Dolphins to talk to Gailey
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The NFL coaching carousel reached the Georgia Tech campus Friday when athletics director Dan Radakovich confirmed that he has given permission to the Miami Dolphins to talk to Chan Gailey about their head coaching opening.
What do you think of Gailey going for an interview? What would you think if he got the job? If that happens, who do you think Tech should consider for a new head coach?

I cannot believe the Dolphins are interested in him. They had him once as OC and were just as bad then as they are now, if not worse. Surely the Miami Dolphins can do better that this guy. He not only is not a has been coach he is a never was coach. Therefore, he is perfect for Tech. As a lifelong Dol-fan if they hire this bozo I am cashing in my chips……

Interesting that the first posts are dawg fans wanting Chan to stay.
Please, please, please hire Chan away from us. Chan may just be ready to go so he won’t have to offer up an explanation of why he didn’t play TB when RB was struggling so badly, as Furman Bisher stated he owes all us GT fans.
If Chan goes, we need to get Wisenhut here fast.

As a dawg fan, I’d hate to see him go. But in the real world, With what he has to work with, He’s a pretty good Coach. There are very few guys who can make it work in today’s NFL because of the money and mind set of the players. Saban nor the ole ball coach could do it, and they rushed back to the college game. Chan probally could. The x’s and o’s is not the deal in the NFL, It’s chemistry and making those guys play for you, ala Dungy, chower etc.

I think Gailey should jump at the chance… although I don’t see the fins actually taking him. I’m sure he’d be getting paid a lot more than $1 mill with them.
That brings up another question, though… if he were to leave Tech, who would settle for his job? Given their fairly successful year, I suppose it wouldn’t be too difficult, but still harder than at schools with more popular football/athletic programs.

And people worry about global warming, that is the least of our troubles. Miami could go down to their local mall set up a booth and find a better coach on a slow day. “And what was the first early sign the world was coming to an end?” Well you had the thing with the guy at Home Depot, then Miami hires Gailey, the world has officially lost its mind. You just have to have a certain amount of common sense to operate this world we live in and once the dial falls below that necessary amount it is a free fall. If Miami pays Chan a multi million dollar contract to leave a place that might have paid Miami big time, if asked, to take him, no action in the world or out of it is going to save us. Where are the green groups on the drainage of rational thinking, the endangerment of the thinking man? Will the last one left even have the where with all to even turn the damn light out.

Who are you people that are talking about Tech getting Whisenhunt? With his popularity, the number of NFL teams vying for his services and the deep pockets of NFL owners (see: Arthur Blank) compared to collegiate athletic programs, why would Whisenhunt ever consider college, especially Tech?

You’re having delusions of grandeur aks. But maybe you guys should start looking at some upstarts willing to risk their coaching career for a job with the black hole of coaching.

As a Tech fan, I hope he goes. He can be credited with puting together a great staff and solid recruiting, but his game day decisions have been a mess. I blame Chan for two losses this year.
Promote Tenuta before we lose him to someone else.
For those who want Whisenhunt, he will be a pro coach this year unless he feels the draw to GT is too much to pass on.
If Chan does go, there is not doubt that CJ will too.

BZZZ,
I was just explaining to Chris why Whisenhunt might consider it, although his connection with Tech would be the ONLY reason why he would consider it. Other than that, I know there’s no way in ‘heck’ that he would take that kind of pay cut. Maybe you should’ve read what was said before my post ;).
Anyway, I know it’s got to be tempting for Gailey to leave. As Tech fans, my husband and I are very excited about the possibility of a new coach. I’m sure John T and Nix would be first in line to take the heach coaching position. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Hey Techsters… When the UGA fans want him to stay and you guys want him to go speaks volumes about his ability. And you guys are dreaming if you think any decent big time coach wants to come to Tech, even if he is an alum. It’s funny watching you all trying to convince yourselves of this pipe dream of some super coach wanting to come there.
By aks is dumb
January 5, 2007 03:55 PM | Link to this
aks, you can’t be serious. Whisenhunt would never consider a mediocre football program when he’s also getting offers from the Steelers, Cardinals, Falcons, etc. There are some exceptions with college programs like Notre Dame, USC, and (apparently) Alabama. Georgia Tech does not qualify as a program that could steal away NFL head coaches.

Well, I don’t believe Gailey’s leaving is even an issue for CJ, might be a plus, but that is another issue. I believe most people already think CJ is off to more lucrative pastures. Everyone will be ecstatic if he decides to stay, but I can’t see anyone blaming him or being mad at him for leaving.
Gailey is truly altogether different. Everyone (well, most) would be ecstatic to see him leave and angry if he stays.
From someone who knows Wisenhunt personally, I heard that the only college job he would consider is Georgia Tech. Now, I heard that about a year ago. so not sure if that is still the case.
The fact that all these UGA supporters are on here nor wanting to see Gailey go should be proof enough of what people think of him.
I bet Rad is trying to get Miami to take Gailey, waiving any contract payouts that might be in place. I did get a laugh out of the comments about Gailey taking Reggie with him.
As far as who I’d like to see:
Wisenhunt June Jones from Hawaii (if Tenuta doesn’t stay, we might just get Glanville as DC) The guy from Boise State The guy from BYU The guy from Rutgers (long-shot, maybe impossible) Jim Grobe
Hey, it’s a dream list with some possibility.

Oh yea, and I’ll just say the guy I was talking to played with Wisenhunt and talks to him frequently, even goes to Pit to see games from time to time.
Like I said, I have not talked to him about Ken Wisenhunt in about a year, but the idea of coming back to Tech was something the two of them did talk about.
Time changes things though so we may not have a chance.

PLEASE PLEASE TAKE HIM MIAMI!!!
Actually, I’ve got a better idea, DRad should fire Gailey, so he pretty much has to go, and then pay Chris Petersen (of Boise State) WHATEVER we have to to get him on the Flats immediately.
That guy is an incredible coach, and he’s at a program that can’t win a national champioinship. He needs to be at a school that is in a major conference (GT!!) so he’ll have a shot at one because just like Urban Meyer, he got his start at a WAC/suck school and now needs to move into the big time and take a real school to the big dance. With the talent that we will have next year (even if Calvin leaves, but especially if he does not) we could at least be in contention for the National title.
Please DRad, fire Gailey and hire Petersen, GT fans everywhere will pour money.

Bobby Dodd
Bud Carson
Bill Fulcher
Pepper Rodgers
Bill Curry
Bobby Ross
Bill Lewis
George O’Leary
Chan Gailey
I DARE you UGA fans to compare those guys to the LOSERS that have been head coaches in Athens over the years.
When’s the last time a UGA coach won a National Championship AND took a team to the Super Bowl? When was the last time a UGA coach was even LOOKED AT for a job at the University of Alabama? When was the last time a UGA coach was being interviewed by the Miami Dolphins? When was the last time a UGA coach was head coach of UCLA?

