Ga Tech Coach Key Says 2 Assistant Coaches Leaving Program

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech coach Brent Key is making some more changes to his staff, announcing Wednesday that a pair of defensive assistants are leaving the program.

David Turner, assistant head coach and defensive coordinator, and defensive line coach Larry Knight will not be retained, Key said in a brief statement.

Turner is a 36-year veteran coach at numerous Power Five schools who was added to the Georgia Tech staff by former coach Geoff Collins prior to the 2022 season.

Knight previously coached under Collins at Temple and followed him to Atlanta after being hired as the Yellow Jackets’ coach prior to the 2019 season.

Collins was fired after a 1-3 start to his fourth season, with Key taking over as interim head coach. After the Yellow Jackets went 4-4 the rest of the way, Key was given the full-time job.
