Let's complete the picture a little bit...
Toledo was in his 7th season at UCLA. Also, UCLA has a new athletic director; more often than not, AD's want "their guy" as coach for better or worse.
The GT program has things that need to be addressed and corrected. Right now the most pressing things to do are recruiting and preparation for the bowl game. So far, recruiting has picked up and I am excited about the DT's; also, this is a big weekend as far as who is coming in to visit. Hopefully, we will see a gameplan and performance similar to the UVA/NCSU games to make the offseason a bit better.
Further, if Gailey were fired today, who do you get to come in? Recruiting would suffer tremendously. To an outsider looking in, what coach would come to a school that fired a coach for having a winning record and going to a bowl game in his first season at the helm, despite very avg. QB play and lots of injuiries? Again, I am not happy w/the way that the season ended; if Gailey does not improve in Year 2, chances are strong that there will not be a year 3.
Let's see how recruiting finishes up and how the team plays in the bowl game; this should give us some idea of the program heading into spring practice and a tough schedule next year.