Chan has been a consistent winner at Ga. Tech. This ranks up there with Spurrier winning at Duke. Nowadays, Tech is a stepping stone job for something bigger. The feeling is if I can win there I can win anywhere. Face it, even golden boy Bill Curry ditched his alma mater the first chance he got. His qualification for Alabama-He won at Tech, he must be good. Tech probably won’t have a long term coach for quite some time. If he wins everyone will want him, if he loses- Tech fans will want to ditch him. With the talent that wants to go to Tech anything over a six win year is due to coaching.

They think UGA football is this “great historic” program.
Get over it, it’s NOT.
Whereas Tech may not have been all that steady over the past 30+ years, it HAS had flashes of brilliance, and WAS steady for the first 80 or so years of football.
First of all, there’s the Heisman Award. Second of all, there’s the Boddy Dodd “coach of the year” award. Third, there are 4 LEGITIMATE national championships, most recently in 1990. We play teams like Notre Dame for our out-of-conference games, and have traditionally done so (for example, in the movie “Rudy”, the title character plays in a game against Tech). We even started playing Auburn again, until they quit on us.
UGA is the typical lower-tier land-grant university, and will continue to dominate the “series” against Tech, but Georiga Tech will CONTINUE to win more national championships, and will CONTINUE to have more prestige - and those are just the FACTS.

In reality the ones that poster threw out are just as legit as the ones the low self esteem crowd brags about incessently. But as another guy pointed out last night.

Hey, “UGA FANS = DELUSIONAL”…
One of the two in-state schools is top 10 all time in wins in college football. Guess who it is? Not Tech.
Yes, Tech has won 4 NCs and UGA has 2 consensus championships. However, Georgia has won their conference more often than Tech has. That’s called consistency.
But there isn’t any unbiased commentator that would honestly say that Tech is a better program than Georgia historically. That’s just a fact. And clearly no one would say that Tech is a better program now.
And by the way, your Heisman award is so prestigious that NONE of your players have ever won it.
Tech was great in the 20s and 50s. Woo hoo! Georgia has consistently been a winning college football program and is one of the 5 best in college football since Richt arrived. Tech can’t compete with that.
It would seem you’re the one suffering from delusions. Those, sir, are the FACTS.

I really don’t mind Chan, I liked the man and wanted him to succeed. On the other hand, I wouldn’t mind a guy who can pull MAKE his players succeed cough Jon Tenuta. We have so much talent on offense, but we can’t seem to use it! Here’s my candidates for the job: Jon Tenuta
Bill Cowher
Boise State guy
Jon Tenuta
Chris Ault (coach from Nevada)
Charlie Weis
Larry Coker (no thugs, though)
Jon Tenuta
That guy at UCLA
The Fridge
Bill Purcells (probably won’t happen, though)
JON TENUTA!!!!
And what I would give to see Bobby Ross return to Georgia Tech.
Basically, anybody offensive minded who can also put a quality defense on the field should qualify if Gailey leaves. Or anyone who can get Joe Hamilton or Shawn Jones as a QB coach.

UGA=delusional you are an idiot. Look in up. The only consensus title Tech has ever one was in 1917. And any way you slice it you split a title in 90. 1/2 idiot child! As for those others. Google it and you will see that in some cases there were 5 or 6 polls each with a different champion. Get out of the Tech propagand sheet and get the facts. There is 1 undisputable fact. The only team in this state to win a unanimous title on the field is UGA. Live with it losersville.

Why IN THE WORLD would the Dolphins want either Mora or Gailey? Gailey’s a solid college coach, but that’s what he is- a college coach. He was not successful at all with the Cowboys. That’s not a criticism because there are many examples of fine college coaches who didn’t make it in the pros. It’s a different animal. As for Mora, maybe the Dolphins have a preference for immature, tantrum- throwing boys with a penchant for stupid decision-making.

They have better jobs already. And you can’t afford Cowher.
Coker…could be an interview there. Tenuta…maybe. Word has it he’s was the leader for the DC at Texas until Joe Kines became a possible.

If they promote Tenuta, then UGA will continue its’ dominance of this series. His “defense” could not hold leads against Notre Dame, Georgia, Wake Forest, or an 18 point lead on a WVU team missing its’ star running back. In fact, his defense is so overrated, that the offense(which was beyond awful) has to come back against Maryland and a horrible Miami team. Also let’s not forget about Clemson, although I’m sure you’d like to! Everyone in this town loves to pat Tenuta on the back about his great defenses, however no one wants to call him out after repeated failures. Overrated at best!

Here’s the list: John Heisman - Um, some kind of trophy is named after him William Alexander - Coached for 24 years, then retired Bobby Dodd - Does this need an explination? Coach of the Year award is named after him Bud Carson - Became defensive coordinator for the Steelers, then head coach for the Browns Bill Fulcher - Went 12-10-1, retired Pepper Rodgers - Head coach in the USFL Bill Curry - Went on to Alabama Bobby Ross - Head coach of Chargers Bill Lewis - The one coach who didn’t do anything George O’Leary - Hired by Notre Dame (not our fault it didn’t work out) Chan Gailey - Might become coach of Dolphins

Coz 109, UGA owned Tenuta? You scored 15 points, 7 or which came while your offense was on the sidelines. Plus, a field goal when you had good field position. If you want to take 5 points every year, please, I’ll give it to you. Wake scored 9 points. Another awful performance, I know. Clemson was bad, I agree, but Notre Dame only scored 14 (same as against LSU). Please know something before you make these comments.

I think it is a shame that Jim Mora was let go. Michael Vick has not performed well for any coach we had. He has said he’ll play his way. That is not a team player.
Blank has put toooo much money in him and he is not a great player. Only good. A great player is someone who does not flip off fans, get “girls” in trouble or be stuck on himself. Look at Brett Favre, John Elway, etc. They were great and are great players.
As far as Chan goes, if he leaves Tech- better luck to him. Look at Saban. He left the Dolphins and came back to College. Look at Spurrier- same thing. Pro Football is hard.

GT had 3 loses at season’s end all by 3 points each. With the proper coaching decisions none of these should have happened. As a result Chan knows he has only 2007 to oversome what trasnpired over the last 3 games. Under that scenario Chan will likely take the Miami job if offered. If he does then expect GT to go after LSU’s OC Bill Fisher which is consistent with DRad’s connections. If not Fisher then look for Tenuta or Bill Johnson HC—Navy to be at the top of the list.
For any UGA posters lurking out there just remember you were very fortunate to win the last 2 games and the recruitment of JUCO players speaks volumes for how far you are willing to bend academic priorities to get players. How do they take up space when more qualified students are left waiting at the gate?
Things always change. Just remember UGA fans a losing streak starts with just one lose and can easily begin on Grant Field in 2007—-or have you forgotten your losses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt and all the other near misses in 2006.

UGA has been on probation 8 times due to cheating. The last time was over the Jim Harrick Jr./ Sr. Scandal. Strategies of Basketball?

