Radakovich Officially Introduced As Clemson AD

Radakovich boasts experience at major national programs like LSU, Georgia Tech.

Dan Radakovich has left his post as athletics director at Georgia Tech to take the same position at Clemson University.

Radakovich, who was one of 30 candidates to replace the retiring Terry Don Phillips, was introduced Monday as Clemson's AD, bringing a three-month search to an end, Clemson's official athletics web site confirmed. 

Radakovich has served as Georgia Tech's AD since 2006, following a five-year tenure as senior associate athletics director at Louisiana State University - a period when LSU won a national championship in football. He previously served as athletics director at American University and associate athletics director at the University of South Carolina.
