This move came after Georgia Tech suffered a 27-10 loss to UCF in Week 4. Georgia Tech quarterback Jeff Sims threw for 314 yards and 1 touchdown. Despite a solid outing from Sims, it was not enough to make it a competitive game.
After 4 games in 2022, Collins posted a 1-3 record. The team’s lone win this season happened against Western Carolina. Georgia Tech suffered double-digit losses to Clemson, Mississippi, and UCF. Georgia Tech scored a total of 10 points in the last 2 weeks. In Week 3, Georgia Tech was shut out by Mississippi at home, 42-0.
Since Collins took over the program in 2019, Georgia Tech did not win more than 3 games in a single season. His coaching record with the Yellow Jackets was 10-28 in less than 4 seasons.
Before Collins came to Georgia Tech, he had a successful run as Temple’s head coach. In 2 seasons at Temple, Collins went 15-10. In his final season at Temple, the Owls finished the 2018 season with an 8-4 record. Georgia Tech hired Collins in December 2018.
With Collins and Stansbury out at Georgia Tech, the school will be in search of a new athletic director and head coach. There will be important decisions to make throughout the season.
Georgia Tech will be on the road against Pittsburgh on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
