Deja Vu All Over Again....

MsTA, you still continue to state false information.

Tech did not lose the last three games of last year. They lost only the last two games of the year. So, why try to skew the data?

Now, O'Leary lost to LSU in his last bowl game of his career to a team it was predicted to beat. Tech had a 9-2 record going into the Peach Bowl and bombed against a weaker LSU.

So, Tech bombed against a weaker Fresno State. If Gailey was at fault against Fresno State, so was O'Leary against LSU.

In stead of O'Leary getting better in the end in his last year with a top ten rated team, he got worse and lost the last three out of four games in 2001. Gailey also lost the last three out of four in his last three games of the year.

Gailey had less material than O'Leary and a new staff. So, smart people would say Gailey did better in his last four games than O'Leary, becasue Tech was rated as the fifth best

preseason team in the ACC for 2002.

So, if Gailey was at fault, so was O'Leary.

If you are talking about dignity, I beleive O'Leary finished at Tech with less dignity than Gailey did at the finish of his first year.

If you are only as good as your last games, then O'Leary's last four games put him in "No man's land".

Your statements continue to be based on your opinions only with no facts behind them.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Your continuance of quoting me incorrectly is a problem - if you want to debate - debate by reading what I SAID FIRST! You again choose "to put words in my statements that aren't there"! I said the "last 3 games" not the last 3 losses and proceeded from there! The last 3 games played by GT were a disgrace - Duke included!

Now you can finish reading!

If you are continually going to compare O'Leary and Gailey at least do it with the proper perspective. Comparing O'Leary's last year is tainted because that team quit as soon as it was apparent the coach's were leaving or considering leaving to go to ND when Davey was fired. Also, don't diminish the effect of 9/11 and the FSU cancellation. That year was a case of we will never know and I do think O'Leary failed as a coach and let us down in 2001. Also enough of Ralph was the reason for all Tech success for the last 15 years. Give the HC some credit for recognizing staff weakness and hiring him which is the sign of a good coach.

Gailey is the subject of criticisim from me for several reasons. One, his failure to start the Tech job immediately upon being hired. Two, trusting Dave Braine (who I consider a cancer in the AA) too much. Three, his own mouth. He makes statements and sets expectations that never materialize ("I have gameplanned for UGa since Feb." etc.).

Now that being said, Gailey has taken steps in the offseason that shows he has learned from his mistakes. He has taken the program from Dave Braine. He hired his staff. He seems to be in control. I expect him to win seven games next year and a losing season is not acceptable.

Wow! I haven't seen a thread like this since "Chan Rumor". Way to stir it up Beebad! Anyone know the thread length record, btw?

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">calderman.. I thought the gailey debate would be dying with the season not too far way... Did you? Instead it appears the anger is boiling in the hot summer sun... I think we should all get a couple tables at the kick-off party w/boxing gloves as party favors... lol</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">BeeBad, I was hoping to get the last post in on this thread. That would obviously prove that I am right, and the rest of you people are wrong.
