All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Boil..

down to one of two conclusions. Chan has always been a little better than .500 everywhere he's been. Well, there is one problem with that, you can't stay there. Just like in business, your either growing or going backwards, there is no standing still. I really believe if Chan is an average coach, we will digress to a sub 500 record over his tenure. The other conclusion is that Chan has not had a QB during his time here at Tech. Well, whose fault is that? A good coach would have recognized that Reggie was not the man and made a change. He's had four years to recruit a QB! I still don't know if it it's Reggie or if it's Reggies's coach. I find it conincidental that Sugg's did not fair well under Chan's program. Men, I think the writing is on the wall, Chan is not the man. I wish he was but I just don't see our players buying into his system. I really think we need to find a bright, well respected and by that I mean in his profession and community, young, energetic assistant coach at a top notch program and turn the reins over to him. It seems like we did that back in the 40's when a man named Dodd was hired. UGA did it twice with Dooley and Richt. Also, I think the coaches that have been successful at Tech in the past have been able to develop QB's. Our best teams recently have had great QB's, unlike some of the Tailback U's in college football.

All very true, S. Ga., but keep in mind that CG was probably not hired for his coaching acumen. At the time of his hiring it was pretty clear to "some" that we had a date with the ncaa.
In that we have passed that gall stone with horrendous pain and future complications, I think it's pretty clear that we now need a college football coach.

You're right. The sad thing is, it should have only taken 2 seasons to realize that, not 4...and certainly not another 5.

I personally think Chan is a very good coach...not great, but certainly not average. However, he needs to be a coach and not a coach/OC. 10 points against any team, much less a team from the MWC is shotty. Why don't we try to go to the spread game just like everyone else is. It's the future of college footbal. It puts pressure on the defense to make tackles, because it spreads them out to where if they miss their tackle there may not be anyone else and it's 6. Our defense is all about pressure, so why the hell is our offense trying to make it easy on opposing team's defenses by lining it up and running it up the middle or chucking it deep to CJ? If southern CAl ran our form of offense they would have lost 3 games this year and quite possibly would have been let down about having to travel across country to an East Coast bowl against a crap team, leaving their hearts back home and getting blown out.

Just one point. Chan's offensive philosophy is to control the ball to protect the defense. Right or wrong he doesn't feel we can play that pressure defense if we're on the field too long. The problem is we hold the ball but then don't score.

Please explain how all those 3 and outs helped the defense
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

Duh, somehow I don't think that's what was drawn up. Sounds like you're problem is execution, which is what many are trying to say. It's not the offense we run, it's the way we run it.
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

I think saying "ball control offense" is a polite way of saying we don't score much. It is concerning Tech.
I would love to see 7 minute drives with some points attached to them, but that's not our offense.
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

I still say it's execution. Not to absolve Chan of the blame for that, but ball control doesn't equal no scoring.

I got to thinking a little, and to me there's not a lot of difference between what I think Chan is trying to do and what Fridge did in the past. Seriously, we do a little of a lot of stuff during a game. The difference is under the Fridge we got it right. One example. 1999 was the best offensive output every in Tech history in terms of total offense at 509 ypg. That year we ran the ball 67% of the time. The difference...we completed 61% of the balls we threw. Fridge has always been a run first coach. But in his good years he has a high percentage passing attack and they hit some homeruns. We don't do either. It's not by design, it's because we screw it up.
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

This whole thing being argued can be complicated if you are not watching the ball.
The given is that the offensive results have sucked.
At the end of the road, by definition it's CG's fault.

Where it breaks down is whether it's CG's fault for not having or playing a qb to make his sufficient scheme work, or whether it's Chan's fault for having a lousy scheme. A variable to this is that the scheme is so simple because we don't have anyone to run anything more interesting.

Me, I have no idea if the scheme is great but believe that if someone could run something more complex, we would see it
and would be happy with that scheme.

Like I said, it's all Chan's fault. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drink1.gif
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

When I was in high school my senior year we went to a "ball control" offense because we a) couldn't go deep successfully, b) couldn't hit the short pass consistently and c) didn't have breakaway speed running the ball. Its an offense of last resort.

a) usually results from lack of receiver ability or QB arm strength. b) usually from lack of QB accuracy.
 
Re: All The Post About Gailey\'s Program Seem To Bo

Exactly. Charlie Weis said on ESPN radio, it's all about what your quarterback can handle. ND is running what their QB can handle, and so are we. Chan's problem is he's hitched his star to a QB that's limited in what he can do. As you say, either way it's his fault. Either find a new QB. Or design an offense for the one you have that can score points.
