The Yellow Jackets lost their final six games of 2021. Combined score of the last two: 100-0. Two days after the finale, Tech’s best player, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, announced he was transferring. Collins fired the coordinator for his bad offense but retained the coordinator for his worse defense.
Some Tech supporters already were salty with Collins for unwisely telling them that they just didn’t want to see the progress. Now a third consecutive three-win season had ended poorly, followed by a terrible start to the offseason. There was little reason to think then that Collins’ Year 4 could be something more.
There is now, though.
