Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key made another hire today, bringing in Vanderbilt running backs coach Norval McKenzie to coach the same position he did with the Commodores. With the hiring of McKenzie, there are not many spots left on the key starting staff as the Yellow Jackets’ head coach.
Brent Kaye is about to finish assembling his first staff as head coach.

McKenzie isn’t the first key hire this week. Georgia quality control assistant and former Southern Miss and MTSU offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner has joined the staff to call plays and coach tight ends, a similar role held by former offensive coordinator Chip Long.
Former App State offensive line coach Jip Wade joined the staff this week. Chris Weinke has not officially announced whether he will continue as quarterbacks coach, but as of today he is recruiting and visiting. I think it’s conceivable that Weinke will stay on staff to coach the quarterbacks.
Wide receivers coach is still a position on the offensive side that has yet to be filled.
So far, all the defense personnel are going to stay. The defense has seen significant improvements since the firing of Geoff Collins and the coaches on that side of the ball have been on the road recruiting.
