Brian Gregory fired as head coach after 5 seasons at Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech has parted ways with coach Brian Gregory, the school announced Friday.

Gregory, 49, replaced Paul Hewitt in 2011 and did not take the Yellow Jackets to the NCAA tournament during his tenure. He was 76-86 overall and 27-61 in ACC play.

"At the end of the day the evaluation for me came down to what does the future look like,'' athletic director Mike Bobinski said. "Do we in fact have a clear path forward to greater success and higher levels of success in the years ahead, and my determination was, I didn't see it. I ultimately didn't see it and ultimately led me to the decision that we needed to make a change."

Georgia Tech finished 21-15 overall and 8-10 in the ACC this season. The team made the postseason for the first time in Gregory's five seasons, winning two games in the National Invitation Tournament before losing in the quarterfinals.
