Weak ACC football schools fire their coaches

Want to make a Dallas Cowboys fan scream like he's just got a note from the IRS asking for his financial records? Say the name Chan Gailey to him, preferably when he's drinking. You'll get the whole beer through the nose routine if you time it right.
Oh, they won more than they lost in the two years he was there, but they lost in the first round of the playoffs both years. At Georgia Tech, they didn't even have that kind of success, and after six years of watching other teams get fat BCS paydays, they fired Chan before he could finish his Egg McMuffin today.
The school is on the hook for $4 million unless they can show cause for firing the coach, meaning unless the AD has pictures of Chan and the Yellowjacket mascot doing strange things with the stinger, he's getting a nice check for his Christmas shopping.
Duke's AD wasn't nearly as vicious as Tech's was in firing Duke's coach...
"Whenever you make a change, it's difficult," Duke athletics director Joe Alleva said as he announced the move this afternoon.I wonder if he managed that with a straight face. You have to know these schools are looking at Missouri, not exactly known for being a football powerhouse, being in position to play the BCS Championship game and pull down some serious green, and they're wondering why the hell their dumbass coach can't get them into that game.
"It's really difficult when you have a man like Ted Roof, who exemplifies all the values and integrity that you want in a head coach."
Values and integrity don't mean crap when it means your school won't even be in the Weedwhacker Bowl, let alone the BCS.
Of course Missouri's going to choke against Oklahoma and put Ohio State in the 1 or 2 spot. Ohio State versus West Virginia, yeah, I know everyone can't wait for that game to happen.