Hey BZZZ: Granted that Tech has quite a few fans like you described, but how about look at the UGA fanbase. There was a survey a few years by Sports Illustrated that polled fans from all across the Southeastern United States.
And the vast majority of those fans picked Georgia as having the most obnoxious, ill-mannered fans. Those same fans stated that because of the Georgia fanbase, it was way too easy to hate Georgia.
Reading these Tech blogs each day and the vitrol that comes from Georgia fans only proves that survey correct.

Just remember UGA fans, we CAN beat you on a consistent basis. All we have to do is follow the plan O’Liary laid out for us and model our program after yours. It is a simple three step plan.
First, we lower our academic standards to what yours are. Remember, what we call cheating is perfectly acceptable at the University of “all I need is a 1.125 GPA to stay eligible” Georgia.
Second, we introduce a new curriculum for our football players. Management classes are two hard for serious football players. Here are some sample test questions from the final of our “Dynamics of Football” class (note, we hired Jim Harrick Sr. to teach it).
Bonus question - How many downs to you get to try and advance the football at least 10 yards? (We made this a bonus question to prevent students like Reggie Ball from failing the test).
Third, we recruit the fine students at Hargrave Military Academy to take care of our obvious depth issues.
There you have it folks - this plan is foolproof. Just ask CMR - he swears by it.

Michael, sorry I couldn’t get back to you earlier. In regards to your comments on Georgia and Tenuta’s “defense”. The number of points scored in the instances you brought up are not the issue. The fact is Tech’s “defense” gave up the lead and LOST!!! Despite what you think of UGA or the fans, the facts don’t lie. Tech has a good defense on paper only. When UGA’s defense gave up leads to teams it had down in crucial times there was absolute outrage demanding explanations and that someone be held acountable. We didn’t turn our heads and keep patting Martinez on the back like you do with Tenuta. If the trend continues, and if the gator bowl is an indicator, then it will, Reggie will not be around to be a scapegoat. The real shame is, players like Anoui(forgive the spelling) were caught on film criticizing their teammates after some of those late season losses. That’s unfortunate because most of the time he(Anoui) strikes me as a class player. That is a sign of poor leadership from his coach(Tenuta). You didn’t hear Georgia players turn on one another when things got tough, they just circled the wagons and got better.

Gailey isn’t going to get the job, so all of this is pointless.
I’m a Dawg. And I hold my tongue (in this case fingers on the keys) when speaking with you guys. I realize that it is frustrating losing six years in a row. I thought I would lose my mind when we lost three years in a row.
But here are couple of facts for you to chew on.
Harrick has been gone for four years - bringing up the past, does you no good. Most of you guys can read the paper. You know darn well that Dennis Felton cleaned up that nightmare and that he is all over these kids, insisting that grades come first. And we are embarrassed that this was allowed to happen. I personally think Dooley and Adams should have been terminated.
I also think Gailey has done a pretty good job. Tech is a strong academic school, the stadium is small and you guys only sell out big games. Yet, despite all of that, you have a class that might crack the Top 10 in recruiting this year. (It would be nice if one of you showed enough class to admit that UGA is no academic cake walk.)
No doubt that his loyalty to Reggie Ball hurt the program. And you guys put all of the blame on this kid. But the fact is, you had the lead against Georgia with 7 minutes left. Georgia went on a 13 play drive, chewed up roughly 6 minutes and did it with a Freshman QB on the field. Last time I looked, Reggie didn’t play defense. (Ironically, Georgia wanted him to play defensive back).
Your very-very close to being pretty darn good. If Gailey goes, I think your program takes a big step backwards.
Regardless, we’ll see you at Grant Field. Get your tickets early, we’ll sell that one out for you…
P.S. Would be grateful if you wouldn’t ‘key my car’ this year…

His 7-4, 9-3 (regular season) records equate to around 10-6 in the pros. I think that’s what Miami is looking for. Getting to the playoffs.

Randy I’m a GT fan and a Ga fan. When we play each other I pull for GT. I love both teams but the big reason I pull for Ga. is UGA Coach is the best, He is a man of character, morals, faith,and determination. I would true everything I have with him. He knows how to win friends and Ball games. I’ve been a GT fan 50 years and we have had some good coaches but nobody like the Man AT UGA. Chan is not a Coach you like to watch Coach. He is boring and want take a chance to win when game is on the line. The players almost won Gator Bowl despite him. Randy you have some good points,Thanks. Oh, I don’t key cars.

Gailey, just pack your sheet up & get the hell out of this town! I don’t care if you go to the AFC, NFC or DFC (Dumbest Frickin’ Coaches). How could you possibly be thinking dumbass stuff like this when you’re on the sidelines in game-deciding situations???!!!
REGARDING WAKE LOSS:
CHAN GAILEY: What bogged down, the tough places at the 32 yard line. A 50 yard field goal, and if you are 4 yards closer you try for the field goal. And if you are 4 yards back you punt the football.
SO HE SAYS YOU KICK THE FG IF IT’S 46yds…AND YOU PUNT IF IT’S 54yds.
REGARDING THE WVU GATOR BOWL LOSS:
Comment on the field goal attempt late in the game
“It’s fourth-and-nine and you’re sitting there at the 34-yard line or so, and if it had been fourth-and-four or fourth-and-five, I might have gone for it.”
“34-yard line or so”??? It was the 37-yard line. A MONTH EARLIER, SAME FIELD, SIMILAR WET CONDITIONS, YOU SAY “KICK FG FROM 46 & PUNT FROM 54”…THIS GAME INSTEAD OF PUNT FROM 54 YOU KICK FG FROM 54. WTF IS UP WITH THAT????? IT’S NOT JUST INCONSISTENT. IT’S STOOOPID!
AND WHAT IS THIS STOOOPID COMMENT AFTER SEEING BENNETT PLAY IN GATOR BOWL: Are you having second thoughts on not playing Taylor more this season?
“I think what happens is you evaluate each situation as you go through it each week. I would not have changed anything this year in that respect.”
I SIMPLY CANNOT FATHOM THAT A HEAD COACH WHO SAW BENNETT PLAY IN THAT GAME WOULD NOT HAVE PLAYED HIM MORE DURING THE SEASON WITH THE WAY BALL PLAYED! I THINK HE REALLY MEANS IT! I CAN’T THINK OF ANY OTHER COACH ANYWHERE WHO WOULD SAY SOMETHING THAT STOOOPID. IT IS CLEARLY A CHAN-ISM, OR A PIECE OF CHAN-OLOGY. THIS TEAM SHOULD HAVE WON UGA, WAKE & WVU…AND ND TOO. CLEMSON, WE GOT RUN OVER. BUT THEY STILL SHOULD’VE BEEN 13-1. THE DIFFERENCE WAS COACH DOOFUS.
IF HE LEAVES GT, IT WILL NOT BE TOO SOON FOR ME. I DON’T THINK HE’LL EVER BEAT UGA WHILE HE’S HERE.

