College sports fans are a fickle group, ready to turn on you at the drop of a hat. CHan Gailey, Georgia Tech's football coach, has had to hear the calls for firing for yeas, and after all the scandals of the last week, those calls have been gaining strength (and backers with influence).

Then it all changed. Tech beat #3 Miami in Miami's home stadium, and suddenly Gailey is untouchable.

I've said, like many others, that it doesn't seem like Gailey will ever get our team better than medicore. With a huge road win over Auburn at the beginning of the season to complement the trouncing of Miami, Gailey has shown he can do it. I think he's also shown that he has the integrity to coach at a school with such high academic standards, something that's not easy to deal with.

I was wrong about Gailey, for now anyway. If they lsoe to Duke next year, people will want to fire him again. But for the present, Go Gailey, and Go Jackets!!!
