As Georgia Tech marches toward one of the worst seasons in its history, the question will be: who gets fired? When you go 2-10 as there is almost a near certainty of the final record, somebody’s head will roll. Saturday night was another uncompetitive trainwreck of a game in a 44-17 loss to Louisville.
Brent Key is the head coach. George Godsey is the offensive coordinator, and Jason Semore is the defensive coordinator.
It’s going to be tough to fire Brent Key, even though it’s not impossible. A 2-10 season puts anything on the table, but Key just got an extension last year after 3 straight bowl years. He gets credit for making Georgia Tech competitive following the Geoff Collins years, even though they are right back to that level of football. He’ll be on the hot seat, but he won’t be fired.
The offense is ranked 87th in the country under George Godsey. The offensive line has been a disaster, the play calling uninspired, and they’ve struggled to sustain drives with any consistency. In a word, the offense has been terrible. Godsey could be let go.
The defense is ranked 121st in the country. It’s been ravaged by injury, but the defense doesn’t do one thing well. It might be the worst we’ve ever seen at Georgia Tech, and there have been some really bad ones. Jason Semore has appeared overwhelmed as defensive coordinator. The defense has simply looked completely incompetent for large portions of the season. The players have looked lost and frequently are out of position.
Look, Godsey is a buddy of Key, and firing both coordinators after 1 year is something only football factories can afford to do.
Someone has to go, and if I am guessing, it’s Semore, who I hope is renting his home in Atlanta because someone isn’t going to make it to next season.
