Chan Gailey fired as GA Tech Head Coach

wise move. sticking with reggie ball led to his downfall. An ACC championship last year could have bought him a few extra years.

The good news? Tenuta is a FA. :nana: :nana:

Jimbo and Will will be reunited there..

Ah, here's the link just posted on my feed. LINK


Sources: Georgia Tech fires coach Chan Gailey

11/26/2007 8:12 AM - Georgia Tech fired football coach Chan Gailey after six seasons, two days after the Yellow Jackets lost to rival Georgia for the sixth season in a row, sources close to the situation said Monday.

ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech fired football coach Chan Gailey after six seasons, two days after the Yellow Jackets lost to rival Georgia for the sixth season in a row, sources close to the situation said Monday.

Gailey, 55, was informed of the decision by Georgia Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich in a meeting on Monday morning, the sources said. It wasn't immediately known whether Gailey would coach the Yellow Jackets in a bowl game.

The school has scheduled a 2 p.m news conference to announce the firing.

Gailey, a former Dallas Cowboys head coach, had a 44-32 record at Georgia Tech, leading the Yellow Jackets to a bowl game in each of his first five seasons. The Yellow Jackets are 7-5 this season and are eligible to play in a bowl game for the 11th straight season.

Gailey led Georgia Tech to a 9-5 record in 2006, a season in which the Yellow Jackets won the Coastal Division and lost to Wake Forest in the ACC Championship Game.

If Tenuta doesnt get the head coaching job at GT, damn somebody better move quick to get this guy

Well there's been talk about Tenuta getting a HC job somewhere else. Apparently he doesn't want to be a HC, he just likes being DC. I think he doesn't want to deal with that bullshite. And he recruits pretty well. He's gotten some 4 and 5 star D prospects, that GT had no business of getting.

He has a great blitz package and uses it often (at one point in the season he was blitzing about 70% of 1-3rd down plays) and he does it from everywhere.

It's the only shining aspect of it. That being said GT's secondary blows, but i think that's more of a lack of talent, than bad coaching, but I'm not sure


But still, I hope LSU goes after him.
