Geoff Collins’ tenure as Georgia Tech’s head coach recently came to an end following a 27-10 loss to a flawed UCF team, leaving his final record as head coach on the Flats at 10-28.
As with any coach being fired, there’s been some resulting discourse about the job that is now open and how attractive it will be to potential candidates who may be targeted to fill the opening. A significant amount of this discourse from the national media has seemed to paint Collins as something of a victim – someone who didn’t understand “what he was getting into”, who suffered from a “lack of institutional alignment”, and who just wasn’t able to “connect to the city and its culture”.
