WHAT??? Why?? Son of a bitch. We're likely going to finish with 6 wins again and wind up in a mid-level bowl again where we may finish the year out with 7 wins total. We have only one quality win, and it's over Auburn. We didn't even play like a Div. I-A team in Blacksburg when VT trounced us. We blew a winnable game at home against an awful NC State team. We were our inconsistent selves against UVA last weekend. Miami is going to destroy us. I hate the thought of UGA coming into Bobby Dodd and crushing us at home again, but it seems rather inevitable. Despite being ranked 23 in the BCS last week, we're probably going to finish the season 0-3. When the bowls start sending out invites, how is that going to look? We'll be lucky to go to Charlotte. Clearly, reading Braine's comments, the problem goes higher up than Gailey. You heard it here first folkes, Dave Braine is mentally unstable and probably on drugs. I've normally stood behind his decisions, but yikes. I even like Gailey, but he's not producing. Had we beaten UVA last weekend, I'd let him slide as we'd at least have a shot at an 8 win season. GT can win 9 or 10 games? Really? Why don't we fucking do it then Dave? Because we don't have the talent we need? Coaching. Because GT is too hard academically to get good players? Didn't we win the National Title in 1990? Weren't we in the Gator Bowl and Peach Bowl my first two years at Tech? Wasn't Joe Hamilton a Heisman finalist? Is it because the players make dumb mistakes? Coaching. Because of dumb play calling that I can read from literally 600 miles away sitting on my sofa (3rd and long, we're going to run it. 3rd and short, time to pass - this is lunacy)? Coaching. I'm outraged that Dave Braine would offer Gailey a contract extension based on his performance thus far. We were ranked this year when we started 3-0 after beating Auburn, fine. Then we were out of the rankings until after we beat Wake to go to 6-2, which never would have happened had the hurricane not postponed the Miami game because then we'd have been 6-3 at that time. Gailey has not produced results. He's produced status quo. He's produced mediocrity. Oh. Well there it is. No wonder he got an extension... (Frankly, I'm surprised GT didn't ask for Coach Hewitt's resignation after playing for the National Championship two years ago...) Regardless of how we finish the season, even if we beat Miami and UGA and trounce our opponent in our bowl game, I don't feel that Gailey has currently earned an extension. If that all occurs, yes, we'd have beaten 3-4 quality opponents and finished with a 9 win season. Extensions all around. But right now? Hell no. I'm incensed.
