To my understanding this pretty much is literally because George O'Leary stepped in and personally endorsed him with AD Todd Stansbury. Collins got his start on O'Leary's staff.
Geoff Collins (HC) -> O'Leary GA/RA, Gailey RC
Brent Key (AHC, OL) -> All-American Center for O'Leary
Will Glover (Offensive Q.C.) -> WR for O'Leary
Marco Coleman (DE/OLB) - All-American OLB for O'Leary
Lewis Caralla (Head Football S&C Coach) -> Former Asst S&C at GT under Johnson
Kevin Cone (Asst. Director of Football Operations) > WR under Gailey/Johnson
Tashard Choice (RB) -> All-ACC RB under Gailey
Nathan Burton (Co-DC/Safeties) -> Player under Gailey/Johnson.
All of the high profile positions not filled by Collins coaches brought over from Temple were direct and immediate O'Leary connections. A lot of the grunt back fill in the program are indirect Collins and direct GT connections.
