After fewer than four seasons at the Institute, Geoff Collins has been fired as the head football coach for Tech, with Athletic Director Todd Stansbury being dismissed as well on Monday morning. The move comes with the Jackets sitting at 1–3 (0–1 ACC), with back-to-back multiscore losses. Collins becomes only the fourth Tech coach to be fired and the second to be fired mid-season. His 10–28 record at the Institute is the lowest by a full-time coach in Jacket history.
Collins was hired from Temple University, where he spent two seasons prior to joining Tech. He led the Owls to a 15–10 record, including a mark of 11–5 in the American Athletic Conference.
