Here is one couch potato’s list:
Recruit talented players,
Develop the players to maximize their potential,
Evaluate player’s ability vs. teams needs; make line up changes as necessary,
Develop a game plan that maximizes our player strengths and attacks the opponent’s weaknesses,
During a game, make game plan adjustments as necessary and substitute players as necessary.
Maybe I’m leaving something out here but I think that’s about it. A coach can’t step on the field and make a play (unless he coaches for Northwestern).
So how does anyone look at our performance this year, no not the last two games last year, this year and say Gailey has not performed his job well? But here we still have a handful of posters who would choke before spitting out, “nice job Coach Gailey!”
In all fairness, we have active posters who work for GTAA. We also have active posters who used to work for GTAA. And I suspect there are posters here (looking back thru two seasons of comments) who have personal ties to former coaches. I can understand bias in favor or against Gailey for these reasons (not necessarily condone but understand).
But anyone who is not carrying excess baggage and is a true Tech fan has got to be thrilled with the teams (coaches and players) performance this season.
I feel sorry for those that just can’t give Gailey due credit, and I believe they are in for a ton of disappointment before Gailey has finished his career at Tech.
