Dolphins offensive coordinator Gailey resigns

Dolphins offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has resigned, according to the team.

Just kidding!

Gailey is a good football man. I will always stand behind that. But in an era of imaginative offenses, he is out of place. He may be retired for good this time.

No thanks! We're moving forward, not backwards. Go Jackets!

Does Ryan Fitzpatrick have any eligibility left as a grad student?

 

[jacketup]

If I was AD, I would not have fired Chan. I would have forced him to hire a qualified OC (and we had the money to do so). If he refused, then he could have resigned and no buy out.

 

[Coloradojacket]

Why do we need Chan, our current offense at 20 points per game is only slightly better than Chan's 19.....

 

[GTRanj2]

Boooo

I am not yet convinced that we are moving forward, although I do believe we are trying to. But I totally agree that rehiring Gailey would be moving backwards.

Run right for a yard, run left for two, incomplete pass, punt. I know, I know we had some good backs and gained some yards but it seemed we must have set a record for 3 and outs in the Gailey years. Lose 6-3 to Wake WITH CALVIN!!!

And CTC in the backfield.

That's not how contracts work.

 

[swarmer]

would be an improvement over the current guy

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

Gailey needed a top flight recruiter and a great offensive coordinator like Friedgen. No doubt he knew football.

Edit to add: needed to win more than 7 per year. We definitely had reached a plateau. (Sarcasm)

That's not how contracts work.

Homer forced Lewis to hire O'Leary. I have negotiated and enforced more contracts than you have...I guarantee you....but I also know how the real world works.

But you’re saying if he refused he would have no buyout? Not sure about that.

That's how we got Patrick Nix.

I can see how it could be true.

Gailey was a decent QB away from establishing himself as a top shelf head coach at GT. Was the failure to get a better option at QB or develop the one(s) he had his responsibility? Yep, same with the OC. But I thought he ran the program well, despite being hobbled by the fallout from the academic/eligibility mess he unknowingly inherited.

I think we broke the record last year

 

[ncjacket79]

I mean anything is possible but it’s a rare coaching contract that doesn’t include a buyout except in specific instances spelled out in advance. Maybe it was different back then?
