Hard to say how much is key. He's got some serious issues, but we couldn't realistically believe that the worst damage done to our program since Bill Lewis could be undone so quickly. I don't think he's the answer either, but the fickleness of the fan base is surprising.
 
And just to reiterate, MJ Morris wanted to come to Tech. And we turned him down waiting for somebody else I can’t even remember. AJ Swann wanted to come to Tech and we turned him down waiting for Morris. Lost both, and we ended up with Pyron. And took Gibson as our insurance. Possibly the single worst recruitment of a position group in college football history.

If we take Swann when he desperately wanted to commit we win this game by 20 and are still doing math on the Coastal.

poor throws and absolutely stupid decision-making. "Let's throw short pass across the middle with no TOs left!" followed by "Let's not even TRY to win the game with a miracle play - no, let's just bail and run OB."

ööööing bullshit.

I have to agree. When you have nothing on offense, you run back every tiny feasible to return kick off, every punt, do anything to create a big play. Key hasn't done that on many opportunities of the last three games. The Head Coach is measured under certain circumstances, and one of them is how the team comes out after a break. We failed, it's on him.
 
This game did nothing to hurt Brent Key's chances. The fact that it was as close as it was given that we apparently had to play a running back at QB is kind of amazing.

Sims's injury must have been pretty serious to leave the team in the lurch like that.

It was an ankle injury that did not require ice or crutches or a boot. He just stood and walked on the sidelines then at the end went out and took some nice pictures with some UVA players. Probably will keep him out for the rest of the year.

Not sure if serious. If so, what beta cuck you are.

Running back at QB? RBs don't trip over their own feet as much as Gibson did.

A running back would have been a step up from what we saw tonight. Did he take sacks on 3 straight 3rd downs at one point?

I just got home, so since I can't go to sleep yet, I might as well join in, although most have probably already gone to bed. A guy I spoke to tonight, whom it turns out I had met in Detroit in 2018 before the game there, said something that I think really sums up our situation now. Collins has proven to be a cancer to our football program, and it's going to take a helluva lot of "therapy" so to speak to cure that cancer. Key didn't do himself any favors tonight, but it wasn't all on him. At the beginning of the game, the team looked like they have looked so often under Collins --- they were not fired up at all, and all of what had seemed to be improvements the last two games, was gone. And it was gone in every single facet of the game. We should have been able to put the Cavs away in the first quarter, but we played like crap. For the entire game I questioned Long's play calling. Once again, we got in the red zone and went flat, calling totally predictable plays that did nothing. Punt protection nearly destroyed us, we miss an extra point. The O-line sucked. And on and on. Only, amazingly, the D seemed to have come to play. They weren't perfect, but they played good enough to win the game if the offense had done anything. Gibson comes in, and although he looked decent on the first series, he pretty much sucked the rest of the game. The offensive play calling seemed to change some, I assume to try to capitalize on his strengths, which sadly he seems not to have. Key has to take the blame, and, based on what I have seen of him so far, he will. But can he move on from this atrocious game and lead us to a couple of more wins? We shall see. I still say that if we can win 5, he should at least be on the list. The one thing in his favor right now is that he at least has a running start on getting things turned around. A new coach from someplace else MAY be the answer, but he will be in a position of having to start over completely from scratch, and that's going to mean 2 or more years of more mediocrity. The cancer known as Collins is going to extremely difficult to "cure", if we can at all.

And BTW. once again the refs were the worst I think I have ever seen. Some of those calls and non-calls were simply unbelievable.

Next.

Sims goes down and Gibson is struggling all 2nd half. At some point, put another guy in and give him at least a series. Hell, let the Clemson QB transfer run the damn ball.

Time to move on.

You have to wonder at the dumbassery to stay on a lame horse when you have others in the stable. Did the gods really think the stupid play calling was going to make the difference? :facepalm:
