Radakovich’s letter to fans
Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich sent this letter to fans on Thursday in The Good Word, the weekly email that goes to Tech fans. It’s also published on ramblinwreck.com. Here is the link: http://ramblinwreck.cstv.com/ot/geot-good-word.html
Here is the letter:
TO: Fans, Friends, and Supporters of Georgia Tech Athletics
FROM: Dan Radakovich, Georgia Tech Director of Athletics
This, Tech fans, is an important edition of The Good Word, so heads up!
You have all followed the story this week as Coach Hewitt was courted by a University in his home town, where he has had and continues to have many friends and close connections. It is a school that has solicited his services as head basketball coach before – it did in 2004 when Georgia Tech made a long-term commitment to Paul. As he did in 2004, Coach Hewitt today withdrew his name from consideration at that school. But this time the circumstances are much different, and I think some honest and thoughtful reflection on what has transpired needs to be done.
I am extremely happy that Paul, Dawnette and their girls have decided to stay here in Atlanta and continue to be a part of the Georgia Tech Family. For the moment, I ask you to put aside your emotions with Coach Hewitt and the program. Let’s consider where we are and where we are going. First, understand that no one person, be it a coach, an athletic director or even a president, is more important than the Institution known as Georgia Tech. Given that, doesn’t it make sense to keep Georgia Tech at the forefront of every conversation and every decision? That premise guides our lives here in the athletic program every day.
Six years ago, after being handed an appearance in the National Championship game by Coach Hewitt and his team, Georgia Tech made a commitment to arguably the hottest, brightest and most desirable head coach on the planet. Georgia Tech made that commitment. But at the same time, Paul Hewitt, who could have hand-picked many jobs along the way — including St. John’s — made the same commitment to our Institute. He absolutely wanted to be here at Tech and to make a commitment to the city of Atlanta.
For the last year or so I have read and heard all of the concerns and comments about our basketball program. All of them. Believe me. Some are valid, some are not. Drawing on my own experience and that of my administrative staff (Paul Griffin and Wayne Hogan alone bring more than 70 years in the business), and using the valid feedback that I receive from some of you on a daily basis, I periodically counsel Coach Hewitt as I do all of our 17 head coaches. My purpose in life is to do all I can to make Georgia Tech better in every area.
I am not oblivious that we now live in a world of instant gratification. The sports world has become all about “what have you done for me lately.” In a pro sports town like ours, it is not uncommon to read about multi-million dollar salaries, $100 million payrolls and coaches and athletes who come and go on a whim. When a program or team goes through trials and tribulations the first solution has become “fire the coach.” Certainly we work in a results-oriented business. However, in some cases the best course of action is to stay the course. Unfortunately, there is a feeling by some that change would solve everything. I say to that: Not always. Not now… and especially not in the light of Georgia Tech’s commitment to this man, his family and our basketball program.
In the case of Coach Hewitt and Georgia Tech basketball, we remain together because we are Georgia Tech. Coach Hewitt remains the same bright, desirable and coveted college basketball coach he was in 2004. If you have any doubt, just read the New York City newspapers from the past week. His credentials as a human being, a family man, a leader and builder of character are impeccable. The mission here is clear. We need to win more basketball games. We will continue to do everything within our power to do that — as an organization — with Paul Hewitt as our basketball coach. It is not a one-man mission. We are all committed to scour every inch of the program, suggest and effect the needed changes and to give the coach every ounce of support. This is what we do at Georgia Tech.
So now that we know the lay of the land, I am asking you as Georgia Tech alums, fans and supporters, to get with the program. My experience has been that when a Tech man finds himself in choppy waters, the Tech family rises to help. This is about Georgia Tech. It’s about commitment. And it’s about a part of the Tech heritage — our men’s basketball program. We must pull together and continue to support this program and Coach Hewitt. This is the Georgia Tech way!
Go Jackets!