Change is good for everyone We will forget all others and eventually the last two seasons will be a distant memory when the likes of Martz or Singletary is at the helm. Things will get a lot better and soon, however; you have to ask yourself why would the Dolphins want Mora after he was run out of Atlanta? Thats like marrying someone else’s exwife insn’t? Used material. I mean all the bad habits are still there in the new marriage, it’s just new and different so its exciting with lots of possibilites.
I can answer this, It wasn’t all Mora’s fault. In fact it wasn’t half his fault. It was more his friend of the player style and gameplan that was his downfall. It didn’t jive with the exciting “street ball” that Arthur is paying Vick to play. Fans love it when it works and hate everything especially the entire coaching staff when it began to fail. It was so obvious that there was a difference between owner and execution of game plan. It never had a chance and to be honest I doubt there is a coach that can sharpen Vick up and get him to be more accurate, read defenses, call audibles, or complete more passes. He is telling the world “”look at my numbers, I deserved to go the probowl”——No you were 7-9——you got what you deserved.
So, I hope the exwife works well, but I don’t give it a lot of hope yet—-I’m still mad about the way things came apart and how little we had to say about it despite being the ones who pay this clown QB.

I strongly suspect that before Tech handed Gailey his contract extension that they had found that nobody else any better was interested in the job. Who wants to coach where the fans can’t fill a small stadium and whine likr sissies instead of make positive contributions to a program so it can grow. Georgis Tec has the worst fans in America amd the word is out.

James, to build a top program you have to have continuity. The teams that become top tier maintain stability in the coaching position. The number of coaches we have had does indicate a program in distress. What does it say when the coaches that don’t get fired, always leave for somebody else?

I have one thing to say to you bandwagon fans. Stop whing, bit%$ing, moaning, and complaining. Get off your sorry butts and do something other than the above. Or be content being collectively the biggest bunch of losers in college football. Your team is a reflection of you. You consistently let them down by your lack of support. And by God, they return the favor every year don’t they? The joke is always on you sorry fans. Especially this year.

Would it help Miami’s cause if Tech fans would pay his salary in Miami.
If he stays at Tech, one way to cut expenses is to do away with shoulder pads and give them wrist braces because that is the only part of the body Gailely teaches his players to use.

When you leave all those seats empty, thinking that you are punishing someone and that will get you what you want you are being very very stupid and childish. Guess what?

Would some of you fan’s please help me? When I asked my dad this question he just gets mad and throws stuff and it is upsetting my mom. I am doing a research paper titled, The Glory Years of Georgia Tech Football. I found that from 1905 to 1927 we did pretty good but I am looking for something a little more recent. Some guy named Dodd back in the 50’s and 60’s had a .713 winning percentage and the 70s just plain sucked. Now all I can find is this since 1980.
Bill Curry - 79-98-4 Bobby Ross - 31-26-1 Bill Lewis - 11-19-3 George O’Leary - 52-33 Chan Gailey - 37-26
I can’t find the glory years! PLEASE someone help me. This paper is already 8 sentences long and I really don’t want to start over. Have we EVER had any glory years?

Chan is a good coach with a long-term philosophy that is just starting to pay dividends. I think the next several years are going to be some of the best in school history if we can keep him despite all you naysayers.
In conference, I’d say he is one of the upper eschelon coaches, certainly better than Groh, Bunting, Amato, Coker, Roof, T. Bowden. He’s never had seasons as bad as those guys have had at supposedly easier places to be successful.

I thought this blog was ONLY about Chan Gailey possibly going to Miami? Why don’t you UGA thugs find a wrestling channel to watch there in your Trailer instead?
I would for Chan to stay, only because Reggie is gone and he can no longer play him. Plus the fact that he allows Patrick Nix to call the plays. Therefore Tech Scored far more points this year than in his previous four year tenure.
Everyone that is mad at him for playing Reggie Ball? Well I was too. But we don’t have that problem anymore.
But next year I hope to see him use more TB’s like most teams. UGag uses three in a game, if they are all healthy. Tashard is great, but those new guys coming in are too good to redshirt. I hope he will have enough sense to play them. A three back rotation, with Tashard getting 2/3 0f the carries.
It was good to see the re-discovery of Tightends as soon as Taylor Bennett took over the reins.

Hey UGA fan errr.. 8th grader (SAME THING ACTUALLY):
It was 1980. Oh wait — that was YOUR only National Championship. Tech has four. In 1990, as head coach at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, he led the Yellow Jackets to an undefeated season and a share of the national title. Ross won eight games in 1991, ending his five-year tenure in Atlanta with a win over Stanford in the Aloha Bowl and an overall record of 31-26-1.
Here the hell we go again Some low self esteem techmite crowing about 1/2 of a national title and going back to the stone age to grasp at the only thing he can hang his hat on. Tech has ONE consensus title in 1927. UGA and Tech both claim multiple titles from multiple polls that nobody can even name now. By your pitiful standard Jon, the moron man, UGA has one in 1968. LMAO!! And by the way Jon boy…or is it girlie boy. I hope like hell you enjoyed watching your pitiful team fall flat on their faces at the end of this season. Those true freshman QBs sure were something driving the field on you with time running out, weren’t they Jon? And Jon girlie boy. Who is the only team in the state of Georgia to win a national on the field in the modern era. What team in the state of Georgia owns you on the field? How smart are you Jon girlie boy? I wager you rank right there with Reggie Ball.

Jon, it is true that both UGA and Tech can claim multiple NCs if you go back and look at those ancient polls. And we did only win a share of a title in 1990. What is it about you geezers that makes you want to make fools of yourself about all that when the problems exist now. Now is what matters. And right now we have huge issues not only academically, but on the field as well. Couldn’t your energy be better expended doing something to change that instead of acting like fools on a blog?

you know as a tech fan i just had to respond to this situation. no, i didn’t take too much time reading what all the little puppies had to say about it. i know they all want Chan to stay because he has never beaten that team from Athens.
but as a GT season ticket holder i hope like hell he leaves. i have been there in person to watch Chan and Reggie almost destroy this program. if Gailey will make decisions in the future like he did with Reggie Ball then we all need to hope he leaves. He didn’t have the balls to sit Reggie in the ACC championship game. i think taylor would have sparked our team to victory even before i saw him show out in the Gator Bowl. i was impressed with his throwing even against Duke. Reggie is the worst quarterback we have ever had at GT. And Gailey sticking by him without so much as one benching tells me he is not the coach we need to get our team to where we would all like to be.

Prediction: Both Chan and Calvin will use their faith and spend Sunday in prayer and make the right move. Chan made some serious mistakes this year, but will recover next year. Calvin will set an example by making one of the largest unselfish decisions ever by an athelete (would be hard for me to do) and give up millions to show what he is all about and earn the respect of even you Dawg fans. GT’s ‘07 football scheduled opponents will have fear when the news hits Sunday night. GT will have one of the most exciting years in Tech’s history and Chan’s coaching stock will go up. And still at the end of the day, neither Chan nor Calvin will give glory to themsevleves. They know where their strength comes from.

