I'm sorry to see that happen, Ken & Sonny. I hate seeing violations like that on the college level.

I'm even more sorry to see that Gailey re-signed. I'm a Redskins fan... need I say more?

I'm glad that he re-signed with Tech. GT Football has been a roller-coaster over the last 30-35 years. Looks like the Jackets will have some stability for the first time in awhile.

Frank Beamer. In his first 4 years at VPI 17-26-1. I think they're pretty glad they've had the stability.
The problem will be with the people who have decided that Chan can't get the job done and will not support him no matter what he does.

The bigger issue to me is a Fulton County Judge determining whether or not a coach can choose to keep an alleged felon off his team. What's the deal with that?

Good Ole Reub. It's not like it wasnt a Georgia-Wide fact that he was involved in that. He has no business being out on that field. I don't see how NFL players can get busted with drugs and get sent to prison. Whereas Reub gets busted with 100 pounds and they're gonna let him play? What kind of message does that send to kids? Apparently Ricky Williams should have had a talk with Reub.

Yep. There are some people within the GT fanbase that didn't like the hiring of Chan on day one and they will NEVER accept him.
