With the 2024 college football season fast approaching, Georgia Tech is set to face off against Florida State in Dublin, Ireland. The game marks the start of a new chapter for the defending ACC Champions and one of last year’s surprise teams in the conference. Brent Key had a successful debut season as head coach of his alma mater, leading the Yellow Jackets to their first bowl game win since 2016.
Despite his success, Key’s ranking on CBS Sports’ ACC Coaching Rankings for the upcoming season has sparked some debate. While Dabo Swinney claimed the top spot, Key was placed behind coaches like Bill O’Brien and Manny Diaz who have had mixed success in the college football world.
However, Key has been making significant changes to the defensive coaching staff and bringing in new talent through the transfer portal to address the team’s weaknesses from last season. With a challenging schedule ahead, Key is determined to make strides in the coaching rankings and elevate Georgia Tech to new heights in the upcoming season.
