[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 412661, member: 630"] This is just wrong. Flunkgate happened because Gailey treated kids like NFL players and did not monitor their classroom work. Ralph would have continued the strict regime of O'Leary and sent gradasses around to make sure kids were in class and were otherwise doing the work. Flunkgate had everything to do with Gailey not understanding GT when he first came and nothing to do with O'Leary or APR. The way the NCAA calculates APR is based on recruiting classes, and it was O'Leary's recruiting class, but he was not at GT when flunkgate happened. Gailey figured out GT academics and he figured out recruiting. Then we fired him. He never figured out college offenses, however, and he was too stubborn to hire a quality OC. If he had, he would have been a good coach at Tech. O'Leary would have been fine with APR. People who suggest otherwise are Johnson apologists looking for excuses for the current mediocrity. There was a lot I didn't like about O'Leary, but the academic criticism has no basis in fact. [/QUOTE]
