Athletic director?

Pretty clear Jim is done at the end of the season. He has earned a long leash but this season is the worst in 30 years and beyond embarrassing. J.D. was not his decision. If this season is another disaster he'll be fired.

Some excuse Rad as JD not being his decision as if that is not a massive illustration of the problem at hand.

Miami had the chance to hire Tom Jurich, a proven builder of successful athletics programs, and as usual, the BoT crapped the bed. First the meathead and then Rad.
 
In our history Paul Dee and Sam Jankovich were significant in picking coaches and directing our course. Baseball and football were great under them. Our basketball was just okay. Now with Dan Radacovich our baseball is not up to par, our basketball is incredibly bad and with lots of money our football is pedestrian. Our ROE on our investments is pathtic and doesn't most of that lie with the Athletic Director? All the accolades paid when he was hired seem not so significanr now. Is it time for a change at the top? Is there another Sam Jankovich out there that knows how to hire and fire and come up with a winning team from the top down? Maybe we are looking to closely at what is right in front of us and maybe we need to clean house. Seems Dan has been rather quiet as we sink into oblivion.
Credibility was immediately lost putting Paul Dee on a pedestal (a strong one, I hope). Football just went 10-2 with a Heisman finalist and hoops were fine until this season. Our AD is least of our worries.

If you guys are complaining about Dan Rad, keep in mind he was up against the dude at FAU that hired Willie. F$&@ing. Taggart.

Isn’t baseball at a huge disadvantage because of the scholly rules?
There is always some reason why, but we have always been at some level of disadvantage -- that does not excuse hiring JD from a failed staff when given a gift by Gino stepping out -- it was Manny Diaz 2.0

And JD then having one of the worst seasons in school history.

Tom Jurich is who we should have hired, but he said naughty words at his last job, so we passed.

And Rad owns baseball, too. He promoted off a twice failed staff.

Dan didn’t hire Coach L, & frankly Coach L is by far the best coach in Canes’ hoops history despite the lackluster 2 yrs. I’m not so sure how much power Dan actually has.

He didn’t hire Mario, he didn’t hire L, & by all reports, he had very little decision making for baseball. The only true hire was women hoops, & they r thriving.
Basically just a mascot?
 
Dan is a walking corpse, doesn't appear to do **** but collect his massively undeserved paycheck while vacationing working out of state.