All of you UGAY MORONS have nothing to brag about. Your beloved coach/team got shell-shocked at home against TENN…Embarrassed by VANDERBILT and KENTUCKY, SEC Cellar-Dwellers. SURPRISE: We are tired of losing to your INFERIOR TEAMS Mark Richt puts on the field.
Anyone with EYES can see R. Ball consistently HANDED YOU VICTORIES WHERE YOU SHOULD’VE HAD LOSSES. We don’t want our Football Program to slide into MEDIOCRITY, like the UGAY program. And once you start contributing your Hard-Earned Dollars To GT Athletics, then you’ve earned the right to get on here and VENT until the changes are made that need to be made. GAILEY has proven he is MEDIOCRE at GT…Nothing Else! 7 wins, 7 wins, 7 wins, 7 wins, OOPS! 9 Wins - An Abberation, PROVEN by the Dismal Finish to the year.
I’m sure NONE of you were cursing Mark Richt for his coaching failures this past year? IF he had lost the FINAL 3 GAMES OF THE YEAR, like he almost did, then you’d be riding him out of that pathetic little fart-smelling town you live in.
This is a GT BLOG with questions for GT Football Fans…You show just how UNEDUMACATED and STOOPID you are by continuing to post your nonsense here instead of somewhere else where they give a damm, like a UGAY Blog!
We still have a National Championship more recently than you in Football (oh, but that doesn’t count to YOU). We still own your d******* in Basketball (oh, that doesn’t count to you d******* either). If UGAYers weren’t in such constant denial, you’d realize you have a QB who threw 7 TDs and 13 INTs this past year THAT’S MUCH WORSE THAN REGGIE BALL.
You’re losing most of your “vaunted” Defense. And Richt is learning how to be a CEO, so when they fire his MEDIOCRE ARSE AT UGAY, he’ll be prepared for Corporate America…Where they demand ACCOUNTABILITY FOR STUPID DECISIONS AND UNDERPERFORMANCE!
Keep posting on GT Blogs, UGAYers…It only shows how STUPID you are and diplays that hard-to-match UGAY LACK OF CLASS that so permeates your campus and backwater town.

Georgia. Players said they grew closer to him than ever before this season en route to a 9-5 record and the ACC Coastal Division title. They said his decision to hand over play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Patrick Nix left Gailey more time to interact with them. speaks to the high regard with which he is held in the football world, both professionally and on the collegiate level,” Radakovich said in a statement.

Yes, GTVision, I had Dreams of Glory for the GT Football Program after DUKE and we were 9-2…Then Coach Gailey took those Dreams, snatched them out of my head, wrapped them tightly and forged them into a stainless-steel cable, thrust that cable through my midsection at UGA, twisted it around inside my guts at the 1st Gator Bowl, tied the other end in a knot, and yanked it back through at Gator Bowl #2. I know why Tech Fans aren’t buying as many tickets anymore. It should be quite obvious when a Coach takes a Dream Season and turns it into another Season-Ending Nightmare. At least it wasn’t The UTES this year! Hell, I don’t even want to watch GT Football anymore because I can’t go through sitting here watching this coach give away games to lesser teams/coaches, and then he hides under his desk. He won’t even return my calls…Says something about Moon Over Miami. I thought he said “My Hammy”, and I was ready to barbecue his arsey over a pit!

He’s the right man for this job and we should be grateful to have someone of integrity heading the program. So what if we’re perpetually second best in the state and can’t beat Georgia? if we’re honest with ourselves, we would realize that we’re just not a top tier program anymore but that we still believe in the concept of sportsmanship and the student athlete.

Gailey should take the Miami job if offered and it wouldn’t surprise me at all. His record as a pro football head coach was 18-14.
The coach he would replace had a record of 15-17.
Gailey’s winning percentage in the NFL is about equal to that of Pete Carroll. Tech will suffer if he leaves.
All the Tech fans whine about Gailey, but he has lots more knowlege and ability than the critics. The problem is much bigger than the coach. I believe Clough doesn’t care about the football team’s record. A talent like Daryll Richard can graduate from Tech in 3 years and not be assured of a spot in the MBA program? What’s that about? Unlike the engineering curriculum Tech’s MBA program is nothing special.

Tech fans. All you had to do this year is stop 2 true freshmen QBs from driving the field on you in the UGA game and the ACC title game. All you had to do is hold and 18 point lead against WVU in the Gator Bowl and you would be able to back up all the talk…or some of it. You had 3 chances to brag and guess what. You went 0 for 3. When you can walk the walk you can talk the talk. Until you do, you just sound like bitter, sore losing ignoramuses. Cut your loses and pray for a better 2007.

The moral of the story. Cut your losses. 2006 is over. It was what it was. Your mediocre football history is what it is. Talk about next year and how badazz you are going to be. How you’re going to be champions and beat UGA like a yard dog. At least that way they can’t come back on you and black both your eyes with the facts.

