Not anymore:

Q: Speaking of Georgia, wouldn’t you like one more chance to beat the Bulldogs?
Gailey: You always want the opportunity to win a game, but that also comes with the opportunity to lose. I’ve had my opportunities. Let’s give the younger guys a chance.
I actually pull for Georgia now. I have a great deal of respect for Mark Richt.

Btw, how Chan is that? He doesn't want another opportunity for a win, because he might lose! :lol:

This is why Tech fans (or probably most fans of teams he was head coach for in general) don't like him. Not even the pulling for U[sic]GA thing...he has no need to feel any loyalty to Tech anymore. But to say you don't want a shot at a big game because you might lose it? Who the hell would want a guy like that leading them?

He's probably a better coach than people give him credit for, but he's always going to get shortchanged with that type of attitude. By both fans and players. And I know this is just an off-the-cuff remark years after he actually left Tech, but the fact that no one at all is surprised he would say that says something.

The unis. and, calvin

The worst thing(s) about that game:
* 6 points (90% of ST could’ve coached and scored more than 6 points - Play #1: hand off to #22 Play #2: Fade to #21. Repeat.)
* Riley Skinner
* The rain
* The boredom
* Posters that still count that ACC Championship game in Chan's resume (it's been stricken from my records)

Losing

EDIT: I take point #1 back. There was no best thing about that game

That had to be the most miserable game I've ever been to. Between the weather, Reggie Ball and a Chan Gailey offensive game plan, it was boredom beyond boredom.

The bottom line is the POS has no respect for GT and the fans have no respect for him as a result of that. If he had even the slightest respect for GT he wouldn't have said what he did. He made sure his comments were a subtle jab at his former employer. It's probably because he has a little dick.

... and we couldn't conceivably have found a better antidote at Tech than CPJ.

you might choose to notice that the franchises he worked for represent the elite of ownerships in the NFL (except the Jets)

you could give the man his due, that he is a pretty good NFL system guy; accept the fact that college wasnt his cup of tea, and be done with it

or you can continue to pile up on a dead horse like ööööty tacklers that just jump on guys that are already down to make themselves look as if they had anything to contribute

chan is better than all of you on this board, otherwise get a ööööing job in coaching and stfu, cuz you wont have any time to be posting negative crap about ex-coaches

chan has helped a bunch of GaTech players get into the pros, get looks from the pros, and more. if you note his ex-players pretty much all defend him and talk positively about him

its mostly the mediocre fans who still wish to put the guy down.

BOR I sense your rage building as you hit the refresh button on your stored memory of the Gailey years. He was never a Tech man. He didn't even get what it meant to be a Tech man. He should have given back most of his salary instead we had to pay him millions to leave. Like the man who hired him, Dave Braine less, he never gave two damns about what it meant to be affiliated with the great history of Georgia Tech football.

Go Jackets!
 
He was awful. I'm baffled that folks continue to hire him in any capacity. He's got several years of mediocre experience, so I guess if you want a guy with experience then he does have that....but any success that has ever happened for the guy was in spite of him not because of him. Tenuta and star players won every game Gailey coached at Tech.

Chan was an easy coach and he never got up on anyone for screwing up. It's why he could recruit and it's why his players defend him. If I didn't care about winning as a player, I'd want chan over most other coaches too, get a free education and get to play patty cake at practice all year. I'm sure players don't love Tenuta, but he's the only thing that kept us over .500

I still hate pro-style pro offenses which are so incredibly boring. For me, this is an issue of aesthetics. And it holds true for nearly every NFL OC. Gailey is just the standard bearer for that particular bland of football, although McCarthy may deserve more derision now. I would dislike having most NFL OC's as a head coach at GT. That includes Gailey. It has nothing to do with whether they are a good coach. I hate most NFL offenses.

Sums it up pretty succinctly.

But people forget that mediocrity is an improvement for about half the teams out there. And you usually need to be mediocre to get the best coaches to even consider coming to a franchise.

Successful coaches have moved to faltering programs and crashed and burned. Remember Ditka at New Orleans?

I really think it is rare to find someone who can build a team from nothing to a title contender. It usually takes a different sort to get a team to respectability than it takes to improve beyond that.
 
I think Gailey is a decent-enough NFL OC. But I do think the NFL in general can be less of a meritocracy, and depend more on how well people talk in interviews and network. That sounds odd considering how quickly NFL teams fire HC's, but HC's can have a relatively small R-squared in a team's success.

You have the GM and personnel decisions of course. You have dumb luck with injuries. There is also a cyclicality of success built in with draft picks in the post-salary-cap CBA. It becomes even less clear as one disaggregates R-squared down to the coordinators and position coaches.

So the strength of interviewing and perhaps of Gailey's "reputation" helps him out, a reputation which depends on how good Gailey is at relationships with other coaches, GM's and owners. Apparently he did quite well at that, which helps him to continue being selected.
 
Gentlemen, let's not relive a disappointing past. Instead, consider the future: Gailey coaching up Geno Smith. The circumstance is fraught with embarrassment for them and hilarity for us.
