With Hurricane Ian now behind us, let me catch up on NCAA FBS head coaching news. On Monday of this week, Georgia Tech fired head football coach Geoff Collins. Collins was 10-28 in slightly over three seasons at the helm of the Yellow Jackets. Here is a look
at the Georgia Tech
football program since 2008 (the
first year that of complete data I have).
This time period only covers head football
coach Paul Johnson (2008-2018), and Geoff Collins (2019-2022*).
After
the figure below is a more
detailed look at
the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket football program during head coach Collins'
tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com. (The vertical school color bars represent seasons where head coaches changed).
