Georgia Tech went from a system-based approach under Paul Johnson to a branding-based one under Geoff Collins, hoping to harness the advantages of Atlanta.
Unfortunately for the program, the only part of the ATL that translated were the L's. Hired prior to the 2019 season, Collins had 28 losses in 38 games as Georgia Tech's coach, including two ugly ones to begin this year. He was fired Monday, along with athletic director Todd Stansbury, as a program known for steadiness under Johnson and others plummeted to the bottom of the ACC and the Power 5.
