Key No Longer a HC Candidate

I'll be amazed if the coaching decision isn't made well before UGAG. We probably won't know who or when, but they will be trying to make it ASAP. Only an idiot would wait around until another half dozen programs fire their coaches so that we have to compete with all of them.

Not only that but really want the new coach like day after Ga game since it's only a couple of weeks until early signing day.
the newbie will have work to do.
 
I don't understand how the Key defenders think we have a chance to even sniff a victory in the next 3 games. To even think that requires sniffing something stronger Pablo Escobar was able to achieve.

VPISU sucks too. We can beat them
 
I like Coach Key. But, the time since Coach Collins left has shown me Tech's football program is in much worse shape than I thought, and I thought it was very bad. After Pitt and Duke, I wanted Key to get the job. But now, I think the program was left in such bad shape that we can't take any chances on an unproven coach. I can't believe what happened during the last four years. It was a hard thing to do. No one person could have done it. It required a combination of a coach who was in over his head and an AD who couldn't or wouldn't recognize his own mistake. But, I have confidence in President Cabrera and AD Batt. I hope they will find the best coach in America, pay what it takes to get him, and give him all the support and resources he needs. If they do, Tech will be very good in three years.

VT more so than Miami, but this GT teams has a "hold my beer" mentality when it comes to outdoing crappy teams. Even then, ESPN has a VT at a 60.5% chance to win, Miami at 68.3% chance. Not saying it's written in stone, only that this GT is so soft that I'm not surprised in the least.

The landscape of CFB has drastically changed since Gailey was the HC. The facilities and resources alone are light years ahead of those days at schools like Alabama, UGA, Clemson, Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. Add in the NIL and transfer portal. The only positive thing is the ACC Coastal is weaker now than it was in 2007. VT is a shell of what they once were.

NC St, Wake, and Pitt prove that we don't need a gimmick offense to compete in the ACC.

No one said you need a gimmick offense to compete. GT lacks talent across the board on offense. The OL is probably rated as one of the worst in the country by PFR. The TE talent is not close to where it needs to be. My point was the landscape of CFB has drastically changed from the Gailey days until now.

Good news is, things can quickly be fixed via the Portal. That is if the school actually holds true to their word and supports the next HC and program.

Much worse than I thought, too. The last 3 games of defensive play were promising, but that appears to have been false hope. A total rebuild looks to be in store, 3 years may be optimistic. AD and GT Admin need to get everything right to get us back on track.
