They said it......and pretty much nailed it..

You got that right City!! The game was sickening to watch for most of the Tech fans around me.
 
A very accurate summary of the game..and on Gailey. However, some on this board want to sugar coat and spin everything. A few of the articles highlights..

"..the brilliant efforts of defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta--who smothered Wake's diverse and multifaceted offense with a relentless, attacking style--were wasted by Gailey, offensive coordinator Patrick Nix, and everyone else associated with the Georgia Tech offense"

"..fashioned by Gailey's failures to think."

"..the Demon Deacons won an improbable but much-deserved ACC title with a win over a Yellow Jacket squad that could never bring its talent to bear on the proceedings."

"..Chan Gailey displaying horrible game management.."

"On a day when the weakness of the ACC was revealed in front of a national television audience, Tech proved to be the weak sister in this title fight. Despite having more experience at the skill positions and a staff used to coaching in big games.."

NUFF SAID.... That game, much like the UGA loss (and all UGA losses that continually occur with Gailey) was extremely frustrating. Yet, we're supposed to be better next year according to some because why again??? An inexperienced qb and maybe no CJ... got it. :rolleyes:

Not trying to ruin your pity party but just wanted to note on that last comment. We will be better because

-We have the worst QB right now in D1A or D1AA football. Have had him for 4 years now. experience or not, QB play will improve, its honestly almost impossible for it not to.

-D will be tough as usual

-return 4 OL, all RBs and bring in 2 stud RBs. We already have one of the top rushing attacks in the country. I believe Choice in 15th in the country. As long as Nix remembers that we a rushing team and not a passing team, Choice will be a top 10 RB next year, with a stable a great rbs to spell him every now and then.

but hey, don't let me interupt this pity party that's going on. :laugher:
 
First of all, we don't have the worst QB in D1A or D1AA. That's just an idiotic statement. I'm not saying he's great, or even that he's particularly good. But he's not the worst by any way QB play is measured.

We will be better next year imo simply because we'll have someone else. I believe that any of our choices will give us an advantage because the coaches will at least know what to expect. Reggie's biggest problem is no one has an idea of what he might do. Sometimes he plays pretty poorly. But sometimes he plays pretty well.

And to the points in the article, they're pretty accurate. The biggest problem was failure to all TO on the fourth down try imo, but I also felt punting at the end was the last time we would see the ball. Gailey did have a bad game, which is inexcusable for a HC. But he will be back next year, and I still think we will be better, because the team will be more talented overall.

absolutely... Ball has acutally played brilliantly in games (see VT for just one example) and I don't fault him for the ACC game like the UGA game. To lay the end of the year collapse and continual medicore seasons at his feet is more spin by those that want to sugar coat or spin the real problem. And to think we'll be better next year simply because we'll have a new body in at qb, regardless of game experience, is crazy.

Geetee, what the hell are you talking about? No one here is sugar coating crap. I think everyone thinks Gailey stunk it up to high heaven as far as his coaching efforts these last two games. I also think the majority of the fan base including thos eon this board think that Patrick Nix is a joke and needs to be replaced. To summarize this board as sugar coating stuff is just 100% wrong. Its not happening.

You just want people to say Gailey needs to be canned right this instant, and while part of me wouldn't cry over that, the RATIONAL side of me and many others knows that with the recruting class we got coming in as well as having to compete with all the other high profile coaching turnover in the NCAA this year, ALONG with a new AD who is just beginning to get a feel for his job, that NOW is NOT the time to fire anyone.

So shut your hole because you're beginning to sound like a broken record singing a bad tune, or a retard, take your pick.
 
I think the coaching calls of the past ACCCG made me realize that CCG will never understand the modern game of FB. With that said, I agree with BOR that he should not be fired, YET. I think that we will challenge the ACC again next year. My fear of CCG is that even if he produced a top 5 team, he would still make the same occasional bonehead calls in key games. This will never change, but you have to be delicate WHEN you can a coach.
 
Our QB is fine when he's not under any sort of pressure. Once he gets some butterflies in his stomach he forgets how to play.

BOR, I can pull up your old post and show just how you've attempted to sugar coat our program....give me a break! Get some independance, quit being a "yes" man, and insist that we make some changes in the program....or unless of course, your content with this direction.....
..:bowdown: yes CCG anything you say!

Luckily he can't ban you here.
 
This may be the funniest thing I've ever read on StingTalk. BOR as a yes man, especially for Chan? You either a) don't pay much attention to the board, b) have a memory that lasts about 30 seconds, c) don't know what being a yes man means, or d) are simply stupid.

