Key Press Conference

MACHETE said:
Overall liked the presser but Key went long and all-in on the dominating UGA comment. That feels almost comical given how unrealistic it is. He won't be able to back it up unless Tech backs up the cash truck for football. And then, it will take many years. I don't see it happening. Not sure why he felt the need to box himself in like that other than pure emotion getting the best of him.

I don't think he boxed himself in at all. We're playing U[sic]GA every year regardless. GT fans are going to obsess over it regardless. The media is going to write articles about it regardless. The problem doesn't go away just because we don't talk about it.

There has been a lot of talk on here about hiring CBK being settling for mediocrity, and Tech isn't committed to winning, certainly not at the level needed to compete with U[sic]GA. And if people on here are thinking that, there's no doubt that some high school coaches and players, and maybe even some players in our very own locker room, are thinking it too.

This answer put those questions to rest. We are not settling for mediocrity. We are committed to winning. We are not satisfied with being the little brother. It remains to be seen if we get there, but prospective and current players can be assured that is our goal. And I do think that makes a difference, both in team motivation and on the recruiting trail.
 
I liked the part about "earning that Tech degree in a major they want rather than a major they're told to be in".

Don't like the practice of selling recruits on engineering and science but then pushing them into easier majors when they get here, if it was being done.
 
I got it we sell tech secerts to china that way we got heavy backing for the program

Total opposite message from Deion. Instead of "y'all better hit the portal because I got better players coming in", Key says it starts with the guys you have rather than the "best player out there or the best player you can acquire". "It starts from the bottom of the roster and goes to the top."
 
I felt like he was going to come thru StinGTalk and strangle me for my prior comments. He’s our coach, and he’s constantly mad as hell at someone or something.

I know I’ve given this hire a lot of grief, but Coach Key ain’t no clown. He acts just like I want a coach to act. Time for me to quit my bitching and get on board.
