Some additional comments by Pyron in the AJC article
“Just first of all the relationships I’ve made, just with (quarterbacks) coach (Chris) Weinke coming in, being with him, just the relationship I have. I didn’t know if I could find many guys that can develop me better than what he’s developing right now,” Pyron said in August about remaining in the Tech program. “And then this (Tech) degree here, this degree means so much. Everybody jokes and says it’s a 40-year decision, but it really is. Just some of the connections I’ve made outside of football with some guys, it’s not about what you do, but it’s about who you know. I know a lot of people.
“And then just coach (Brent) Key, I’m just bought in for what he’s doing. He’s an awesome coach. A lot of respect for him. A lot of respect. Would do anything for him. Anything he tells me to do I’m willing to do, and any improvement he wants me to make, I’ll make. Those three reasons are big. It’s just a great place. I wanna be a part of something that we’re building right now.”
