A college football coach's job security has seemingly never been as tenuous as it has in the midst of the 2025 season, a rather unpredictable campaign filled with upsets and surprises. As many as nine Power 4 head coaching jobs are currently vacant, which means there has been no shortage of chatter and speculation surrounding coaches who are still employed, particularly those currently enjoying success.
Georgia Tech's Brent Key is one such coach. Key's Yellow Jackets have taken a leap in his third year leading the program, as the team is 8-1 and at No. 17, is ranked inside the College Football Playoff rankings for the first time since 2014. Naturally, Key has popped up as a speculative name for some of college football's most attractive job openings.
