Dave Braine Comments on Expectations for Chan Gailey

Dave Braine does have expectations for an improved win total next season - story here:

Tech athletics director Dave Braine says Gailey will remain the Yellow Jackets' coach. But Braine also said Gailey must improve on this season's 6-5 record in 2005. To go 7-4 or better, Tech would have to win at least one of the following games: at Auburn, at Miami, at Virginia Tech, at Virginia or against Georgia.
Coach Gailey also comments of the Notre Dame situation:
Asked if 7-4 or better is a reasonable standard for his fourth season, Gailey said it's up to others to decide.

But he would share an opinion on the firings of Willingham and Zook.

"I think it's just a product of our society today. We're a society of instant gratification and a product of instant success," Gailey said. "A ton of the old great coaches that ended up having successful programs would have never made it today because they would have been fired before they got things organized and set up."
