Accolades for Coach Key

[Flywheel]

Brent Key, Georgia Tech
Sometimes the vibe around a team is just … interesting. There’s an energy under Key - starting with the second half turnaround after he took over last year - and it all worked in a blast of a campaign that was all over the place.

Georgia Tech started out 2-3, the remaining schedule seemed daunting, and a fifth straight losing season appeared to be a lock. And then came the miracle in Miami, a thriller over North Carolina, and the team just kept on finding wins until it became bowl eligible for the first time since 2018.

Regular Season Grade: A

If not for Jeff Brohm, Key would have a strong case for ACC Coach of the Year. Georgia Tech faced backlash for promoting from within instead of pursuing outside options, but it paid off. At 6-6, the Yellow Jackets are bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016 and ended their regular season with an encouraging one-score loss to No. 1 Georgia. Finding quarterback Haynes King in the portal was a revelation as Georgia Tech's offense went from averaging 17.2 points last season to 31.2 points this year.

I was feeling down after bowling green but going to chalk that loss up as a fluke. Gotta look at the total body of work.

I can already see it now, Key wins National Coach of the Year then finishes 8th for ACC Coach of the Year.

I added "Laff" to your post, but we really, really, REALLY need a "Shaking My Head" reaction emoji!

No, it’s because Mack Brown will still get more votes, despite more underachieving

I like Mack Brown, but I think it’s just about time for him to retire. I would hate to see him do like Bobby Bowden and stay too long.
