When Brent Key began his first full day as Georgia Tech’s full-time head coach, he had some disadvantages that most of his predecessors did not have. He has never been a full-time head coach, first of all.
But he also arrived to work Wednesday with advantages that few of them had. He has been the Yellow Jackets’ head coach, though as an interim, for the past two months. He has overseen the offense, defense and special teams and gotten to know intimately those units, their players and the coaches leading them.
While other candidates would have brought their own qualities to the job, none of them could have had that knowledge.