Here’s a story that published in today’s AJC and has been online for a while: http://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/tech-fans-might-be-404264.html

Daniel Drummond, a freshman on Georgia Tech’s football team, has been ruled ineligible for at least the first 10 games of the 2010 season by the NCAA for violating eligibility rules.Tech declined to comment on the reason for the ruling.
A native of Flowery Branch, Drummond redshirted during the 2009 season. He is eligible to participate in practices but not games.
Drummond, 6-3, 253 pounds, was expected to compete for playing time at B-back. He rushed for 1,102 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior at Flowery Branch.

Instant gratification? What the hell? DRAD is the best thing that has happened to GT in years, and his hiring of CPJ, but sorry, you lost me on the instant gratification bs. The guy has had 10 full years. All but maybe 3 he has underachieved. Oh, but I am too impatient, I want instant gratification. Sounds like something someone would say talking down to their children. Hewitt is a loser in the ACC ,check the record. Worst record of any ACC team the past 5 years, and would be for the 10 years except due to expansion. But I want instant gratification. DRAD hasn’t been here 10 years, so maybe it just does not register with him, but I really think that statement was offensive. Now I realize that he is hamstrung to this braineless contract, but Hewitt is a loser with an attitude that this was “a great year”. Wish my employeer thought like this, of course my employeer would never give out a contact like Hewitt holds over GT. I love GT, but like a poster said above, I will not spend my hard earned money on this product until it changes. Either Hewitt starts producing or he is gone. It is sorry to have to do this, because the SA really do deserve our support, but that is the only way to send a message I quess.

“I’ll return to the games once Hewitt can string together at least 5 consecutive games with less than say 12 turnovers and no turnovers and/or wasted timeouts on inbound plays…”
Just a note;Hewitt doesn’t play, he coaches!
I agree that changes are in order. Give him time to address the asst coaches, and to get tougher on the players who do not perform. If you didn’t notice this year, Hewitt benched a player after he had a “stupid” moment. The unfortunate thing was that the replacement complemented the problem and had a “stupid” moment soon thereafter!
I also noticed when a player came off the floor, they, except for Lawal, never looked Hewitt in his eyes, a sign of a lack of respect? The colecting the cell phones before the ACC Tourney and the results should also provide a clue to another problem at Tech- lack of cohesion between players. Did you hear that- I think it was Cornell- that all the players lived in a house with the team managers….to get to know and COMMUNICATE with each other. Imagine that!
The proof is in the results form his “tweeking” his coaching and getting some new assistants that aren’t “yes men”;time will tell. I just hope that there are still fans in their seats.

i agree with 4jacks on taking offense to the instant gratification comment, however I don’t feel that we need to call Hewitt names for doing his job. As a previous season ticket holder for 5 years I decided not to renew this year. I also do not regret the decision. Hewitt has produced the exact same team for the past 3+ years. A team that turns the ball over, can’t in-bound the ball, but plays defense. His players leave early and he uses it as an excuse rather than blaming himself for recruiting the wrong type of players. His ability to adapt and improve is missing and that is why fans are upset. Why should fans continue to support this team when the adminsistration is quite content at letting him underperform? I will stick with football where CPJ is not sugar coating and making excuses for his team.

Nice letter, but…….
It is exactly what I would expect from him given his circumstances.
The part I have a bit of a problem with is looking at his record over time. Hewitt has been abysmal since getting his Golden Contract. I say, keep Hewitt, but get him to sign a reasonable contract with reasonable measurables, one that he can earn. Right now, the only pressure on Hewitt to perform is from himself and that just isn’t good enough. If he doesn’t perform, there are no real consequences, no remedies for GT.
So, I will continue to support the school and the student athletes by buying tix to games I want to go to, but no donations as I have a fundamental, ethical problem with Hewitt’s contract.
As for all those who say to give Hewitt time, why? He has had enough time. He is the CEO of this team, makes all the decisions and should, therefore feel all of the pressure for a lack of performance.
I just wish he would quit making excuses and bear some of the blame/responsibility.

