In case you missed it, Georgia Tech announced that it had dismissed Offensive Coordinator/QB Coach Dave Patenaude, Co-Defensive Coordinator/S Coach Nate Burton, and Special Teams Coordinator/CB Coach Jeff Popovich, this past weekend. As you can expect, people (the FTRS staff included) started speculating about who Tech would hire/who they wanted Tech to hire, so I wanted to take some time and take a look at some of these candidates.
For the purposes of this article, we’re going to be looking at the offensive and defensive coordinator positions. While it appears that Andrew Thacker will stay on staff for the time being, there have been several rumors that it will be in a reduced role, so I anticipate someone else will be carrying the defensive coordinator moniker next season.
