Georgia Tech fires head coach

[JoseA]

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.

When they beat Notre Dame in the season opener it looked like Georgia Tech was off to a great season. We later found out how bad Notre Dame was! In my opinion it's kind of a harsh firing one season after they won the ACC. They will make a Bowl game this season, but supposedly that isn't good enough.
