dynasty and winning championships. Boy are they going to be disappointed by the time that they figure it out but he probably will be able to boost attendance to over 200 fans per game. lol

Maybe the Cristobal hire that he had nothing to do with will finally bring Miami BACK, baby! and he can ride those coattails for several years until his next gig.

Look at the job Mike young has done at VT. I don’t think Brad had defeated him yet and will probably lose to him again this year

Terry Don hired Dabo. DRad just kept the checkbook open for assistants.

what, exactly, do you think he did for our football program since you are confident he certainly did something? Dabo had already completely changed the trajectory of the program prior to his arrival. Clemson had not won the division since its creation. Clemson had not won 10 games since 1990. Clemson hadn't won a title since 1991. Dabo broke those streaks in his first and third seasons before DRad stepped foot on campus. So, unless you're counting not deliberately obstructing the most successful coach at Clemson as doing something, what involvement specifically did he have? Even the facility upgrades for football were approved, financed, and begun before he actually stepped foot on campus.

You stated the obvious. I feel the same. I would add that many boosters and fans congtributed $MM to make it happen. Tiger Nation will not miss a beat under Graham Neff (when announced).

He did something, the baseball program was going to upgrade much larger than it did Jack Leggett even gave 150,000 of his own money. Rad cut the budget in half, and didn’t build it the way it was supposed to be built.

He got buildings built and facilities upgraded, but Clemson was willing to spend the $$ and ok fundraising with that purpose in mind. The U puts money in their pockets, not in buildings and facilities around town, and that fact is why football and all athletics are near the bottom of priority in actual practice. They talk the talk but absolutely positively do not walk the walk. They may change as soon as D rad lands, but more likely we start hearing things aren’t so good pretty soon and he leaves for a position in the ACC. Fans down there are as clueless as ever.

Looks like this link that DRad will have more power at Miami as also Vice President and the AD. Maybe won't have to go to the BOT as much.
Can anyone confirm that when Brad Brownell was closest to being let go was the first round loss to Oakland in the NIT 5 years ago, was it a DRad decision or BOT decision to retain him?

Boosting attendance by doing what? Converting the upper deck of Hard Rock Stadium to indoor club seating

Our Bball never got better, baseball stayed the same, he did bring softball which was cool. His biggest accomplishment was not impeding our Football teams progress.
