Report: Geoff Collins has been let go at Georgia Tech
Following their loss to UCF yesterday, Georgia Tech has decided to part ways with Geoff Collins, per the Atlanta Journal Constitution. AD Todd Stansbury is likely to follow him, the paper reports. Sources told FootballScoop Sunday that Brent Key will be named interim head coach.
Monday update: The AJC confirms Collins and Stansbury have both been dismissed.
A special meeting of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association board has been called for Monday afternoon, numerous outlets have shared.
In their game against UCF over the weekend, the Yellow Jackets had their fourth punt of the season blocked, which the Knights returned for a touchdown.
Collins was 10-28 in three seasons and some change leading the program, including a 1-3 start this fall.
Per his contract, his buyout is $11.37 million.
Taking over a roster that was built for Paul Johnson's option offense, Collins faced a daunting task in rebuilding the Yellow Jackets roster as well as the program, and while they recruited really well, the results on the field weren't showing up.
Before taking over in Atlanta, Collins went 15-10 over two seasons leading Temple and had recent defensive coordinator stops at Mississippi State and Florida.
