Temple Football Head Coach Geoff Collins emerged early as a top candidate for the open Georgia Tech position following the retirement of Paul Johnson, and the Yellow Jackets looked primed to make Collins their next coach.
The Georgia Tech job is an interesting one. It sits in a hotbed of recruiting at the heart of Georgia, but the job itself also incurs a rebuilding process as the program looks to transition from Johnson’s triple-option attack into something more... hmm... modern?
Collins, who hails from Conyers, GA, went 15-10 over the last two seasons at Temple, his only head coaching experience to date.
