Pursuing a lopsided loss to rival Georgia on Saturday and a disappointing 3-9 period, Ga Tech mentor Geoff Collins has shaken up his staff.

Offensive coordinator Dave Patenaude, co-defensive coordinator Nathan Burton and cornerbacks mentor Jeff Popovich were being all fired Sunday.

“As I have begun analyzing our method and figuring out the points we need to have to do to be additional prosperous, I have decided that a alter in management on the two sides of the ball is vital,” Collins stated in a assertion. “I think that new voices in these critical positions on our staff will enable us to do a better task of regularly putting our players in the very best placement to satisfy the significant requirements we all have for our software.”

Collins has faced greater force this season. The former Temple mentor took in excess of the program in 2019, shifting from the triple possibility to a much more common spread offense, and has struggled to find achievement.

In 3 seasons, Tech hasn’t finished higher than .500 and has an total file of 9-25.

This season, the Yellow Jackets fielded the next-worst offense in the ACC in terms of factors for each sport (24.)

The defense gave up the most passing yards per attempt in the meeting with 9.78.
