Yes the timing could also be luck but it could also be reinvigorated coaches with a new boss new budgets? It’s just interesting how the three major sports have taken off!

He was a cancer groomed by another cancer. Anybody that has ever met Blake James and spent time with the guy, knows he is a smug ******* in way over his **** head. I don’t believe it’s any coincidence that as soon as he was gutted we see positive movement within the athletic department. It wasn’t his fault he was given the job but man his personality/charisma/attitude did nothing to give him the benefit of doubt that he was in over his head

Biggest thing was he had no vision. That’s unacceptable from an AD

Just had this conversation with a buddy on Sunday. There is something to be said about optimism that trickles down to coaches, staff, and players. There is actually hope. Also, a lot to prove for the coaches any time a new AD comes in.

I’m sure Rad has had many meetings with people that discussed how UM was doing things where he said ‘I’m sorry can you repeat that for me’

He took all of 5 hours to hire a coach after Richt retired, enough said.

Silly and a massive stretch.

Clemson baseball and basketball were dog**** under Rad the last few years.

doesn't mean he didn't sit down and listen. And have a direction for athletics. Blake James had no vision and did not have the chops to demand more/better for his coaches and the athletic department as a whole- I've never publicly criticized either him or Manny but you cannot ignore the obvious.

The times I spoke to him, I felt like it was shake down. Tremendous sapingo.

The current success of the basketball program and the baseball program have absolutely nothing to do with either the old Athletic Director or the new Athletic Director.

This is just false correlation nonsense.

Just for the record, I’ve been advocating for Blake James’ firing for four years or probably longer, and I think the choice of Rad is a perfect choice at this time, mainly because of what he’s going to do for improving the infrastructure and direction of the program.

Anyone that follows the basketball or baseball program closely, knows the major factors for success during this time. None of it has anything to do with the Athletic Director.

Thanks for posting this so I didn't have to.

Not a fan of Blake but he didn’t have nearly as much money to work with as the program now has…

Sure, but how much of that was because of his complacency? There's the infamous story of a big donor (forget who exactly) asking him if he had an unlimited budget what would be he do with it? His answer was "maybe an analysts or two and some slight upgrades to the locker room." He was asked a second time to think bigger and he restated the same thing. That alone speaks volumes to his vision or lack thereof.
