Hello Everyone:
New to Sting Talk, I found it interesting that Coach Gailey is NOT coming to the Macon Touchdown Club this year. As most Middle Georgians know, the Macon TD club is well respected around the state, and quite large for Macon's size.
The club host mainly college head coaches each fall (Chuck Amato, Ralph Friedgen), with the two most heavily attended meetings being the UGA and Tech head coaches. The Macon Telegraph writer noted: “perhaps for the first time ever”, Ga. Tech’s head coach will miss speaking to the Macon Touchdown Club.
I find this a very shortsighted tactic by Gailey. I heard Ross speak during his first two seasons(3W,8L) and felt much better about the program, than if he had ducked the event.
I can understand cutting back on speaking engagements, but Macon is only a quick drive down the road.
