Georgia Tech’s Drastic Coaching Changes Lead to Promotion for NFL Legend
Former NFL star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins receives a promotion after Georgia Tech HC Brent Key decided to fire four coaches.
Georgia Tech made a significant coaching shakeup following a fourth straight loss to Louisville, leading to the dismissal of four coaches. Among those affected is former NFL star DeAndre Hopkins, who will take on the role of primary wide receivers coach for the remainder of the 2026 season. Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time All-Pro First Team member, brings a wealth of experience to his new position, having played for the Yellow Jackets from 2010 to 2012.
The coaching changes come after the Yellow Jackets finished the season with a 2-7 overall record and one win in conference games.
