The 2008 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team will represent the Georgia Institute of Technology in the college football season of 2008-2009. The team's coach is former Navy Midshipmen and Georgia Southern Eagles coach Paul Johnson. It plays its home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Previous seasons

Georgia Tech continued its 11 year bowl streak under the coaching of Chan Gailey in 2007. Despite this accomplishment, Georgia Tech terminated Gailey the Monday following his sixth loss to archrival University of Georgia. No coach in Georgia Tech history had ever lost six straight to the Bulldogs before Gailey. Gailey failed to finish the season in the Top 25 all six of his head coaching seasons and posted a 12-12 record in November. Gailey's career ended at Georgia Tech with an overall record of 44-31.

Pre-season

Paul Johnson is the new head coach of the Yellow Jackets after posting a 45-29 record at the United States Naval Academy since 2002.[1] Johnson also recorded a 7-1 record in the Commander in Chief's Trophy against the Air Force Academy and U.S. Military Academy. The Georgia Tech offense returns two of the top four receivers in Greg Smith and Demaryius Thomas. The Tech defense returns defensive end phenom Michael Johnson and both of the primary interior lineman Darryl Richard and Vance Walker.
