This season is looking like every other one under Chan.

I wonder how much we have to pay UCF for our old coach back?

Hey puppies - watch out with your comments coming over here. It is a long season and your team has a lot to prove, yet.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I absolutely cannot believe I am getting paid this much to do this. I had 4 years to develop a quarterback, but couldn’t do it…couldn’t develop a backup or a replacement QB either. Completely wasted the most talented player in college football in Calvin Johnson. Always lose games that I shouldn’t. Never beat UGA. GREATEST JOB EVER!!!

I am going to blitz you all day. Even if your offense is picking up my blitzes b/c coaches have finally figured out my defense, I am going to blitz you! I am going to blitz you even if my blitzing is not only ineffective, but also creates open receivers for short pass plays as our safeties/linebackers have to play man while linebackers/safeties are blitzing. And when Chan Gailey leaves for the NFL (incredibly a team will want him?!?) I want to become the head coach of GT until the head coaching position opens up at Ohio State…then I want to coach there. And when I’m head coach, I am even going to blitz on offense!

Poor old nerdy herders, your team is pathetic. Tenuta is the most overrated assistant coach in the watered down weak sister ACC. Bennett is a decent third string QB, that is why he sat and watched Reggie Ball. The reason that Gailey hasn’t developed a QB during the last five years is that no really good QB wants to go to the Institute and play for a consistently mediocre team. The only way Fatso O’Liary was able to field competetive teams was to load them up with ineligible players which fit his less than sterling character. If you whiners can come up with enough money to hire a good coach after you run Gailey out of town he will stay two or three years until a good head coaching job comes open. No good coach will stay at the Institute with your fine group of back biting arm chair coaches who want to run things from the west stands. Why do you all continue to let Taz Anderson throw around so much influence? He was an average player on average teams while he was in college and I don’t see any listing for head coach on his resume. As long as the Bunglebugs continue to whine, cry, and blame every loss on the officials and calculus they won’t get any sympathy from the average college football fans or the media. Just drop down to Division I-AA and try to compete with App State and Wofford.

I’ve supported Chan Gailey and was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt re Reggie B, but unless Bennett can turn things around PDQ, I’ll join others in the call for Chan’s head (and Tenuta’s) at season’s end.

We’ve beat a horrible ND team and Samford for our only wins in our last seven games and play just well enough to lose.

Clean house.

Something ain’t working.

Chan will never be a big winner but GT won’t fire him because he is a good man and he will win 6-7 games a year. But Chan needs to learn from his mistakes, last year he let Ball play and didn’t give Bennett no snaps now he needs to let Booker and Nesbit play some series. Bennett just has too much growing to do and won’t break defenses down.

By Navigator

I see the faux UGA alumni are showing their IQ again. However, the Jackets situation yesterday is regrettable, but expected. The team leadership is poor, and the new offensive coach is over his head. Chan is very much like so many NFL retreads, that teams bring simply because they have experience. Mediocre experience seems to out weigh young exuberance (Gailey (experience) vs Richt (exuberant young assistant)). It can happen anywhere (USC, Texas, Notre Dame, GT), but eventually some one in charge will realize the mistake and correct it. A little support for Tenuta, he works with what he gets in new recruits. He attacks, because his team can’t stop Duke if they play vanilla defense. A comment on Tech’s previous coach, who took UCF to their first bowl, and now is building them into a power. Ask Texas, who came from behind to finally win by two points.

Suggestions for the upcoming game (s). First, we need stronger line play so maybe some of these Freshman can play more. Second, Move these punt returners to possession receivers and see if they can catch passes better than return punts since we are not catching many passes that are catcheable. Third, Find two more punt returners. Fourth, Put the option/dive/pitch/pass back in the offense that John Dewberry, Shawn Jones, Joe Hamilton, George Godsey ran so effectively along with the other offensive schemes. Fifth, get a second Fullback that can run the ball to provide a quick hitting runner between the tackles. Maybe Dwyer can run there a few times a game. Sixth, provide info. to Bond as the game progresses on what our third down conversion ratio is, our passing completion percentage, average yards per carry, etc..maybe that will help him make better decisions on plays and people to involve in the plays.

Bottom line, Gailey doesn’t know how to maximize the talent he has nor does he know how to motivate. These kids take on the personality of their coach. The D is always fired up and for many years, has shouldered this team. Courtesy of Tenuta (only good coach on this team). But the rest of the team is as dazed as Chan does anytime he plays UGA. He’s an okay head coach but that’s it. Mediocre at best. And that’s all Tech will be unless we get someone with FIRE to motivate these kids. They have the talent. No question. Aside from Choice on offense, no one wants to step up and frankly, doesn’t know how…..courtesy of Gailey. Sick to my stomach. But they’re still my team. PS: UCF has new stadium, one of the largest enrollments in Florida and are in the middle of a hotbed of talent. O’Leary would rather fudge is resume a bit more than come back to Tech where he has to put up with a bunch of whiny fans. BUT, we do have a new AD how understands the business and will not put up with mediocracy much longer. Expect big changes after this season. I hear that the USF coach likes Atlanta.

