Nathan has a solid take on things. And Scott gave his endorsement for the new guy before the announcement.
My favorite post on this topic came from GT blogger Dan at "What's the Good Word?" who proposed the following for Braine's retirement ceremony.
“In honor of the retirement of the venerable Dave Braine as Georgia Tech Athletic Director we are offering a family package on attendance for the retirement party. For just $40 dollars you will receive 4 tickets to the event, 4 cokes, 4 hot dogs, and a complimentary ‘Don’t Let the Door Hit Ya Where the Lord Split Ya’ t-shirt (distributed randomly in one of four completely different shades of gold.)Personally, I'm going to miss Dave "TicketMaster" Braine.
All indications are that this is a good hire for Tech. A qualified guy from a BCS conference with experience at winning programs. A much more qualified guy than Bill Curry. And a guy who's name I'll rarely spell properly.
They did well. As for Chan Gailey, you can pretty much put a stopwatch on his tenure at Tech from here on out. There is almost no way he serves out his five years.
