Georgia Tech Fires Gailey

November 26, 2007 |

Former Georgia Tech Football Coach Chan GaileyIn a move that just goes to show you better win your rivalry games, Georgia Tech fired coach Chan Gailey after six season, and six losses to the Georgia Bulldogs. Athletic director Dan Radakovich basically called Gailey boring when he said “As far as Xs and Os, Chan is a very good coach. But there’s more to it now. College football is more than just Xs and Os, especially in the competitive market where we are.”

Now that’s a new one. The AD admitted the guy’s a good coach. The coach has a good, though not great, record. The team played for a conference title the previous year. And the guy gets fired for being boring.

Gailey ranked #60 in our latest rankings with a 123.77.
