I know it will be argued that it's up to the SA's for their school work. However, a coach has to be involved in the academic arena. There have been enough disturbing posts about lax standards to see this is more than just rumor-mongering. It's one thing to lose 1 or 2 players. That will happen to even the most involved coach. However losing 8 with the possiblity of even more is ridiculous. Gailey should resign and if he won't he should be fired. There is a coach out there who is available who is just what Tech needs. His name is Tom Coughlin. Coughlin turned around the B.C. program. After a 4-7 start, he went 8-3-1 and 9-3. He upset #1 Notre Dame in 1993 and hung tough against #1 Miami losing 19-14 in 1991. Coughlin is also a disciplinarian. Kids will be in class under Coughlin. There are indications that after his stint in the NFL, he wants to get back into the college game. Also, Coughlin ran an wide-open offense in Jacksonville which I believe would be a good fit for Bilbo. 2003 is pretty much shot if the other names are who have been posted. Bring in Coughlin and let's start to rebuild.
