Brent Key finished his career as a Georgia Tech offensive lineman nearly 20 years ago. Now he’s back on the Flats coaching the offensive line on Geoff Collins’ staff - and to say he’s fired up is an understatement.

From his first public comments in February -- "I mean, hell, this is the most special place in the world" -- to his passion displayed in a twitter video with more than 25,000 views in its first six hours, Key plans to play an important role in changing 'the way people think about Georgia Tech football."

Key will also serve as Tech’s assistant head coach and run-game coordinator.
