Key Fans, I Have Questions:

Jmonty71 said:
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.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but my responses were to correct the false statements you made.

Key isn’t good enough to win without quality assistants. If both Chadwell and Fritz got the offer, and turned Tech down after the interview, it’s almost certain that it is because the money wasn’t there to land them or to land them and allow them to pay for decent staffs. If so Tech settled on a lesser coach because of money. Not much to hang high hopes on.

No Head Coach can win without quality assistants. This ain't pop warner football.

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.

After the bowl? There's no way that is true no team would go without a coach until the new year. It's unheard of.

Maybe Tulane Upped the deal for Fritz ($$ and facilities) and that was Fritz way of ending negotiations? Not to sure

It’s been one of the biggest limiting factors for the football program in particular. And if it doesn’t change there won’t be a hell of a lot for Tech fans to celebrate going forward.

This is not a fact. Do you not know what the word means?

Are you not aware that one can get banned from media and social media for publishing facts in this country?
Mainstream media suggests that we should be happy with propaganda, rumor and innuendo.

GT did when hiring Gailey.

I started following CFB after he was hired -- did the recruiting period open back on December 2nd back then? I'm really surprised a school would be okay with a coach missing so much of the recruiting period.

It means CBK needs to work his ass off so 4 years from now he can walk up to the AD, after we put 55k in the place for a GT curb stomping of Duke or Wake or some other ACC team, and say "time to re-up my contract $$, we are top 10 again, baybeee"

And it was a mistake. Can’t afford that kind of delay in recruiting and getting things started. If a candidate made such of a demand it would be good cause to remove him from consideration.

You can bet your ass that if a team like Texas or Alabama or Michigan had offered Fritz, he's on the first plane out of New Orleans. We obviously didn't command any respect and he let us know it.

Fritz is old enough that his next stop is almost certainly his last. Leaving Tulane for a rebuilding job at a bottom feeder in the ACC (sadly what we have been recently) doesn't make sense for him as anything but a money grab, and we weren't going to be someone's money grab at this point in time.

If a blue blood with a realistic chance to win on the national stage in the next three years offered him, that would be a lot different. But I doubt they would go for such an old coach who doesn't have any P5 experience.

I think it's too late for Fritz at this point and he made the right decision staying at Tulane.

Maybe. I take all news about who was offered, who turned down who, what was offered etc with a big grain of salt. A lot of that “info” is probably baseless.

5 teams lost by a lesser margin than we did... We only scored twice, them seven times...

At what point on that graph were we competitive? When we got to a 4% chance of winning?

The graph is stupid. When were we competitive? I dunno, maybe 7-0?

Good thing we turned down Chadwell, if that's the case. His defensive staff was actually offensive and we just öööö-canned a "coach" who brought his staff with him too. We didn't need to return to the "Defense" we ran under the clown nor PJ but looks like that's the kind of 'defense' that Chadwell's Coastal teams trot out every week.

Let him return to mighty Tulane. WGAF. We didn't need some old never-was Southern re-tread anyway.

Dont recall when it opened then, but Gailey definitely missed a week or 2 in the recruiting period, the source of much criticism and a poor recruiting class.

  • How do you explain away the fact that he failed miserably as our offensive line coach for 4 seasons? To the point where we were blaming him for losses? The undisciplined nature of the OL for 4 seasons?
  • How do you explain that this guy was tagged "Assistant Head Coach" during 4 of the most dog öööö seasons of Tech football in history?
  • How do you explain his absolute dog öööö performance as an OC at UCF? To the point that he had to take a demotion back to OL caoch? They went 0-12, mind you.
  • If he's such a great recruiter and builds such strong bonds with the kids, why did our key players already hit the portal? He couldn't even hang on to them?
I'm just asking...

The boat has sailed my friend.
 
These comments about offers being made and retracted are dumb. Start dates and staff plans (and budgets) are part of the interview process, not something that is done after an offer is made. None of the answers we've seen would have been acceptable enough to make an offer in the first place.
