He got them to the Orange Bowl. Can they do better? It's like Ferentz at Iowa -- not exactly programs that have all the components needed for success.

It's nothing like Iowa. Ga Tech is surrounded by all kinds of talent in a city you can easily convince 18 year olds to live in, especially black ones.

He got them to the Orange Bowl with Gailey's recruits and an offense that is a novelty in modern day college football. His teams have steadily gone downhill once Gailey's recruits were gone and the ACC started to adjust to his offense. Also, Kirk Ferentz at Iowa is not equal to Paul Johnson at GA Tech. Iowa's in the middle of nowhere. Georgia Tech is located in Georgia. They might not be the most popular team in Georgia but there's plenty of talent to go around in that state. There's no reason why they can't cobble together decent recruiting classes every year. Gailey was able to recruit players like Calvin Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, and Michael Johnson to Georgia Tech. It's not a place where you can't get decent players.

With Chan Gailey's recruits. Their ACC title was vacated too.
