ATLANTA (AP) — New athletic director J Batt knows most Georgia Tech fans want to know who’s going to be the Yellow Jackets’ next permanent football coach. The fans will have to wait, however, to see how Batt goes about his business and learn how Brent Key performs as interim coach after a 2-0 start. Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera wasted no time getting Batt to replace Todd Stansbury as AD.

He was introduced Monday at Georgia Tech.
