Gailey vs. Friedgen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I arrived in Atlanta in 2002, post-George O’Leary and a year after Ralph Friedgen won the ACC title in his first season at Maryland. So I wasn’t here for the Friedgen offenses at Georgia Tech.
But I’ve been fascinated by the love many Tech fans have for Friedgen vs. the coach they’ve got, Chan Gailey. In my eyes, they’ve both been pretty successful. Let’s look at the numbers.
Friedgen has the better record, 53-26 vs. 40-29. But Gailey has the better record in the past three-plus seasons, 26-17 vs. 22-18.
Gailey leads head-to-head 3-1 and has a three-game winning streak against Friedgen.
Friedgen won an ACC championship. Gailey won a division championship.
Friedgen has had two losing seasons. Gailey has had none.
Gailey has never had a losing record in ACC play. Friedgen has, twice.
Friedgen has had three 10-win seasons. Gailey has had none.