A Head Coach’s performance should be evaluated on several factors, just like all of us are evaluated annually at our jobs. Since I contribute to GT Athletics, I’m a Stakeholder, and this is my evaluation of Coach Gailey. I know there will be disagreements…But you can’t argue the facts.
Recruiting - “A-” Give credit where credit is due. True, GT will always be a desirable, even #1, destination for many HS players who want a Superior Education to go with their Playing Time. Gailey and staff spend time with kids and their families, actively selling them on GT and “The Program”. I would suspect CJ did as much (or more) in the past 2 years for GT Recruiting. There was also some undeniable damage done when RB continued to play when everyone, including prospects, could see some changes needed to be made. Good class coming in, if they all show up after seeing the final 3 games…all lost by 3 points.
Game Management: “F” Can this be a real surprise? It’s impossible to separate personnel mgmt from game mgmt. Allowing Ball to continue running the offense when he was ineffective (or even worse) is just bad coaching. Even HS coaches pull players who are hurting the team. Gailey’s management of the UGA and WF games should be a case study on “How To Lose In College Football…Without Really Trying.” There is just no way around it, Gailey’s game mgmt failures & inactions directly led to losses to UGA, WF & WVU games (Ball 6-for-22 for 42yds & 2 INTs, 1 FUMBLE; the “punt to lose” and 54-yd FG attempt with 5 min left; enough said.) Even an average coach would’ve managed those games for a win, and arguably would’ve won the ND game too (a 10-0 lead squandered to lose by 4). A “D” here would be too kind.
Personnel Management: “F” This has to include on-the-field as well as off-the-field. Gailey was either totally ignorant of Bennett’s talent while Ball failed miserably, or he knew about it and could never pull the trigger on even ONE simple substitution. This isn’t Rocket Science. Players who perform in-game and help their team should play…Players who don’t should sit. Anything else sends the wrong signals to the team. Gailey could only cover up this failing until he was forced to play Bennett. Once Bennett proved his worth in a Bowl Game for his 2nd start no less, even Gailey Supporters had no answer for not playing Bennett earlier in the year, when games could have arguably been won instead of lost. To cap this failure off, Gailey’s only comments to GT Fans & Supporters concerning this were: “Reggie Ball will start in the Gator Bowl on Jan 1st” and “I would not change anything in that respect”, answering whether he now thought he should’ve played Bennett more throughout the year after seeing his performance against WVU (who clearly were surprised and impressed). This is abysmal performance for a Head Football Coach, anywhere, on any scale.
No section on Personnel Mgmt is complete (at the college level) without consideration of academics. GT was recently rocked with an academic scandal of huge proportions and suffered NCAA sanctions. Have we learned nothing from it? Gailey’s self-professed “Let the Seniors be thier own Guides” is undoubtedly an off-the-field failure, leading to 3 embarrassing academic disqualifications, possibly more NCAA involvement. Some Seniors still are not “men” yet. To allow them to fail miserably both on and off the field due solely to a Head Coach’s Policies and Inactions is inexcusable. Nobody was hurt more by this than the kids themselves, as in the entire team (some even physically ill). When you claim to be a molder of young men, then you put any single player in front of the whole team (to the detriment of the team and its individual kids)…What kind of young men are you trying to mold? Disgruntled? Frustrated? Flunk-out Failures and Losers? The players may stick by the coach despite these things…But that speaks volumes more about the character of the kids than the Head Coach earning that respect. The Coach failed miserably here both on and off the field…No way to spin any of it into a positive. No way.
Media/Fan Relationships: “D” - While no coach has to explain himself to those in the stands who buy the tickets that make the world go ‘round, Gailey has reduced this to an all-time low. When fans have been desperately pleading that an ineffective starter be taken out of game situations for 2 years…And the Coach does nothing. When everyone sees how the substitute plays under pressure that would buckle most adults…And the media begins to ask, “Just tell us why you waited until now”…But the Coach cannot come forth and offer ANY EXPLANATION for what Fans begin to call “extreme stubbornness”, there is a disconnect here. A disconnect that Alienates those who would otherwise fill the stands. And despite obsessing over this one single question, NOBODY is able to come up with any reasonable or credible answer (TECH Fans are known for analyzing problems to arrive at “the correct answer”.) The result is a logically-minded Fan Base who will forever ponder “WHY?” and “What Might Have Been”. The Coach himself clearly has no answer, or he is too embarrassed/afraid to disclose it. It is a needless manipulation of the minds of those who are responsible for building the very Program that pays the Coach’s salary. It is worse than neutral…It constructs an environment of disbelief, resentment, even fear that is devoid of any trust. Ignoring a *problem of this magnitude (as Terence Moore suggests) is akin to running away from a situation that needs resolution for everyone’s health and benefit. No healing can occur without it. Realistically, this type of long-term damage caused by one individual who has placed himself above all accountability to those he works for deserves an “F”…But even I feel uncomfortable giving F after F to someone making $1 Million+ per Year.
Intangibles: “F” - In college athletics, rivalry games are what makes things just plain FUN. When a Head Coach doesn’t seem to understand? the extreme importance of being competitive in the series (translation: WINNING a game every now and then), Fans on both sides suffer. When the opposition (and their Head Coach) are BIGGER FANS of your Head Coach than you, this has become more than an average deficiency. You would think after losing 4 years in a row to the school’s in-state rival, the Head Coach would put that game near the absolute top of the “TO DO LIST” for the following year…Yet this coach seemed determined? to grab defeat from the jaws of victory when his ranked team met the unranked rival this year, which had struggled to this point with their own problems. True, rivalries usually produce unforseen results…But the one result which seems to be easily “forseen” with Coach Gailey is an annual loss in this game that is undeniably more important than any other. Could this coach have managed the game and personnel differently to win this most recent game, if it were apparent that he REALLY WANTED to win it? Yes. Is that 20/20 hindsight? No…Not to the Fan Base who had already seen this game lost in years past due to the same exact malfunctions that were happening before their very eyes - again. This leads one to the conclusion that either 1) this Coach reviews game films and can only see mistakes his players and other coaches have made (and are chastised for them), and is completely blind to what he did or failed to do with his own decision-making; or 2) this Coach sees the mistakes he has made and his character does not compel him to improve by learning from those mistakes. Either 1) or 2) will continue to subject Players and the Fan Base to surrealistic losses that are more like replays of past games than current ones…
There are other things that could be evaluated with this Head Coach…But why? Is it really required when these headlines & excerpts (from ramblinwreck.com) say anything else that needs to be said:
GT’s Upset Bid Falls Short Versus Notre Dame, 14-10 Yellow Jackets can’t hang on to 10-0 lead in season opener.
No. 13 Georgia Tech Falls At Death Valley James Johnson catches Yellow Jackets’ lone touchdown.
No. 18 Georgia Tech Tops Duke 49-21 Yellow Jackets finish 7-1 in ACC play.
Georgia Tech Falls 15-12 to Georgia Yellow Jackets turn attention to next week’s ACC title game. …leading the Bulldogs past No. 16 Georgia Tech 15-12 on Saturday - their sixth straight win against the Yellow Jackets. This one was especially galling for Georgia Tech (9-3), which already had clinched a spot in next Saturday’s ACC championship game. But quarterback Reggie Ball had a miserable game, completing just 6-of-22 passes for 42 yards with two interceptions. Most damaging, Ball also had a fumble that Georgia (8-4) ran back for its first touchdown…
Georgia Tech Drops 9-6 Decision to Wake Forest in ACC Championship Yellow Jackets hold Demon Deacons without a touchdown.
Georgia Tech (9-4) had a chance to tie the game or take the lead, but was forced to punt. Wake Forest picked up a first down and ran out the clock. “Obviously, it’s my responsibility to get this football team ready to play and we didn’t do well enough today to win the game,” head coach Chan Gailey said. Tech quarterback Reggie Ball was 9-of-29 passing for 129 yards, with two interceptions. He also ran 15 times for 46 yards.
Tech Succumbs 38-35 to No. 13 West Virginia in Gator Bowl Shootout Yellow Jackets could not hold on to an 18-point first-half advantage.
Georgia Tech (9-5) tried a 54-yard field goal on fourth-and-9 with 5 minutes left that could have tied the score, but Travis Bell’s kick fell well short. West Virginia then ran out the clock. “That’s been our story, this season with all three losses at the end,” Yellow Jackets linebacker KaMichael Hall said. “You’ve got to learn how to finish.” It was an astonishing turnaround from the first half, in which Georgia Tech’s sophomore quarterback Taylor Bennett and All-America wideout Calvin Johnson picked apart West Virginia’s secondary. The Mountaineers also couldn’t stop Tashard Choice, who ran 27 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson finished with 186 yards receiving and two TDs. “There were a lot of little things that happened, and that’s the difference between getting the ball down the field and scoring touchdowns in the first half and not doing it in the second half,” Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey said. “We had our chances in the fourth quarter.” Bennett, starting for the second time in his career, was 19-of-29 for 326 yards. He was playing in place of Reggie Ball, a four-year starter ruled academically ineligible a week-and-a-half ago.
Sorry, MR TERENCE MOORE…But I do expect some kind of accountability when a special season completely falls apart and none of the Fan Base needs 20/20 hindsight to know why. They saw it happening — AND KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING — right before their very eyes. You are a complete woosie sir, for being in your position and not joining your collegue THE GREAT FURMAN BISHER as he stood up and spoke out before the Tech Fan Base completely descends into a pit of pure confusion, resentment and hate.
I fire people for better evaluations than I can give this Head Coach. If my business depended on Accepting Mediocrity, then I would have no business any longer. This Coach only excels in one area - FAILURE. For that reason alone, I can no longer support him as the Head Coach of GT Football and I wish him well at his next job.
Coach Gailey, You’re FIRED!

