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?

Should Falcons pursue Cowher?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher announced Friday he’s retiring after 15 seasons to spend more time with his family, and that he’s not immediately interested in any other NFL coaching vacancies.
His decision may affect the Falcons’ search for a replacement for the fired Jim Mora, since the team on Thursday interviewed Steelers’ offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. He figured to be prominent on Pittsburgh GM Dan Rooney’s list to succeed Cowher.
But what would you think of the Falcons pursuing Cowher? He’s a Super Bowl winner, he has molded a close-knit group of athletes and served as a gruff, tough but successful mentor who has generated the loyalty of players, team officials and fans alike.
Is that the coaching profile the Falcons need? What do you think of Arthur Blank’s and Rich McKay’s selection of coordinators — with no previous NFL head coaching experience — to interview at the start of the hiring process? Can they get a more experienced man?
Cowher moved his family to Raleigh, N.C. last year. Would that be close enough to Atlanta for Blank to turn on the charm and try to hire a championship coach for the Falcons?
