I have seen a lot of posts on here that claim they have never heard Clough or DRad say they want an offensive mind. Well here is a quote from Clough and a link to the article.
As for football smarts, Clough admits he's not a gridiron genius. But Clough did say he would hope for a coach who could bring more innovation on offense -- anything to get more alumni, students and even non alumni more excited and in the stands. The stadium at Georgia Tech recently underwent an expansion, putting the athletics program in debt, according to news reports.
"We're looking for a coach who plays an exciting game," Clough said. "But I'm just an engineer. That's the ADs job."
Gailey had four years remaining on his contract at $1 million a year. He's credited with finishing with a winning season and ending with a bowl game every year since being hired in 2002.
But one goal has been elusive.
"He had more Ws than Ls ... except Georgia," Clough said.
