from DMN:

North Texas receivers coach Rick Gailey is leaving to become an assistant at Liberty Christian, his alma mater. Gailey spent six seasons at UNT and worked as the receivers coach the last two years.

College assistant to high school assistant? What is going on?

[GreenBat]

Probably making more money at LIberty Christian.

Probably left for a more respected conference affiliation.

Probably left because he is still a newlywed (2 1/2 years), has a baby (5 mos. old) and high school coaching hours don't include 2 months on the road gone 5 days a week or working 16 hour days during the football season 7 days a week.

Maybe sees the hand writing on the wall for next season and would rather take a job now instead of look for one in December.

Give me a freakin' break. If he's that big of a poon we don't need him as a coach.

What kind of assinine statement is that? While he might be able to live with those kind of hours, his wife may not.

Pretty good if he can find a truck stop with some decent strip poker machines. Because putting in the hours of being a trucker is what a real man does! Family? Who needs em? Friends? Whats that? AM radio talk shows are the only company a real man needs!

Since when? High school coaches DO put in those kind of hours during the season. Granted they don't have to travel for recruiting, but then again most assistants also have to coach a second sport during the off season.

perfect time to give K-Mart a second chance...

I think this article will shed some light on why he is leaving:

Then again, I found this quote interesting:

“It’s a great move for me and my family,” Gailey said. “It will be a good opportunity to work with people I enjoy and respect.”

Bad vibes brewing!
