Georgia Tech has hired Temple's Geoff Collins as its new head coach, the school announced Friday.
Collins, a native of Conyers, Georgia, had a 15-10 record in two seasons at Temple in his first college head-coaching position. He was a graduate assistant at Georgia Tech from 1999 to 2001 and served as its recruiting coordinator in 2006.
Sources told ESPN that Collins, 47, met with Georgia Tech athletic director Todd Stansbury in New York on Wednesday. Yahoo Sports earlier reported that Collins met with Stansbury and other Georgia Tech officials.
Collins would replace former Tech coach Paul Johnson, who resigned last week, after compiling an 82-59 record in 11 seasons.
