Georgia Tech Football: Dave Patenaude and Andrew Thacker named Offensive and Defensive Coordinators

It’s been a rough week for Temple. First, that whole Manny Diaz mess happened. And now, it looks like defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker will officially be joining former Temple HC Geoff Collins’ new staff at Georgia Tech.

Thacker is another young coach with a pretty impressive resume so far, that includes stops with the Atlanta Falcons, UCF, and Kennesaw State, prior to coming to Temple.
