[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 95490, member: 56"] It's pretty simple why not. Many people have bought into the fallacy that Radakovich was a bad AD for us. But while he wasn't perfect, he did an admirable job for Tech. He inherited a financial dumpster fire in the GTAA from Dave Braine. If you will recall, we were saddled with two horrible contracts for Hewitt and Gailey, one of which we still have two more years to pay on. The facilities had fallen into disrepair and needed to be upgraded and our debt structure was becoming burdensome. Dan chose to invest heavily in facilities and infrastructure and try to restructure long-term debt before investing heavily in increased recruiting budgets. I had a few discussions with him about his long-term plans and he said many times that he intended to invest in increased recruiting budgets when it made financial sense. In the end, I don't think DRad was our best AD ever but he certainly wasn't our worst one either. As a matter of fact, his financial decisions and the moves he made are part of the reason why MBob was able to expand the recruiting staff. Because we are in a better financial state right now than we were when Radakovich took over. [/QUOTE]
