for his "updates" at www.coachgailey.com! That would explain a lot.
You can read his latest here:
Vandy Game
I was already a littel worried, and then I read this:
"On special teams , the game ball goes to Reggie Ball who played exceptionally well early and late"
uhhhhhhhhhhhh, okay???? That one just left me bewildered. I was actually concerned when I read his first statement though:
"It was one of the most exciting finishes for Georgia Tech in a couple of years"
No it was not exciting. It was depressing and and I am simply thankful that we pulled a miracle out to win it. I am happy for Reggie and what he can learn from it.
It was exciting in Raleigh last year when we put it all together to beat a 9-0 NCSU team in their home stadium. It was exciting when we beat Auburn this year at BDS.
It is exciting when you do something you weren't suppoed to do. It is exciting when you beat your arch rival by 1 point or 50. It is not exciting to almost be embarrassed by Vandy. I am just not sure what Gailey is trying to say here.
"We hope this is something, as we are learning every week with a young team, that we know we can come back at any time and win a ball game on offense or defense."
Say what???? I certainly think they can learn a lot from this game. Especially that they will beat inferior teams if they are focused and prepared, but to come from behind? There is nothing to suggest we could come from behind against an average to better than average team. What are we going to come from behind with?
Before everyone jumps all over me... I am sure that I am reading way too much into his words. However, I just can't follow the logic that appears in a lot of his thoughts. These are purely my opinions, but he scares me more and more everytime he gives a "quote". Luckily, media savvy has little to do with coaching ability.
Honestly, I would just assume he didn't speak too much (and I won't ask any questions). I just assume he put his team on the field at this point and let the performances speak for themselves. I am still giving Gailey his deserved fair chance. I have not waivered from that. He is just making it incredibly hard to be a fan of his.
