Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key during an NCAA college football game against Bowling Green, Saturday, September 30, 2023, in Atlanta.
After Saturday’s 38-27 loss to Bowling Green, Georgia Tech head football coach Brent Key made a significant change to his coaching staff.
Kevin Sherrer was elevated to defensive coordinator, Key announced Sunday, while former defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker was moved to safeties coach. Thacker had been the Yellow Jackets’ defensive coordinator since 2019.
Sherrer, who has 27 years of coaching experience, came to Tech this season as co-defensive coordinator after working most recently as linebackers coach for the New York Giants.
“Our performance on defense this season hasn’t met the standard that we expect at Georgia Tech. While the responsibility for that does not fall on any one individual – in fact, as the head coach, that responsibility begins with me – I do feel that a new voice and perspective from the coordinator role is necessary for us to improve,” Key said. “Coach Sherrer is a veteran coach that has had great success in all aspects of coaching defense and at the highest levels of football. I’m confident in his ability to lead our defense and achieve the improvement that we expect and demand.”
