RAIN OF HAMMERS, CONT'D: GAILEY

Best Christmas present ever!

Chantastic!

Short Wishlist:

Will Muschamp
Paul Johnson
Chris Hatcher.

Thank God. Boom MF YEAH!

Boo!

It’s like Reggie Ball just ran out of eligibility or something…

A sad day.

The Orgeron is available and ready tagotalanner.

What do you want?

Muschamp…defense
Johnson…..running game
Hatcher….passing game

Looks like you need a combination of all three.

When is Houston Nutt going to get the chair?

State troopers guarding Gailey? From who, or whom? Crickets?

Watching Southern football always cracks me up when the State Troopers show up. Oh Boy, there they are! There’s Jethro, there’s Cletus, oh and over there is that dude from Good Times. Those jock-sniffer-coaches must be big shots.

Some of those State Troopers are so old or fat or old and fat that they could not guard a cherry cobler.

Give a State Trooper a mean old dog that will bite someone, at least that will be worth something to see, instead of their pitiful teams on the field.

That’s cherry COBBLER, motherfucker. At least get your southern desserts right, you ass hat.

I think it was Bear who started that State Trooper business.

Coaches: Will it blend?

Heck, if we’re wishing now, how about Dan Mullen, or will that get me banned from the blog?

Bower at Southern Miss is out after 7-5 season
according to Clarion Ledger

Muschamp hasn’t exactly faired well against his alma mater.. I assume Tech’s goal is to beat Georgia.

His D vs Richt/Bobo.

2004 UGA 45 LSU 16
2006 UGA 37 AU 15
2007 UGA 45 AU 20

Bower at Southern Miss is out after 7-5 and bowl bid

#5: He’s not the only unemployed Magnolia state coach today, either.

paging SMQ: wtf?

Muschamp to Tech…Orgeron to Auburn as DC/Recruiting Co-ordinator…..Sounds good to me!

Three tried and true subjects/running gags are now toast: (1) Carr; (2) Ogeron; and (3) Gailey. And is Houston Nutt soon to follow?

Mr. Swindle’s caustic wit will have to seek some new targets. Goodbye old friends.

Duke’s Ted Roof out as well. Not surprising…

This is the best thing to happen to the program since Ball graduated was declared ineligible.

John Tenuta come on dowwwwwn.

Since Bo Pelini is interviewing for other jobs with another week left to go…

@10: Troopers do bring dogs to games in the South. Didn’t you notice?

I think it was the loss to Notre Dame that really did Roof in. You can’t keep losing to doormats like that and expect to keep your job.

Re: #22

And by that logic, I’m guessing you’re implying that Dorrell should probably be tossed too if he also posts an L at USC this weekend? Harbaugh hasn’t had enough time at Stanford yet….

Dogs and ’Bama Fans Dept:

#21: Ugas Texan: Excellent video of the Dog Biting Man scene.

I wonder if that dog was trained by racist or ’Bama fans and surreptitiously put on the sidelines to attack at the right moment….

…..to attack the Black Man or the Auburn Man. Maybe both?

If I remember correctly, that dog was expelled from the game right after the bite. If ’Bama fans had more teeth, they would probably be fighting too…..

……and biting!!!!

It’s about damn time. His time here had expired.

If he doesn’t land in the pros, Gailey would probably do pretty well at Duke. They’ll go 7-5 every year and be delighted. Although they probably wouldn’t be too keen on hiring one of our castoffs again after Ted “Leaky” Roof bombed.

This has seriously made my day. I danced a little when it was made official.

Maybe now we’ll have someone who can develop quarterback talent and show an iota of creativity on the offensive side of the ball.

Not sure where all the Techies are getting this “we should compete for the ACC every year” mentality.

Dodd is long dead and those glory days ain’t coming back. It took the perfect storm of UGA having Donnan at HC, the Fridge calling plays for Tech and hordes of NCAA-ineligible players for Tech to beat UGA at all since the fluke 1990 season.

Face it Tech, you’re the ACC’s answer to Ole Miss. Great 50 years ago, barely relevant now, and Gailey just may be your Cutcliffe. There are worse things than going 7-5, ask Duke. Here’s hoping Bill Lewis Part Deux gets you there.

Shit. The Edsall to Tech rumors have already started up here. Fuck. Cock and Balls. Shit.

Despite the beatdown this weekend, the fact that UConn is 9-3 (who cares how!) is proof positive that Edsall is God.

#30-

Is not winning a national championship since Herschel a “fluke” too?

31 – Edsall is God – it’s good to see you back, my friend. For a while there, I thought a Domer hacked your password.

