[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 71054, member: 572"] Braine was an idiot? Sure, I can agree with that. What did DRad do to turn around the idiocy and did you "demand excellence" while he was here? I certainly agree that we should compete with Clemson on many levels and certainly exceed them on multiple fronts, but I interpret the "falling up" statement as him moving on to a situation with more resources and fewer barriers for achieving athletic objectives. He did so after building several great facilities (by tacking on plenty of debt), presiding over the downfall of the hoops program because he treated it like some sort of stepchild, and failing to fundraise the cost of buyouts for poorly performing coaches leaving us with an apathetic fanbase and uncompetitive financial position. Helped create a mess and moved on to greener pastures... sounds like falling up to me. As much of a disappointment & embarassment as this is to be on probation for longer, we're paying the price now for the actions under DRad's time in charge. "We" includes the fans, alumni, student-athletes, coaches, and CURRENT administrative staff. Not DRad. I'm all for demanding excellence. Are you ready to have the patience for the new administration to implement a plan to achieve that goal? I'll stand with you to demand excellence, if you've got the patience for it to arrive. [/QUOTE]
