I was just watching Sunday NFL Countdown. Mortenson is rumoring that Chan Gailey could becoming our O-Coordinator with Alex Gibbs coaching the O-line.

He's got the experience. From WIKIPEDIA

Troy State, Air Force, Troy Gailey stayed with Florida as a graduate assistant for two years before taking his first actual coaching job as the secondary coach for Troy State University in Alabama. After two seasons there, he spent four seasons with the Air Force Academy, including two as defensive coordinator under head coach Ken Hatfield.[3] In 1983, he took over the head coaching duties at Troy, where he led the Trojans to a 12-1 record in 1984 en route to the Division II championship.[4]

Professional leagues

He moved up to the NFL ranks the next year, when the Denver Broncos signed him as a defensive assistant and special teams coach. The team made three Super Bowl appearances during his six-year tenure. He then became the head coach of the Birmingham Fire of the World League of American Football, where the team made the playoffs both years he was coach. After a one-year stint as head coach at Samford University, he returned to the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He started off as coach for the wide receivers, then moved up to offensive coordinator for the 1996 and 1997 NFL seasons. Gailey was then hired to take over a struggling Dallas Cowboys squad, one that had faltered under Barry Switzer during his last year. Gailey's Cowboys won the NFC East in 1998, and made the playoffs under his two years at the reins, although they failed to win a playoff game. He then returned to the offensive coordinator role, this time with the Miami Dolphins.[5]

Georgia Tech

Gailey was hired by the Yellow Jackets in 2002 to replace George O'Leary who left to become Head Coach at the University of Notre Dame, and was resigned in 2007.[6] In his first five years at Georgia Tech, he had compiled a 37-27 record. Georgia Tech went to bowl games each year under Gailey, and won two: the 2003 Humanitarian Bowl (a 52-10 win over the University of Tulsa), and the 2004 Champs Sports Bowl (a 51-14 victory over Syracuse University). However, in seven seasons at the helm, Gailey never defeated Tech's biggest rival, the University of Georgia, never won the ACC, never went to a BCS bowl, never lost fewer than 5 games, and never finished in the top 25. The 2006 season was his most successful at Georgia Tech winning the ACC Coastal Division, but losing to Wake Forest in the ACC championship game.[7]

Gailey's name was mentioned for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins head coaching jobs following the 2006 season, two teams for which he was offensive coordinator.[8] Gailey got neither job. On January 19, 2007 Gailey announced he would return to Georgia Tech.[9]
After a 7-5 2007 regular season and losing for the sixth straight year to the Georgia Bulldogs football team, it was announced on November 26, 2007 that Gailey has been dismissed and will have his $1 million/year contract bought out.[10][11][12][13]

Awesome, a retread who can't hack it in college.

There's nothing quite like circling the drain.

Dude, O-coordinators are retreads all the time.

I dont like retread Head Coaches, but coordinators are fine. Especially if they have a proven track record as Chan Gaily does.

**The Bad Guy** · 01-06-2008, 11:09 AM

Why would some of you want a young college coach brought in here when Herm can push him around to call his standard bullshit?

Gailey would be a great hire.

He has NFL experience and his offenses have been typically very good.

blueballs · 01-06-2008, 11:11 AM

someone with experience is what this team needs
Herm is with out a doubt clueless about offense
