Give Gailey His Due
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m not here to defend Chan Gailey’s coaching — who can defend starting Reggie Ball at QB for four years? — but I do think it’s worth noting how much talent he and his staff, some of which stayed on under CPJ, brought to Tech.
Take a look at nfldraftdog.com.
DE Michael Johnson is projected to go 14th in the 2009 draft.
DT Vance Walker is projected at No. 50.
LT Andrew Gardner is projected at No. 85.
Of course it’s ridiculously early to talk about the draft, but the point is CPJ inherited some players.
S Morgan Burnett and RB Jonathan Dwyer, among other Jackets, look like NFL players as well.
Some credit goes to one of the coaching holdovers, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach Giff Smith.
But some must go to Gailey, right?
