Friedgen was the OC for Bobby Ross at Maryland. Developed guys like Boomer Esiason and Frank Riech.

Then he went with Ross to GT and helped turn an awful GT team into a national championship squad, and nobody could stop the GT offense that year. He put 45 points on Nebraska when teams didn't do that to Nebraska, and he did it with a squad full of guys that couldn't have gotten a scholarship to Nebraska.

Then Friedgen went to SD as OC with Ross, and helped the Chargers make the Super Bowl with Stan Humphries as QB.

Then he came back to Tech to be the OC for George O'Leary, and made a guy who nobody wanted to let play QB, Joe Hamilton, into a Heisman trophy candidate.

Then he turned George Godsey, a guy whose arm makes Matt Ryan's look like a cannon, into a complete stud.

Then he went to Maryland as head coach, won the ACC in his first season and went to the Orange Bowl.

Then he got fired after winning coach of the last year when his team went 9-4.

They went 2-10 this year. Probably a little bit of regret on Maryland's part there.

That's about it.
