"I remember when this guy got drunk and spouted off and Manning called him an idiot punter." That was Mike Vanderjagt (or similar)

11 200 yard games out of 32? wow

How do you know if any of those players would have been any good on this team?

5-11 with luck Gailey compiled six winning seasons in six years at the helm. However, he never defeated Tech's biggest rival, the University of Georgia, never won the ACC, never went to a BCS bowl, never won more than 9 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 his last 3 games to rival UGA, Wake Forest in the ACC championship game and West Virginia in the Gator Bowl. (from wiki)

I am guessing that none of the big names are going to let Russ Brandon make the personnel decisions.

You know, there may be an element of strategy in all of this. It just possible that people are interested in the job, the control, the money and the ownership without coming right out and saying "That's a better offer than I ever dreamed possible." If you have 5-6 teams interested, why wouldn't you string them all along and try to get the best overall offer? Also, IMO the control is probably the biggest thing to these already wealthy guys.

Since Marty is out, why not Don Shula? Just as logical as any other name tossed out there.

How does Fewell get 3 votes?

I will be surprised if we get any big name coach. I hope I'm wrong. I agree that it's not a ticket selling thing, more of a face saving for next year.

My read on Kelly's comments is that he's given up on Edwards due to TE's lack of mental toughness. He won't even try to make the throws and he's not a leader. He's the anti-Kelly in those ways.

And more beer, especially this year.

It's a good dream. I hope it comes true. Isn't he as big as Ellison?

Can't do that. We have to protect our high spot in the pass defense rankings.

I'm thinking he has a shot at the record this week. Isn't is 303 yards?

If Edwards realizes that his career is pretty much over unless he starts making the throws, and he then responds by actually making them, then maybe we get more than 2 more wins. I would love to see him decide to at least try to become a QB and salvage his career, but I'm not holiding my breath. On the other hand, we were down to our 4th right tackle last week. The remaining talent is weak.
