han Gailey, a 33-year football coaching veteran including 17 seasons in the college ranks and 16 years in professional football, was named the C 11th head coach in Georgia Tech football history on Dec. 29, 2001. Gailey led Georgia Tech to nine victories in 2006, capped by the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division title and a berth in the 2007 Toyota Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day. Gailey has coached the Yellow Jackets to bowl games in each of his five seasons on the Flats, the only head coach in Georgia Tech’s storied history to do so. With Tech’s trip to the 2007 Toyota Gator Bowl, Gailey’s Yellow Jackets achieved a feat unprecedented in school history with their 10th consecutive bowl berth. Prior to its current streak, Tech’s longest bowl string was six in a row from 1951-56 under legendary head coach Bobby Dodd. Georgia Tech is one of just six schools in the nation to earn a bowl bid each of the last 10 years, an elite group that also includes Florida State, Virginia Tech, Florida, Georgia and Michigan. The Jackets recorded their 10th consecutive winning season–all with seven or more wins–for the school’s longest string since Tech had 18 straight winning seasons from 1908-25 under John Heisman and William Alexander. The Rambling Wreck also posted a conference record of .500 or better for the 12th consecutive year, a feat unmatched by any ACC school and achieved by only three other schools in the nation. In addition to earning five bowl berths in five seasons as Tech’s head coach, Gailey won a collegiate national title at Troy State in 1984 and coached in four Super Bowls as an assistant in the National Football League. Tech's five straight winning seasons follow eight consecutive years of .500 or better as a head coach or assistant in the NFL for Gailey, with his teams earning a collegiate bowl bid or an NFL playoff berth each year since 1994. Tech’s nine victories in 2006, which came against a slate that included nine bowl teams, are its most since 2000, and the Jackets’ seven ACC wins equal the best mark in school history. One of the highights of the 2006 season was a 38-27 victory at 10th-ranked Virginia Tech. That win gives the Jackets seven wins against ranked teams in Gailey’s five seasons, with six of the victories coming on the road, including wins at Auburn and at Miami in 2005. Georgia Tech has defeated at least one nationally-ranked team each of the last 12 years. The Tech offense boasted one of the nation’s most talented players in junior wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the Biletnikoff Award winner, a first- team all-America for the second time and the ACC Player of the Year. Punter Durant Brooks was also a finalist for a national award, the Ray Guy Award, and earned second-team all-America honors, as did linebacker Philip Wheeler. Johnson headlined a contingent of 10 Yellow Jackets who earned all- ACC recognition, including first-team honorees Brooks, Joe Anoai and Jamal interceptions with 21 and turnover margin. Lewis, and second-team selections Tashard Choice, Adamm Oliver and Philip Gailey’s 2004 Yellow Jackets posted a record of 7-5 overall and 4-4 in Wheeler.

RETIRED JERSEY #19 Clint Castleberry, RB Lettered 1942, Killed in World War II The only retired jersey in Georgia Tech's storied football history is the No. 19 worn by running back Clint Castleberry in 1942. Though just a freshman, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting as he led Tech to a 9-2 record, highlighted by historic victories at Notre Dame and Navy and capped by a berth in the Cotton Bowl. Just weeks later, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and on Nov. 7, 1944, his plane disappeared. For one fleeting season in 1942, Clint Castleberry blazed across the football field like a ‘crazed jackrabbit.’ Some said he could have been the greatest Tech player in history, if it weren’t for World War II and a plane that disappeared off the West African coast without a trace. JOE HAMILTON, the consensus first-team all-America quarterback in 1999, signs He flashed across the fields at Notre Dame and Navy that fall of ’42, autographs at the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
