The 2025 college football coaching carousel continues to be one of the most hectic in recent memory as teams head into the final stretch of the regular season, with new Power 4 jobs opening up seemingly every single week.
This also means that rising stars and established names alike at other schools around the country have also been seeing their names linked to the top jobs available, and this includes Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key.
Per On3’s Kelly Quinlan, Key was recently asked what he thought about having his name linked to several prominent openings around the country, and he had a very blunt response to the question that reaffirmed his commitment to the Yellow Jackets.
The fourth-year head coach for Georgia Tech has some of the deepest ties any head coach can have to a university, as he was a 4-year starter on the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line from 1997-2000.
During his time as a player, he helped anchor one of the best offenses in all of college football and was named a First-Team All-ACC selection during his senior year in 2000.
Since taking over the reins as the head coach for Tech in 2022, Key has been the architect of the Yellow Jackets’ return to prominence, with his current squad holding a 7-1 record and being ranked inside the CFP top-25 for the first time since 2014.