#32:

Good luck in Boise and Best Wishes from Miami Beach

Signed,
Mark Richt

#32, perhaps if y’all spent less time wondering why Georgia hasn’t won a national title since 1980 and a little more time wondering why you’re 7-20 against us in that time, you wouldn’t be scouting hotel rooms in Boise right now.

Jon Tenuta

33 – I still have love for the Irish. Wooo, big win over Stanford! Orson should mention Jim Harbaugh trying to kill his QB after the QB got concussed bad and was put back on the field. The announcers were talking like they were covering a funeral.

And I’m finally sober. I was drunk since about, ohh, 38-14 Saturday afternoon. West F’in Virginia is way too f’in good.

#30

I think that having Joe Hamilton as the Heisman runner-up also has something to do with it. And as happy as I am that the Institute is making a change, we did win our division last year.

UNC is the Ole Miss of the ACC.

Will (the other one),

Throw out Richt and Herschel and what is UGA footballs legacy? Hmmmm….

That is all.

Can I go ahead and start the rumor that the SEC and C-USA want to trade Ole Miss for Southern Miss?

Totally unsubstantiated, of course…but wouldn’t people believe it anyway?

Las Cronicas — done.

It’s officially Orson Swindle Comedy Graveyard Week 2007.

@ 39:

Wally Butts?

Of course, you might as well say to TAFKATOSU to “throw out Woody Hayes and Jim Tressell” or tell Orson to “throw out Spurrier and Tebow”…

???

Back in the day at Hawaii games, every UH touchdown would bring on a confetti bonanza from the stands, not to mention the wasteful but visually appealing practice of uncoiling entire rolls of toilet paper from the upper decks. Last friday’s shower of paper wasn’t too bad by comparison.

And the actual football match was a good one, from a Hawaii perspective, anyway. The arc traced by the ball in that one long touchdown pass from Colt Brennan to C. J. Hawthorne was like the graph from a mathematical proof of awesome.

I’ve got it!!!

After He comes to GT, Edsall is God’s new handle will be: “Edsall is Gone.”

SEC Coach of the Year Dept:

Croom! Croom! Croom!

(sorry Ol’ Ball Coach)

#39: I don’t know, maybe Charlie Trippi and Frank Sinkwich, another Heisman winner and one of college football’s greatest players, EVAR™!

Plus, I mean, a good part of our legacy is beating you guys like a drum almost every season since the 50’s. Here’s to Reggie Ball, and the Chantastic Gailey.

Chan getting fired is not about Tech fans thinking that they should win the MNC every year, its about having some sort of hope that they MIGHT catch lightning in a bottle every so often, like in 1990 or during the Joe Hamilton-Ralph Friedgen years. Chan doesn’t give Tech fans that kind of optimism. Trust me, there were no Tech fans trumpeting their division title last year as a turning point. With the talent in this state, it is possible.

As for candidates, if they want flash, instant credibility, and an immediate shot in the arm for the fanbase and ticket sales, then Terry Bowden is the guy. But if they are truly willing to try to build something and be patient, then my choices would be

1. Strong, even if it means Tenuta leaves
2. Hatcher
3. Johnson

with the condition that Giff Smith stays on as Recruiting Coordinator.

Maybe I was wrong, Tech is the Minnesota of the ACC (Minnesota was big in the 40s too I think).

And now Tech’s thinking of getting in touch with Glen Mason, the Chan of the Big 10.

nah, we’re more like Purdue

Good riddance to Chan’s departure. Few coaches in football have mismanaged their personnel the way he has at Georgia Tech over the last six seasons. Instead of spending four years failing to develop the undersized Reggie Ball into a pass-first quarterback in a pro-style offense, Chan should have recruited a more appropriate quarterback to his system or installed a more appropriate system for his quarterback.

As much as I hate to defend Reggie Ball, he would have been serviceable at least if he was allowed to move outside the pocket. The Yellow Jackets’ roster would have been ideal for the spread option: Ball would have seen the field better without having to look over his linemen; P.J. Daniels and Tashard Choice would have been more productive out of the backfield; and opposing defenses would have been forced to move their focus away from Calvin Johnson. If the team was running the spread last year, they would have been a top-10 team, and Johnson would have won the Heisman.

So long, Chan. Have fun taking seven wins a year and a .500 conference winning percentage somewhere else.

I like Free Sample’s list, although I’d have Hatcher/Johnson ahead of Strong. We’d like to get an offensively minded head coach (can’t get more offensively minded than Hatcher running the Air Raid) but if they won’t go, Strong would make a great head coach, as long as we could get an OC. It might mean Tenuta leaves, as he’d probably land as DC at LSU after Pelini goes to Nebraska, but with a defensive mind at HC, it’s not as big a loss as it could be.
