Nightmare is over Collins it officially OUT

Bradley has already come to bury Clown, not praise him, online on ajc.com.
It's worth a read.
I will do the same here with this story I got not long ago, from a good source.
I didn't want to share this while Clown was still employed because of its inflammatory nature. I have been dead set against him since the beginning but even this was startling.

Not long after Clown was hired, D Mo, our beloved and widely respected team chaplain, asked him to contribute to the FCA. Moore has a position with them. He had asked Gailey and PJ to do that, and they both had done so willingly. Don't know how much.
But there was a deadline for the donation. Two days before the deadline, and without Clown's contribution having been made, Derrick called over to his office. A short while later, Clown sends someone - doesn't do this himself, mind you - to tell Moore "Coach doesn't think he'll be able to help."
When you partner that with other such instances - bailing on the Savannah Quarterback Club and sending Choice in his stead after The Citadel debacle, doing a pre-taped coaches show after another egregious ass kicking, like Ole Miss - Collins just simply wasn't a Tech man. He wasn't any kind of man.
Good bye and good riddance to the Clown show.
You won't be missed, jackass.

wow, what a putz. It'll be interesting (and nauseating) to read stuff like this as it starts coming out now.

What a waste of time & money.
 
On TOS, they are stating Collins got walked to his car and was not allowed to address the team.
 
Probably the most accurate article over the last 24 hours. Carl Reed from 24/7 sports nails it. Whether it Deion or another candidate this is 100% on the school to show whether they are “all in” or not.

“As much as there is a natural fit for Coach Prime and the city of Atlanta, and an urge to reunite the two, there are significant details that would have to be worked through. Georgia Tech’s power brokers have to decide what its identity as a college football program looks like, because just being located in Atlanta isn’t enough to compete at the highest levels. You need an elite staff, recruiting and personnel department, you need NIL commitment and opportunities, and you of course need an academic support staff for football to make sure that the players have every resource to navigate the course load you demand as a university. Clemson and Miami for example are all in. Is Georgia Tech really ready to try to compete with them?”

Deion Sanders coaching options: Georgia Tech, Auburn and what it will take to stay at Jackson State

Deion Sanders to Georgia Tech makes some sense, but it's not perfect. An Auburn opening could be. But if Sanders gets his wish, Jackson State will do what it takes to keep him.

from alumni association:


Good afternoon,



As part of the Alumni Association family, I wanted to let you know of recent community news:



(Atlanta, Georgia, September 26, 2022) Today, Georgia Tech announced leadership changes within Athletics. Todd Stansbury, athletics director, and Geoff Collins, head football coach, will both leave their roles effective immediately.



Collins, a metro Atlanta native, was named the 20th head coach in Georgia Tech football history on Dec. 7, 2018. He has had three years of recruiting success while at Georgia Tech, but the program posted a disappointing 10-28 record under his leadership.

“I am grateful to Coach Collins for his hard work and commitment to our student athletes,” said Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera. “Unfortunately, the results of our football program have fallen short of what our loyal community, fans and athletes expect and deserve. We are committed to rebuilding the program and a coaching change is a necessary first step in that process.”



Stansbury was the ninth director of Athletics when he stepped into the role in September 2016. He is an alumnus of Georgia Tech and has helped the program increase its Director’s Cup standings and achieve a school record of 90% NCAA Graduation Success Rate in the most recent data released by the NCAA during the 2021-22 academic year.

“Todd is and will always be an admired and respected member of our community. His dedication to the success of our student athletes and his love for Georgia Tech are admirable,” said Cabrera. “The challenges the athletic program has faced in recent years have grown to a point where we need to try a new approach, and that requires new leadership.”

Frank Neville, chief of staff and senior vice president of Strategic Initiatives, has been named interim director of athletics. He has served in his current role at Georgia Tech since September 2019 and is a member of the Georgia Tech Athletics Association Board of Trustees. Previously, he served 15 years in the U.S. Department of State, was vice president of Global Communication and Public Affairs at the Thunderbird School of Global Management (now part of Arizona State University), and was chief of staff and vice president of Communications and Marketing at George Mason University. He lettered in three sports (baseball, track, and football) at Carleton College, is a former competitive body-builder and martial artist, and was the baseball prospect writer at The Sporting News for 15 years.

Brent Key, assistant head coach for football, has been named the interim head coach. A Georgia Tech alumnus and football letterwinner, Key is in his fourth season as the Yellow Jackets’ assistant head coach, run game coordinator, and offensive line coach. In his first three seasons, Georgia Tech’s run game produced an all-American, a pair of all-Atlantic Coast Conference honorees and finished in the top half of the ACC in rushing offense twice. Key has also mentored a pair of all-ACC offensive linemen. He returned to Georgia Tech in 2019 after three seasons as offensive line coach at Alabama (2016-18), where he helped lead the Crimson Tide to two Southeastern Conference championships, three College Football Playoff championship games and the 2017 national title.



A national search will get underway this week to recruit a new director of athletics and football head coach. Parker Executive Search has been contracted to lead the search.

This isn’t unusual. Remember when Kiffin was let go by Haden at LAX, he wasn’t even allowed to ride back with the team.

Collins was not the right fit in the end for GT, but it’s not like he didn’t give it his all. Collins will end up at the Nick Saban coaching rehab center in Tuscaloosa before the end of the season.

There's what I'd like to be the answer and what I know the reality to be to that question.

The Ugag grad search firm instills me with little confidence. This will play out for a while. Hope that I'm wrong.

Don't a lot of the Tech S/As intern with Parker Executive Search?
 
The nightmare continues with the promotion of Key. The guy that verbally crapped all over Tech and a Tech degree while at UCF. Negative recruiting your alma mater, to OL coach, to Assistant HC, to HC. What a cluster, what a pos.