John, we are so very fortunate to have you reporting about Tech. Your blog remarks told us a great deal.

Receivers making reads and adjusting on most routes … no wonder Bennett throws late. He is hunting for his receivers. Every play must be a new adventure.

all the moving around of offensive linemen … no wonder the offensive line’s game execution is off. This movement is very difficult to do with defenses adjusting before their eyes.

Multiple reads and adjustments is the way the NFL operates. This is why most NFL rookies appear to be lost and confused. This is why it takes years for an NFL quarterback to quickly make all of those reads (just look at Eli Manning). Making wrong reads/adjustments is why NFL coaches limit what they ask of rookie receivers.

NFL teams integrate only a few college rookies into their starting offensive lineup each year. That does help. And the NFL is not limited by the NCAA regarding practice time.

Once again, great report!

By Gailey Can't Coach

September 24, 2007 2:34 AM | Link to this

Why should ANYONE be surprised? GT signs a mediocre coach to a 5-yr extension at $1 Million/Year and then the coach produces a mediocre product on the field year after year…It was in the cards when this BUFFOON stuck with a mediocre QB for 4 years who only REGRESSED throughout his entire career and he also single-handedly destroyed the GT-UGAy rivalry.

Chan Gailey can’t coach his way out of a cardboard box.

Chan Gailey can’t develop talented players to their potential.

Chan Gailey can’t motivate and prepare a team for games and even takes the blame for it repeatedly.

Chan Gailey has pulled off the biggest con-job in the history of GT Sports.

Once again we are shown a flash a team brilliance, taken to the top of the mountain and then pushed off by this incompetent head coach who would be out-coached by Spongebob Squarepants. Chan Gailey doesn’t know HOW to win a big game because he’s too busy COACHING NOT TO LOSE.

Now we’re headed for another humiliating defeat at the hands of Clemson, UGAy, etc with no Top 25 finish and a Backwoods Bowlgame. I’m so glad I didn’t get sucker-punched by DanRad and his inflated sticker price for season tickets. This product will NEVER be worth ANY PRICE as long as Chan Gailey is the head coach of GT Football.

How can one coach waste so much quality talent year after year? Oh, I forgot…He’d rather be remembered as a “Molder of Men” than as a great football coach.

Therein lies the problem…

Bottom line is, our team can’t finish. For this, you have to blame coaching. Period.

Matt, maybe you can help us out here. Im very curious about a couple of stats. First, points scored for and against in the fourth quarter under Gailey. Second, our record in close game after the third quarter (when Tech is either winning or losing by a touchdown or less). And finally, what is our record over the last four games of the season?

First of all Mr. Long is a cheap shot player…did you see how many late hits or cheap shots he took? Watch the film again…totally unnecessary.

As for the passes…how many of Bennett’s passes were dropped? Did anyone actually count them?

Run the ball with Dwyer — he averaged about 5 yards per carry.

I doubt if many of you yahoo posters were at the game or even watched it on TV…you’re all band-wagon, light weight, can’t even call you Fans.

I love GT and will always pull for them but UGA has one thing they might not ever have. UGA knows how to win, GT doesn’t. That was evident last Saturday. UGA won in overtime despite letting Bama score to tie the game in the last five minutes. All the momentum had swung to Bama but UGA still won the game. GT had the lead and should have won but one muffed fumble and a false start on fourth and one and that’s the ball game. UGA has the attitude they’re going to win every game. GT has the attitude they hope to win. Util GT has that mentality, they will never be great. That’s why GT wins some of the great games and looses the ones they should win. It’s easy to get up for the big ones. Those two games on Saturday sums up where each program is. GT will never be great until they learn how to win. Go GT!!!!

I have to agree with Greg. I thought the senior leadership on this team would help the Jackets win a game like this one. A very young UGA team was very impressive bouncing back from adversity to win their game. I am so tired of watching Tech rely on defense to win games. GT’s offense has stunk since Chan has been on the flats.

There is nothing anyone can do to get rid of Chan Gailey until his contract is over or he dies in office

Contract extensions are a double-edged sword, which is why you’d BETTER KNOW who you’re offering them to before they sign them! Think Notre Dame might be rethinking that 10-yr, $30 Million extension right about now?

We are STUCK with Chan Gailey for the rest of this season PLUS the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons…And we’re going to be riding the peaks and valleys of college football mediocrity in the meantime.

The 300 pound gorilla in the room is why did Gailey make the totally illogical decision not to kick a “gimme” field goal with approx 5 minutes left to pull within 2 points. At that time Tech had the momentum and the time to stop VA and get 3 more points to win. How many games has Chan cost us with poor game decisions, poor preparation, and putting individuals ahead of the team’s welfare.
