It's Not Easy Being Chan Gailey

Given the problems that GT has experienced this offseason, I took the liberty of re-writing this Kermit the Frog childhood favorite as a gesture of empathy for Georgia Tech's embattled coach.

It's Not Easy Being Chan
Greetings, Chan Gailey here.
Today, I'd like to tell you a little about being Coach of Tech
Do you what a Chan is?
Well, I am for one thing.

It's not easy being Chan.
Having to spend each day herding the Nerds.
When I think it could be nicer being Richt, Groh or Retired
Or something much more better like that.

It's not easy being Chan.
It seems you fend off so many other unsuccessful things
And people tend to beat you over
'Cause you're not scoring touchdowns like flashy programs in the Durham, NC area
Or beating the Dawgs.

But Chan's the coach of Tech
And Chan can lead you to Boise or Fresno.
And Chan can be big like a bail of Weed
Or important like an Algebra test
Or tall like a Wookie.

When Chan is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why;
But why wonder why wonder
I am Chan, and I'll do fine
It's mediocre, and I think it's what I want to be.
