Gailey’s got Tech on solid footing
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I get the sense that whatever Chan Gailey’s doing with the Yellow Jackets these days, it’s working.
They just seem to have a rock solid mindset working. Should Tech beat Maryland, and, well, they should, I wonder if that’ll hold through the off week.
I’m betting it does. This team seems to have a solid group of player-leaders, some seniors, some not (Tashard Choice among them), and it’s hard to imagine a big letdown unless there are significant injuries.
Georgia Tech’s offense obviously looks different, and feels that way, too, even for linemen. “We’re doing a lot of new stuff,” said center Kevin Tuminello. “Some of the same concepts are carrying over. There’s a lot of new terminology.”
Gailey said, “I have to give [offensive coordinator] Patrick Nix and the staff a lot of credit because they’ve done a super job of putting people in position to make plays, and spreading things out. The new ideas they’ve brought to the offense have been wonderful.”
