LOL! I love how Florio toutes Gailey for making a Bowl game each of the six years he was with Georgia Tech. Is he serious? Silcon Valley Classic (that no longer exists), The Humanitarian Bowl (twice), Champ Sports Bowl, and the Emerald Bowl. Not exactly among the premiere bowls. Getting into a Bowl game is like making the playoffs in NHL or NBA.
Gailey is a great coordinator, but a so-so head coach. He is just another retread the Bills have brought in and is just holding the job for the next retread who takes the job in three years.
I hear you about those crappy bowls, but on the other hand, I wouldn't say it really means much, because schools like Georgia Tech and Boston College and Duke and Wake Forest are regularly passed over in the ACC for schools that they actually beat (well, not Duke, heh). So, GT could have good seasons, and some of the glitzier bowls will still select Clemson over them even if Clemson is 6-6.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend the Gailey hiring.
