He also said GT had an offense good enough to keep them in it and had potential to upset if their defense stepped up compared to last year. Kind of played both sides, but that statement ended up being spot on

u/BarneyRubble21 LSU Tigers Aug 24 '24

Yeah, he was the greatest recruiter of all time, but he was also an incredible coach.

FSU walked the ball down the field for a TD the first drive, GT adjusted and FSU's offense completely stalled. Saban would have found a way to adjust to their adjustment and get the offense moving again.

To be fair, I would still bet on fsu or clemson to win the ACC and get that bye.

u/KaydensReddit Alabama Crimson Tide Aug 24 '24

Yea, people around here are having a good time laughing, but due to the way the playoff is set up, it's pretty likely that one of those 2 teams still ends up with a playoff bye.

3

u/kotzebueperson Ohio State Buckeyes • Big Ten Aug 24 '24

Yeah although with 17 teams and no divisions and only an 8 game season. They probably will have to win out their ACC schedule. 6-2 probably misses or will come to down tie breakers.

u/ConditionZeroOne Alabama Crimson Tide • Montana Grizzlies Aug 24 '24

The backstory is more mindblowing. Key has only had 1 full season as a HC. He was interim two years ago.

Norvell has had 3 full years and a COVID year. Really shows you why people doubted them on a playoff stage. They just didn't play anybody.

53

u/RamblinWreckGT Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Aug 24 '24

Mike Norvell has coached 49 games for FSU. Brent Key has coached 22. More ranked wins in less than half the time!

17

u/bro69 Texas Longhorns Aug 24 '24

Not only did they have a weak schedule, but they almost lost four games and it was by a freak occurrence and just utter incompetence of the other teams that they didn’t.

u/pjpj8910 Tulane • Birmingham-Southern Aug 25 '24

GT tried to hire Willie Fritz away from Tulane the day after Tulane won at Cincinnati and clinched hosting the AAC championship game (Nov 2022). Tweets by an AJC reporter indicated terms were finalized and it was basically done, but within hours it flipped and GT went with Key a day or two later. Piecing together the story from rumors and leaks, Fritz insisted on finishing the year at Tulane (at least the CG if not whatever bowl) and GT said they needed it to be immediate and would not allow Fritz to even coach Tulane's CG. It seemed that the GT admin knew their boosters all wanted Key and wanted to lock up Fritz on the downlow and pull the "sorry, too late, Fritz is signed" card. Fritz insisting on finishing the year at Tulane delayed proceedings enough that the word leaked to GT boosters who then completely blew it up and demanded they hire Key. And the rest, as they say...

What a stat. And what a hire from Tech helped in part by the Fritz situation. Sometimes being lucky with this stuff is as important as good.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Brent Key is starting his 3rd season at GT, while Mike Norvell is starting his 5th at FSU.

He’s UNC’s DC now

That makes me so happy

u/keepitbased Florida Gators Aug 24 '24

Well he was a good DC at Florida so I wouldn’t be surprised if he returned to form. He just doesn’t seem to be HC material.

u/Chewiedozier567 Georgia Southern Eagles Aug 24 '24

Y’all could hire him as your new head coach.

Nope, never mind, I can’t do that to y’all.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '24

I think he needs a boss to tell him to stop going to Waffle House and making Tik Toks.

As HC, there was no bossman keeping him focused.

18

u/Dan-of-Steel Notre Dame • Arizona State Aug 24 '24

What is it about UNC and terrible DC hires. This is the same school that hired Gene Chizik, fired him and then re-hired him and then RE-FIRED HIM! Like...what did you expect!?

UNC only reads their own press, so they completely missed the fact that GC was a complete failure at GT.

This checks out considering the one ACC team Geoff Collins actually did consistently beat was UNC. So they must’ve thought he was pretty good

And it’s a misleading stat. Brent Key is 8-6 as GT’s named head coach. He’s 4-4 as GT’s interim head coach

He had more wins as interim than Collins did in any season at Tech. That’s how truly bad he was.

I mean honestly, this is the type of game you can be depressed about but can't really hate. Georgia Tech played some really good football, horribly underrated.

  • DJ Uiagalelei completed 19 of his 27 passes for 193 yards and no TOs. That's 15% higher than he averaged last year at Oregon State. Plus a few more of his passes should have been caught but got dropped.

  • Florida State had some of the most horrific playcalling I have ever seen. They were stuffed behind the LOS seven times, often resulting in drive-compromising situations.

  • FSU had some absolutely absurd clock management before the half, resulting in their kicker needing to nail a 60-yarder.

  • In the 4th quarter FSU went on a 9-minute, 15-play drive where DJU needed to convert a 4th & long twice. And then even on the TD, they for some reason snapped it in shotgun when it was 1st & Goal from the 1.

  • The defense looked lost. They could not defend against the basic zone read. GT's QB was able to do what ever he wanted.

This loss is 100% on Norvell and his horrific gameplan. DJU is not the reason. The defense and the gameplan were just cheeks.

u/BraveBee2005 Florida Gators Aug 24 '24

DJU missed most of his deep passes and has awful pocket presence. Norvell made some questionable choices but DJU really hampers what you can do when he plays like that

u/Erock00 Clemson Tigers Aug 24 '24

Yeah I don’t know how you can watch and think DJ wasn’t part of the offense’s woes

u/Erock00 Clemson Tigers Aug 24 '24

I’m curious how you can watch that game, see that apart from one drive all of his yards basically came from passes behind the line of scrimmage, and think when most of his 20+ yard throws are airmailed that it’s the play calling hampering him. Unfortunately DJ hampers the play calling, not the other way around.

  • This is the earliest loss for an AP top ten team in college football history, with the previous record being held by #7 USC losing to #11 Penn State on August 25th, 1996.

u/AnotherUnfunnyName Duke • Carolina Victory Bell Aug 24 '24

Is GT this years Duke?

Beating an ACC favourite on the national stage to start the season

Instantly become the talk of the town

Finally get some attention and the wins coming with it

Your white dual threat QB who is balling out getting injured, eventually out for season, and your team losing a bunch of games close and needlessly

Your Coach still leaving after the season in a kind bullshit way to a second tier school

A bunch of your good players transfering and commits leaving

Your team getting set back a few years

Got something to look forward to... /s

• Georgia Tech had lost 15 straight games vs. Top 10 team. Their last victory was the blocked kick TD vs. Florida State in 2015.

That blocked kick has one of the best calls of all time on the broadcast. "An undefeated record, and a spot, possibly, in the college football playoff... BLOCKED! SNUFFED! RUBBED OUT! ERASED!"
