Georgia Tech football coach Brent Key might in some hot water after a recent tweet.
Yellow Jackets player Brandon Adams recently passed away, and the conditions aren’t known at this time. You’d think that’d be a good time to stay away from Twitter. (RELATED: Legendary College Football Coach Shockingly Retires)
Our hearts are broken by the sudden passing of Brandon Adams. He was a tremendous teammate and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. https://t.co/bNXgnwwu03 pic.twitter.com/LaZlicpnEg

Not for Key because GT got a four-star recruit at the same time Adams passed away. Key tweeted and deleted, “GT has always, and will continue to attract GREAT MEN. Today we lost a GREAT MAN, and gained another GREAT MAN! Even in dark days, the future is bright.”

My friends, that’s one of the dumbest tweets that I’ve ever seen before in my life. What the hell was Key thinking?
Sure, bagging a big recruit is awesome, but maybe don’t tweet about it shortly after a player died. Just a thought. Use a little common sense! It’s not that difficult when it comes to tweeting shortly after a death. This isn’t rocket science.
Obviously, it was smart of him to delete this insanely stupid Tweet, but he never should have hit the send button to begin with.
This is a first ballot hall of fame idiot tweet. There’s just no other way to spin it. What a truly stupid thing to write on the internet.
I certainly can’t imagine his teammates and the family of Brandon Adams are too pleased.
