[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 472698, member: 630"] I have previously pointed out why this isn't true, but I'll post it again. The NCAA calculates graduation rates by recruiting class. Flunkgate happened under Gailey, not under O'Leary. But those recruiting classes were O'Leary's not Gailey's. Gailey's failure to monitor class attendance and academic work was a black mark against O'Leary's graduation rates. For those that don't remember Flunkgate, when Gailey came to Tech he thought he was still an NFL coach or a coach at an easy school. He didn't monitor class attendance or academic progress. The kids were used to O'Leary who ran all things with an iron fist. Since Gailey was lax, so were the kids, and we had a major academic problem after year 1 of Gailey. To Gailey's credit, he learned. He put academic monitoring in place. His recruiting improved. He learned to be a good head coach at this level and this institution, and then we fired him. He had one flaw, and that is that he would not hire a quality offensive coordinator. Pat Nix? Last I heard he was coaching high school ball. Then we hired a good offensive coordinator. He is also the head coach. Recruiting, defense and special teams have been subpar under this head coach. Is there another BCS school where the head coach is also a coordinator? In modern college football I'm not sure it's possible to do both. [/QUOTE]
