Key led the Yellow Jackets to a 4-4 record following Collins' dismissal. He's a Georgia Tech alum who knows the challenges that the program faces. With that said, he's a first-time head coach at a Power Five school that has to fight recruiting battles with all of the top-tier teams in the country. It might take some time. Grade: B-

$100 Chadwell is a flop.
 
You can still get them in this day in age? I mean, I know they're still have some reserved for Tech, but for other schools...

Ohio State and Bama will not suffer the recruits to go to Boulder.

One asshole's opinion. What makes it any better than yours or mine? What is his track record? Where was he on CGC four years ago? Did he slobber over Texas hiring Herman, like most of the media? Ditto Nebraska hiring Scott Frost?

How about the Vols hiring Heupel?

Forget about Key . . . just looking at some of the other grades makes me think he's full of öööö. Ruhle is an A? Really? Herman is a B . . . for FAU??? Does he know the first ööööing thing about FAU? Doubtful. ASU is a disaster zone . . . Dillingham was a steal for them.

So . . . I'm not impressed with these grades.
