Brent Key didn’t like the way Georgia Tech finished last season, so he made changes

Georgia Tech coach Brent Key is entering the new season with pressure to perform after a disappointing finish last year. The team rose to No. 7 in the polls after staying unbeaten with a win at Duke, but ultimately lost four of its final five games. Key attributes the slide to a false sense of superiority and too many distractions within the program, including the transfer portal and coaching carousel. The team struggled on defense and in situational football, and Key admits that the schedule getting harder exposed these flaws. Key is now facing the challenge of keeping the team winning without star quarterback Haynes King, who is out of eligibility, and offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner, who left for Florida. Key has made changes and is taking accountability for the team's performance.