I have no clue where some of the GT and UGA fans come up with these National Championship fantasies. I believe Tech has two, not 4 and even the University of Georgia only claims 2 (42 and 80). I went to UGA in 68 and we were SEC Champs but tied two games and lost the Sugar Bowl to Arkansas 16-2. Back then the AP selected its National Championship team BEFORE the bowls, but we were still not #1. Never heard anything about some National Title that year. Some other guy claims Vince was 5-0 against Bobby Dodd, but that is not true. He was 3-0 with Dodd retiring after the 66 season.
I realize on a blog folks feel free to make any statement because there is no responsibility for what they say. But the least someone can do is CHECK the damn facts before they put out crap as fact.

But how silly would it sound if fans of those schools came in here talking about that and claiming their programs dominance. That is exactly how Tech fans sound when they try to cloud the real issue for them with that kind of smoke and mirror tactic. It is the here and now that is killing these techmites, Dawg fan’s! All a Dawg fan need do is point out to them, 6 years…60 wins…3 SEC title games…2 SEC titles…and 6 consecutive wins over GT. That is the point we need to stick to. It is the arrow through the heart. That is what infuriates them to the point that their panties get in such a wad they have to have a winch to pull them from where the sun don’t shine. Those are the points that we need to make over and over and over to these mites. They can’t argue with it, they can’t refute it, they can’t deal with it.

Never has so much been made of so little. Chan Gailey’s college record would get him fired at USC, O State, Florida, Texas, even UGA. Who cares if Gailey goes to the fish. The more important question is, do the leaders of GT think so little of the football program to not get rid of so much mediocrity. It’s sub-par to VTech, and Cal, both difficult schools for players to pass. If you have garbage at the top, you’re bound to have garbage at the bottom.

Signing a multi year contract with a coach and then not careing if another team tries to steal him dosen’t seem like good business.

I guess I would ask all those who want Gailey to stay is after watching your bowl game and the success the backup QB had is your coach a good evaluator of QBs. He kept Reggie Ball in place for four years and didn’t replace him why not? I think Gailey is an overrated coach who thinks he can fix QBs like Reggie Ball and Koedell Stewart.

The Reggie Ball saga seems to be THE issue that negates all of the good that Gailey did. What he did accomplish will never be in the fore because of the Reggie deal. It is truly baffling. But when you put it in the context of Kordell Stewart it becomes a little more clear. I think Mark Richt wanted Joe Tereshinski to be able to do the job. But bottom line, by the time you get to the point that Reggie was and Joe T was, they don’t get better. What you see is what you get. The coach owes the team, the fans and his employer the best chance to win. Chan didn’t and based on his history never will. Reggie also had character, behavior, and attitude, issues that should have factored in as well. Also, what other coach would have STARTED a guy involved in a nationwide drug conspiracy. Chan is mystifying. And he won’t change.

for the love of God, Chan, PLEASE go! To Miami, back home to Americus, anyplace but Tech. Please, please, please, please, please go. And take Reggie with you. You will NEVER beat Georgia, ever. Of course, we all know you don’t even care. It’s just another game to you, right?

GT - 4 titles: http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-1995
Unless I’m mistaken, gt is part of the university system of Georgia as well. I guess the four titles they credit you with is bs also?

Yes sic em, and as we know Yale has more than any damn body. What is the point? Depending on where you get the info, what you choose to acknowledge, and who you support, makes this an endless, unreconcilable issue, and is about as relavent as flushed toilet paper. Why not just let them comfort themselves with these things while we enjoy the here and now of owning them and consistently kickin their butts. We know that won’t change. It is also a quantifiable condition beyond argument.

Believe me, I certainly enjoy the here and now. However, pointing out the incongruities of their self-congratulatory statements is just too much fun. Although, if Yale fans came on here, I would undoubtedly acknowledge their accomplishments (especially since so much of UGA is modeled after their school).

You almost feel sorry for them. With no recent accomplishments to speak of and with no real light at the end of the tunnel, I guess they’re willing to hold onto whatever they can.
But then, some techie acts like a nonsensical mental patient and those feelings go right out the window.

I am not going anywhere and I will lose as many games as I want to. Who other than Georgia Tech is dumb enough to hire me? And I make $1,000,000 a year to lose those games, you bozo’s.

Well Sic head, I am just glad we had our momments of satisfaction this year when the Dawgs fell to Vandy, Kentucky, Florida and TN. Hats of to you for beating Virgina (threw three interceps) Tech. It show what happens when a QB has a bad game. We are so glad that Reggie Ball is gone. If only Chan and the leadership that is takes to make the right decisions, Reggie would have been a punt returner and not a QB.
Oh, and the blog as it specifies is about reasons the keep Chan Gailey or send him ti Miami. Why don’t you start your own blog; Reasons why we offer Athletes coarses (at UGA) that a 3rd grader could pass. Look on the UGA webs site under academics and you will find that you offer a degree in Live Stock Management. You also offer a degree in Poultry Science and Food Science. I am sure Caleb King, with his current academic problems, would do fine in one of those prestigous programs.

You kicked GT’s butts by scoring one offensive touchdown? Excuse me? The other TD was a ball pulled out from under a Tech player, which he was laying on, in a pile and the ball was on the ground. The sports commentator said live, “You can’t pull a ball out from under a pile that is on the ground and run it for a touchdown, surely they will over turn this”. End of quote. You won because of your MVP of four years, REGGIE BALL. UGA recruited him and offered him a free ride, but it was to play DB.

We have a Nasa school of space and aeronautics at Tech. Also Aeronautical Engineering. No matter what you major in at Tech, or who you are, you must pass two Calculus classes and two biology classes. At UGA, if an athlete has four stars beside his name (scout.com), he only needs to be able to write his name with a crayon to be qualified for enrollment.

We will moron. As soon as you figure out how to keep players eligible while progressing toward a degree at the same time. As for the Livestock Management thing, you might want to re-evaluate that criticism before one day you are afflicted with Mad Cow Disease. Too bad we don’t have a degree program to deal with “Mad Techmite” disease. Enjoy your here and now nerd. Finish the drill before you talk that talk. Because until you do, you are all talk and no walk. You are Tec! LMAO!!

