Caralla had been with the Yellow Jackets football program for the last four years but was let go one day after Brent Key was named the new head coach of Georgia Tech. 

Caralla served as the head strength and conditioning coach for three different NCAA Division I FBS programs before making his way to Georgia Tech.

Caralla's career stops include directing strength and conditioning at Louisiana-Lafayette and North Texas and serving as an assistant at Michigan, Mississippi State, and Georgia Tech. His first stint at Georgia Tech came in 2010-11.

Georgia Tech is undergoing some change with Key being promoted to the full-time position. Along with Caralla, offensive coordinator Chip Long and wide receivers coach Del Alexander were also let go. 

It is going to be interesting to see what direction Key takes the offense and the strength and conditioning staff. Keep an eye out here for any updates.
