From the ex-head coach himself:

"I'm not sure if there's any coaches out there," he said, "who went to the playoffs two years and got fired, then went to a bowl six straight years and got fired."

"I've liked Chan Gailey as a person enormously," Wayne Clough said. "But he wasn't ringing the bell of our constituency."

"Nobody likes to get fired," said Gailey, a former head coach with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. "But all they can take is your job. They can't take your pay. They can't take your family. They can't take your integrity."

Hah! No, we can't take your pay, damn it! :laugher:

Hah! No, we can't take you pay! :laugher:

No kidding, just ask O'Leary.

Hey...Maybe we can get him free for a year?

"I'm not sure if there's any coaches out there," he said, "who went to the playoffs two years and got fired, then went to a bowl six straight years and got fired."

I'm not sure if there has been a collegiate coach who has lost to their rival 6 straight times and not been fired.

Now THAT is kinda funny.

"We demand you fill your end of the contract. We need 2 more years of coaching, please."

 

[TechSBP]

The attitude that going to any ol' bowl and never getting past the first round in the playoffs is why he got fired.

Too bad he couldn't piece that together.

 

[Jiggy McBee]

Glad to see he has fully accepted his mediocre self.

As our boy Muschamp would say "good riddance mother f*cker!"

 

[loyalGTfan]

Guys stop talking like we just fired Gailey and god forbid don't joke about him! Seriously... real classy guys

 

[GT65_UGA89]

Curry survived four consecutive L's to UGA ('80-'83) to go on and win in '84 & '85.

 

[srschirm]

Way to talk himself up at the end there.

 

[FAN OF BOBBY DODD]

Hah! No, we can't take your pay, damn it! :laugher:

This is a misquote;. Thread on stingtalk clears this up. He says faith not pay.

 

[beej67]

Curry survived four consecutive L's to UGA ('80-'83) to go on and win in '84 & '85.

And if Curry had lost in 84, he very well may have been let go, hehe.

Maybe he needs to hire a life coach or something to see if there might be another reason why he was let go twice in spite of those "accomplishments". I wonder what he might learn?

 

[AlBeedam]

Gailey didn't say "take your pay"..

He said take your FAITH.

About Tenuta:

Radakovich would only confirm one candidate: Tenuta, who wants a shot at his first head coaching position but said he'd probably be willing to stay at Georgia Tech to work for someone else.

"Every guy who becomes an assistant coach wants a chance to sit in that big chair," said Tenuta, who came to Georgia Tech as part of Gailey's original staff and has consistently produced one of the nation's higher-rated defenses.

And yes, the "cant' take your pay" thing was a wretched misquote. Doesn't need to be spoken about further.

 

[Yukonwreck]

He is a self-serving prick. But maybe the hapless Dolphins will call him back. He and Ricky Williams could be running mates on South Beach.
