Chan Gailey fired at Georgia Tech

[Seattle Slew]

I think Gailey is a pretty decent coach. Georgia Tech is not that easy a place to win at, especially in football.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech fired coach Chan Gailey on Monday, two days after his sixth straight loss to rival Georgia ended a disappointing season.

Athletic director Dan Radakovich called an afternoon news conference to discuss the football program. A person familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made, told The Associated Press that Gailey would be dismissed after six seasons as the Yellow Jackets coach.

The move was widely expected after Georgia Tech (7-5) came up far short of another run at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship one year after winning its division. Also, Gailey never beat the school's biggest rival, dropping to 0-6 with a 31-17 loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday.

This was a dumb move to GT I think.

What exactly does GT really expect out of it's football program anyways, because they are more noted as being a basketball school.

Didn't see that one coming. I hate it for him. I met him last year at a coaching clinic. He is a good guy and a good coach. I think he was doing a good job with tech.
