Is their a coach that "learned under" Gailey that is successful?

Whether the coaches "learned under" O'Leary isn't really the point. The fact that O'Leary hired coaches that were talented enough to be sought after and receive promotions to coordinator and HC positions from other programs speaks volumes about his ability to hire assistants. Meanwhile, none of Gailey's hires have really moved up the ladder.

Yep...Tenuta has been a big disappointment.
Like him or not...Nix got a pay raise to go to Miami.
Geoff Collins got his pay doubled at Alabama.
Roof got hired at Duke because he lost his job at GT after O'Leary left for ND..and then could not take him on staff at ND because he was fired on this third day.
 
Tenuta is not at Tech because of Gailey. Gailey tried to hire Smith, the DC from Kentucky.

Nix was going to be gone whether he got the OC job at Miami or not. The guy is not qualified to be an OC at a major D-IA. Miami fans are figuring that out real quick.

O'Leary was the one that originally hired Geoff Collins as a GA and then as a TE Coach. Geoff left the first time because he got offerred a DC position.

Roof was offered to stay as LB coach with a pay cut. After Roof learned of the pay cut, he went looking for other opportunities and on short notice got offered another DC position at Duke which he parlayed into the HC position.

IMO, O'Leary does a better job of hiring assistants. Feel free to disagree with me.
 
I'm so tired of this "Gailey didn't hire Tenuta" stuff. At the time Gailey made the offer to Rick Smith, Tenuta had a job, DC at UNC. When the Smith thing fell through, Gailey and Tenuta were connected by Braine, who knew Tenuta from the old days. What I don't remember is where Tenuta was with his UNC position at that point. He and Bunting definitely had issues so I don't know if Tenuta called or Braine did. But the bottom line is Gailey offered him the DC position and Tenuta has been happy working with Chan since then.
 
Clearly we need Braine as a head coach, because he hired Tenuta.

Let's start over.

First of all, Nix averaged 24.9 points per game in 2006 (including the bowl game). But I'm not cherry-picking one season and comparing it to someone else's career average. Nix' career average at Tech is 21.8 ppg (22.0, 18.5 and 24.9 in 2004-2006 respectively).

So, no, he's not 3% better than Painter. Nice try, tho.

Yes, let's start over.

Nix doesn't get credit for the points the defense and special teams scored in 2006. Thus, he was responsible for a scoring average of 23.5, not 24.9. If that adjustment wasn't made for Painter, then he is even better than the 3% calculation. And B.), it is not cherry-picking when Nix' career as a play-calling OC consisted of only one season. Thus, once again, making his CAREER average 23.5 ppg as a play-calling OC.

So, yes, he is 3% (or more) better than Painter using this stupid manner of comparing OCs. Nice try, tho.
 
Nix sucks, I don't care what the stats say. Any OC who goes away from what's working late in two games as important as ugag and Wake is a complete fool.
