Pres Cabrera wasn't wholly truthful in his presser today, no question. If we're making a good-faith effort to build back this football program - the proverbial cover page of the Institute to the general public - then you don't hire an untested guy in that position. You just don't.

Key is taking an 8-game test. We’ll know plenty by the end of the year.

 

[andrew]

Asked what he'll be doing on Saturday, first thing he brings up is clock management. Says he takes pride in it, says O'Leary drilled it into him. Spent a couple full minutes just on that.

And Special Teams.

To echo what someone else said here, I don't like Key calling the players "kids". Stop babying them and make them men

Based on everything else he said, and how he said it, that's not going to be an issue. He made it pretty clear that the environment is changing to one of discipline.

We'll see whether he succeeds.

 

[WREKedinTexas]

Looks a little like Tommy Nobis

 

[IM79]

The most important thing is

He said there would be a depth chart issued.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

Ah damnit, He made me feel like we have an actual football coach who gives actual answers....i might have to rethink my opinion.

 

[BranMart]

I didn't think I would be as excited as I am after hearing that. Lot of good. Praise the Lord, no ATL bull.

 

[gtjeffc]

If we win 6 more, we would be idiots to not hire Key.

Unless Deion agrees to a lifetime contract.
