I don’t want to say that I’ve been waiting for this very day for six years, but, well, I’ve been waiting for this day for six years. Chan Gailey, who has single-handedly ruined Georgia Tech for the better part of a decade, has been axed and will no longer be the head coach at Georgia Tech.

Not many people outside of Atlanta will care about this — I’m a Tech fan, but I’m not blind; Georgia Tech isn’t exactly the most prestigious joint in the world to coach at — but I will definitely take full advantage of enjoying every moment of the new-hiring process that takes place.

Possible candidates? Well, the list goes on. And until it’s narrowed to a few candidates and they’re actually spoken with, I won’t even begin to speculate. However, I will throw this out there: There’s a rumor floating around Georgia right now that Tech’s AD flew out to Columbia, South Carolina today to visit with a certain Ol’ Ball Coach who is from Georgia, has said he’d like to coach in teh state of Georgia, and currently had one of his worst seasons in recent memory.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