BOR may be one of the most critical people on this board, aside from the idiots who can't put together a statement more complex than "Chan sucks".

It's real simple genius. We have a new AD who has been on the job for exactly ONE football season. He's not going to fire a HC who just took us to the first ACCCG in Tech's history. No one is happy with how it ended or how the ugag game ended. But if you think firing Chan right now, with the other openings in college football, the questions that move would pose about Tech in the national media and the quality of the recruiting class he's working on is a good idea, you've just proven your football IQ.

Actually I said right now, as in the last 2 games. Looking at his stats, I saw somewhere Ball has the worst stats of any D1A or D1AA QBs for the past two games. I'm not saying he didn't improve this year, because he played well for the most part this year, but I'm refering to the last two games, since that's all everyone seems to be focusing on for some reason.

adding to my last post, one more positive for next year
-Nix should improve with his play calling in his 2nd year, learning from rookie mistakes. Did a pretty good job in his 1st year for the most part. Interested to see what he can do with a more accurate QB, since that what our offense seems to be built for.
 
I have been argueing for a QB change since the Clemson first half, so not everyone is all about just complaining when we're losing.

I can think of 4 slants over the middle attempted by TB this year. So the play calling is obviously very QB dependant.
 
Well, over the last 2 games Reggie may have the worst stats. So if you're limiting your statement to that time frame you could be right.

I think having a QB that we can count on for whatever he does will make a world of difference. Most guys do play up and down some over the course of a year. But it's rare to see the wild swings we get with Reggie.
 
wow, it never ceases to amaze me how absolutely stupid some people are.

Go ahead CitySting. Pull up old posts and lay hard evidence that I'm a yes man. Please go ahead. I would like to know the steps you are taking CitySting to demand change other than crying on this message board because let me make something clear for you.. the powers that be don't listen or read this stuff. Your opinion expressed on this board, does not matter.

And for the record, when I said now is not the time to fire anyone, I only meant the Head Coach. I'd like to see our OC shown the door immediately. And have said that repeatedly.

I think next year if we get so much as an inkling of the same old tired coaching from this staff, then I want DRad to clean house.

I am not happy about what this coaching staff has achieved. Gailey is solely to blame for our last two losses and that is a very damning statement. He only makes change in the staff when something totally fails and to me that is a sign of a bad manager.

I don't think looking for a new coach right now is all that smart due to the competition out there for coaches. Also, its pretty tough to fire a GT coach who could win 10 games. I also don't think this year gave a lot of solid evidence as to who would be good choice to replace Gailey if we went looking. The entire college football scene was down in talent in my opinion and no one really comes to mind. Only two names come up, Whisenhunt and Tenuta (and I think Tenuta could be a gamble). Would Whisenhunt come? Who knows. Paul Johnson I like a lot but would he adapt his offensive philosophy?

I do know that I trust DRad to make the right decisions, and to do that, I think we have to give him some time to settle into the position. I look forward to seeing what benchmarks he places for Chan and co. in the offseason and next year. Sometimes the best thing to do is stay put and make your move at a time when it benefits you the most. Now is not the time in my opinion. Last year unfortunately was not the time either due to the turnover in our Athletic Department. Prior to that I didn't think there was enough evidence for or against.

If reserving my right to say "fire Chan" to a later date is being a "yes" man then I guess I am. But I'm not going to be goaded into demanding for someone's head from some dip**** who quite frankly has no idea how hirings and firings work in college football or at GT.

Huh? That's crazytalk. Had Gailey retained the playcalling duties, then you might be right. Honestly, though, I'd bet we woulda won vs UGA with Gailey calling the plays. The Gailey I-form tailback stuff was was working.

Gailey may have been responsible for the decision to go for it on 4th and 1 in the ACCCG. Actually, he probably was, but he also probably wasn't responsible for the playcall (a reverse to the guy who everyone was keyed on). And if we kicked a FG there, and Wake won 12 to 9 instead of downing it out at the end, everyone would have blamed Gailey for not going for it on 4th and 1.

If you want to hang the last two losses on Gailey, hang them on him because "The Buck Stops There" or because "He Hired Nix," but the blame cannot fall on him directly. He ensured that when he gave Nix the job in the offseason.

Reggie Ball: defninitely responsible for interceptions, fumbles, craptastic throws, losing his cool, punching at people in the pile, failure to read defenses, failure to see wide open receivers, failure to deliver the ball to wide open receivers.

Nix: Definitely responsible for uninspired game planning. Likely repsonsible for some poor play calls. Possibly responsible for lots of poor play calls.

Gailey: Definitely responsible for taking the heat, and does it with dignity.
