Fritz was demanding too much being his best stint was at Sam Houston Institute of Technology. He wanted the "retire to the big lake front house on GT" contract and wasn't going to get it, being he has never stepped foot on the field as a P5 coach.
From what I saw of CBK as interim coach I think we can be a whole lot better than a 500 team. Heck , as an interim coach taking over a dumpster fire he was .500 with three wins over teams with 8 wins or more. We were down to our 3rd and 4th string QB. So if he can go 4-4 with all those issues he had to tackle, I think the ceiling is pretty high without all those issues. GO JACKETS!
I don't share the same optimism. Key is happy to prove me wrong, all he wants.

The fact that Zach Pyron was our best QB this season speaks to how Coach Key needs to not only up or strength and conditioning program, but evaluate talent better moving Forward! However we have a better shot now that Clown Collins is gone!
I am sure TStan forgot to include anything benefiting Tech. Can we recover the buy out money we gave to TStan.
No, it’s not all that matters. It’s just icing on the cake.
Not too well, but Collins wasn’t a Tech man.
Not too well, but Roof wasn’t HC.
He demonstrated he has some really good abilities.
He’ll be defended against irrational and wrong attacks, because he’s the coach. He‘ll be criticized for mistakes, Tech man or not.

Sources: Georgia Tech targets Brent Key as football coach

FWIW: Chadwell wanted to bring his Whole staff ie like Coach Collins, the AD wasn't down with that so we moved on to Will Fritz, who needed more money then we could or was willing to pay.... IIWII. Go Jackets, Go Coach Key!
I don’t disagree that he could command that compensation, but he can set himself up for life by taking a discount now (which would still be close to 3 times he ever made) and pour it back into his staff. And he‘d still have something left to help the AA by making a donation (which is matched by the Tech Foundation until the end of the year). He can rack up some AT points.
My sources tell me that Chadwell demanded to bring his entire staff and needed more $$, Fritz wanted more money and wanted to wait until after the Cotton Bowl to accept and announce. I am not sure of anyone else so it sounds like out of the 12 candidates CBK was at least in the top 3. What is interesting is that it appears that an offer was made to Chadwell and Fritz before offering CBK. I am not so sure what that means, if anything at all.
Meanwhile you're gonna spend several months whining like a little girl before he ever has that opportunity.
Maybe.... I think GT wasted so much money on Collins, that the coffers were pretty bare. Hopefully Key proves to be the bargain of a lifetime. We'll see. It will be an interesting offseason.
I just don't the Kool-Aid. I am clearly stating that he will be a .500 coach. That is my belief and my opinion. I'm sorry I don't agree with you. I will be more than happy to admit to be wrong, should Key prove me wrong. Until then, you have no data, no facts, no evidence to suggest we will be the greatest thing since sliced bread. For every UNC game, I can throw a UVA game out there. So, don't even go there.
It means that Ma Tech chose the lowest cost option available.
I do embrace CBK as HC and support him. Hopefully we can get back to winning 6 & 7 games on the annual. He is an upgrade over Clown Collins. The fact still remains that Chadwell and Fritz turned down GT. IIWII
No, it does not. It has to be a fact first, before it can then remain as a fact.
