Georgia Tech fires four assistant coaches following fourth straight loss
Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key has fired four assistant coaches following a 44-17 home loss to Louisville. The defeat marks the team's fourth consecutive loss, leaving the Yellow Jackets with a 2-7 overall record and 1-5 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The dismissed staff members include defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Jason Semore, offensive line coach Allen Mogridge, outside linebackers/defensive ends coach Kyle Pope, and wide receivers coach Jafar Williams. Vinnie Sunseri will assume defensive play-calling duties, while DeAndre Hopkins will move up to serve as wide receivers coach.
Key described the team's recent performance as “embarrassing” and “a joke,” stating that the changes were necessary to put players in the best position for the final three games of the season. The team faces Clemson this weekend, where they are listed as significant underdogs.
