[QUOTE="ESPNjacket, post: 443844, member: 2775"] I'm not sure what DRad did to win a national championship at Clemson but I'll bite. DRad, like most people, has certain things he does well and others not as well. He is good at major construction projects (McCamish is great) and the people who work for him generally like and respect him. He was not very good with budgets and fundraising. He completely mishandled the ridiculously simple NCAA investigation, which caused embarrassment to the Institute. This led to him being gently shoved out the door. Clemson was a good match for him as they were about to build a lot of things. He likes to extend contracts so Dabo and his assistants will be well paid, and deservedly so. Good luck with that strategy regarding other sports. Then again, maybe they don't care. DRad left behind a bad financial situation that he inherited and made worse. It led to GT hiring Sasquatch, who is a finance guy and hermit. It was really bad for fundraising. I understand Sasquatch did clean up finances in the department but I don't keep up with that personally. Sasquatch didn't understand our culture and didn't care to figure it out. Stansbury understands GT's quirky culture. He is 4 years ahead of other ADs from the start. GT is very cold to outsiders. It isn't something that is likely to change soon. [/QUOTE]
