It\'s not how you start, it\'s how you finish !
I believe Coach Gailey himself used this quote earlier in the year, though I am sure many others have used it as well. The facts are we did not finish well losing 3 of our last 4 games. I remember many on here said they would judge Coach Gailey on how the team progresses throughout the year and while some very good progress was noted in mid year, it appears we peaked on October 23rd at the Maryland game. It was clear that we had much to gain as we went to Durham to face a Duke team we outmanned and should have handled easily. We did rally to take out UNC who is another poor team this year but we just did not get the job done in Chralotteville or at home this past Saturday.
There is no doubt that Coach Gailey will be here next year and probably beyond that if Braine stays in power. I will support him as long as he is in place. I am concerned with the way this year finished out. I am very concerned about playing Boise State in the Humanitarian Bowl and how we match up against that particular team. I feel we could have done better with the players and talent we had on this team and I feel like we did not get the best out of this group. I think that is a direct reflection on the Head Coach and it concerns me that while Chan is a good man he is just not the right man for Georgia Tech.
I will continue to hope for the best but remain concerned that what we have seen so far is what we are in store for. Mediocrity.
Go Jackets!