If Miami dosent hire Gailey, GT is going to have him for a long time Rad and the Tech admin. are not going to dump him. They all have the Brane mentality. But——-if a miracle should occur, I think they should give serious consideration to Johnson at Navy. He has done wonders with that program.
Too bad these blogs arent read by the powers that be. Blogging here is like p** in the wind.

That explains those tiles falling off the Space Shuttle, killing those astronauts. So what is your point? You guys act like that is the holy grail. It’s a specialty just like lots of other specialties. It makes you no smarter than any other career field. I kind of value the skills my Doctors and my pet’s veterinarian brings to the table. In fact, some of the functionally stupidest people I have ever known were those so called mathematical geniouses. So what is your point Einstein? It’s all relative is it not? And by the way rocket man? 6 years…60 wins…3 SEC title games…2 SEC titles…SIX CONSECUTIVE wins over Tech. Can you calculate that space cadet?

I too would like to know what your point is? Degrees are relative to what one wants to do with his life. It has been proven time after time that aptitude in one or more particular activities has no bearing on overall intelligence. We don’t use academics as an excuse for loses on the field at West Point. And I also would question how many athletes at Tech are even enrolled in an Engineering program. I do remember that at one point during O’Leary’s stint that only 3 players were in the engineering program. I would also ask in light of the mass numbers of ineligible players over quite a few years that based on their years progression toward a degree, at the time they were declared ineligible, that most of them had not taken the math or science courses that you speak of. But once again. What is your point?

Thanks sic em. As a USMA grad it has always rubbed me the wrong way when I hear academic standards scapegoated for lack of athletic success. I have never heard one fan from Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford, the service academies, Cal Berkely, et al complain. Sorry Tech grads, but a segment of your populace seems to specialize in it. And it is so unflattering.

West Point grad, I too appreciate your service. However, please get your facts together before you make comments about Tech football players and their fans. Most of the football schools you listed don’t complain about their situation because they know that can’t compete year after year. When they don’t compete, they don’t make excuses because it is expected that they will lose.
And yes, most of our football team is composed of management majors, but that is not your typical “jock major”.
Now, let’s review the records of the colleges you listed: Duke 0-12 Army 2-10 Stanford 1-11 Air Force 4-8 Vanderbilt 4-8
The two exceptions: Navy 9-5 - Unbelievable job the last two years, but traditionally these guys are in the cellar of Division I football. Cal 10-3 - Year in and year out Cal competes. I would love to see the breakdown of their majors. I would guess they would be similar to Tech’s jock major - management.
You’re obviously a smart guy because of where you went to school. But if you want to slam Tech and its fans, just say you don’t like us and blast away with your opinions. I have no problem with that. However, don’t try and demean our football player’s academic situation with your so-called facts.

January 7, 2007 05:36 PM | Link to this
Oh - I did go and check out the majors for the football players for Cal.
Interdisciplinary studies Legal studies American studies African American studies Political science Art studies
Several undeclared majors
I am not making fun of these majors, but I can almost guarantee our management degree is just as rigorous as any of the above programs.

Uh techie, you are in that group. Either that or the one that is expected to screw it up with everything on the line. And did you just actually acknowledge making excuses? And by the way, UC at Berkely would kick your yella azzes. Does Cal ring a bell. Academics have nothing to do with not being able to get it done at crunch time. That is your problem. You do compete. You just don’t know how to win when it matters.

Great Bill - you don’t like us. You believe us to be chokers. Please blast away with your opinions - that is what these blogs are for. I don’t mind opinions, I do mind when someone spouts out so-called facts trying to diminish our football team when the facts are incorrect.
You however did make one good point. Academics have nothing to do with not getting it done in crunch time. We had a chance to win each of those three games, but we didn’t. When you look at the talent we have compared with the three team we lost to, we probably should have been expected to beat WF. I have no defense against your “choke argument”. That is a fair assessment. I do believe that I have made a decent argument that there is an inverse correlation between a school’s academic standards and the success of their football teams.
I don’t know how we would fair against Cal, but we certainly would be competitive with them. Either we would be completive with them, or you would acknowledge your beloved dogs would get blown out by them as well.
And yes I knew that UC Berkeley was Cal. Anyone reading my last two posts could clearly see that since I posted both their 2006 football record and the majors of several of the football players. If you are insulting someone, it is a good idea to take the time to read what they have written.

Once Gailey has cleaned out his desk, here’s my shortlist (ANYONE is better than a coach who won’t pull a starting QB who passes for 42 YARDS in 4 quarters and fumbles away the win against UGA, after he has lost to them for 4 years in a row. And I’d like to quash any rumors that Gailey or Ball or both of them are somehow “on the take”. Really, I’d like to.)
1) Ken Whisenhunt - A TECH Man…Is that what it’s going to take to finally beat UGA again?
2) Mike Martz - NFL Experience and guaranteed to light up the sky at Grant Field. Provides a nice Offense to go with Tenuta’s Defense.
3) Jumbo Fisher - You dudes know I have ties to LSU, right? He doesn’t want another OC gig…He wants HC.
4) Bobby Petr——Wait…Well, he’s off the list now.
5) Bobby Ross - Proven GT Winner!
6) Friedgen - Won’t leave his MD gig though.
7) Dennis Green - Has nowhere to go but up after falling into the AZ pit of doom.
8) Chris Petersen (Boise State) - Already quite familiar with Taylor Bennett…Can you guys cough up enough dough to get him (and keep him now)?

Apparently Coach Chan Gailey is THE ONLY ONE who thinks he was interviewed for the Dolphins job. From MiamiDolphins.com today (1/10):
Dolphins Coaching Search Is In Good Hands January 10, 2007
“It is impossible, at this point, to predict who will emerge as the next head coach. So far, we know this.
We know that those who have been interviewed include Dolphins defensive coordinator Dom Capers, former Falcons coach Jim Mora Jr., Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner, Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin.
We know that Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey has said he was interviewed, though it hasn’t been confirmed by the Dolphins…”
This is TOO FUNNY!! Take one Head Coach who initially said he was “happy where he is”…Then add one part of the Head Coach later saying, “I’m still one of the guys in the running [for the Miami job]”…Sprinkle that with a Dolphins organization that will NOT CONFIRM that the Head Coach was indeed “interviewed” for the position and what do you get?
A coach who sat down for an “interview” and was asked this question first: “So, Coach Gailey…Can you tell us about the 3 most recent games you coached?”
He quietly got up, walked out the door and headed to the airport without saying a WORD…Kind of the same response when asked by Furman Bisher, “How much better might the past two seasons have been if Bennett had been called on, especially when Ball slipped into one of his occasional depressions?”
Gailey is a very sad man, with nothing left to say…

Everybody keeps puttin down Gailey about all of the tech losses, but its not really his fault. Now that Ball is gone and Bennett is starting, tech is gonna fly, even without CJ. He may call the plays but he doesnt have any control of where ball threw it. Yes, he should have sat Ball earlier on and played Bennett, but he is a good coach and is in the process of builing the program.