I’m a season ticket holder and I’d like to continue to support the school and the players, but the truth is this type of basketball is no fun to watch. Who wants to watch 25 turnovers, pitiful free throw shooting, inability to inbound the ball (the last five minutes of the NC State game was some of the worst basketball I’ve ever seen), seemingly random substitutions, and inexplicable time outs? Frankly, it’s embarrassing at times.
I’m going to consider buying tickets again out of a sense of duty to the school, but I really don’t know if I can bring myself to write that check again.
Hewitt does seem like a good guy, (a little pompous for no apparent reason), but represents the school pretty well I guess. Why can’t he see and fix the problems that are so apparent to everyone that’s watched and supported Tech basketball for the last five years?
Bottom line Paul, shut-up and win more games.

Hewitt cannot win more games without serious changes in the assistant ranks. I think it will happen. Even without Favors and/or Lawal, I think Tech will be quite good next year.

Greetings Dawg Family,
I am happy to announce that UGA plans on playing men’s basketball at the Division I level in 2010-2011. We are excited about having a new sport at UGA. With your support this team can one day have a winning season…it may be decades from now, but we will get there. Still no word yet who our coach will be. It will probably be no worse than our fourth choice, we promise. Continue supporting mediocrity, Go Dawgs!

This letter was not honest, although I am sure it was thoughtfully considered for maximum effect. Radakovich is doing his job of making the best of a bad situation but I am rather insulted that he thinks so little of the Tech “family” that he does not level with us. The biggest lie here, and there are several, is characterizing Hewitt as a builder of character. The man doesn’t graduate players, doesn’t recruit true student-athletes, and displays an obvious bias that everyone sees but no one is willing to talk about. I don’t expect Radakovich to be openly critical of a man he is essentially chained to, but I don’t appreciate being lied to and pandered to in the name of keeping the “family” together. Shame on you, Radakovich, for neglecting the student-athletes in Hewitt’s program and for treating Tech fans like they were UGA fans. We will treat Hewitt with civility, but don’t expect us to embrace him just because you are willing to.

What does anyone expect D Rad to say. He has no choice but to try to make the best out of a situation he thought was going to take care of itself. I heard a guy on the radio yesterday say D Rad should make Hewitt’s new parking spot over at the Kroger on 10th Avenue. D Rad may not be able to fire Hewitt but he could make his life miserable. Hey Hewitt, the least you could do after putting Tech through all this for your personal pleasure is go to D Rad and restructure you contract and be a man. Your holding Tech hostage and you don’t even have to perform to keep you job. Put up or shut up. Tech alum don’t want you fired we just want you to perform! Either coach these kids up and so us improvement or pack your bags and go somewhere your wife agree to. Hey Hewitt, do you know where your wife hide both of them?

If by everyone saying he represents the school well they mean the lowest graduation rates in NCAA, then yes I concur completely.
If by saying he represents the school well they mean that his coaching is so terrible that non-biased TV announcers are basically mocking him and the school during the game …. then yes I agree.
We will soon see if the ship will change course, but to this point that wish has panned out maybe 3 out of 10 years (that is being generous), so I am not banking on it. I am having the sensation of deja vu. Is it February 2????

The person we need to be upset with is Dave Braine. He got us on probation for the only time in history,extended Chan Gailey’s contract and gave Coach Hewitt this contract. He was an assistant coach at one time at Tech and I think these were done to get even for being fired when that coaching staff was let go. Suposeedly he resigned due to health reasons. It’s too bad he didn’t die before he could do this to GA. Tech. When he finally does the right thing and dies I hope nobody in the Tech Community will say anything good about him because there is really nothing to to say about him.

Why I hate that Hewitt is staying:
His brand of basketball is difficult & painful to watch
We almost never win games we shouldn’t have the talent to win
We lose many games that the other team should not have the talent to win
We turn the ball over like a high school varsity girls team
The team never seems to consistently improve as the season progresses
In-bounding the ball should not cause me terror
Our offense is best described as a “clogged toilet”.
He wastes timeouts, and uses substitutions in a pattern without any thought for the flow or momentum of the game
He loses to UGAG waaaaaay too much
He has consistently been in the bottom half of the ACC, usually with a losing record in conf.
I could go on and on, but I will stop now.

DRad, if you want people to continue to support the basketball program, you should force CPH to make some changes. It is clear to anyone watching that he is a very good defensive coach, but he does not develop the players offensively. I don’t know if he needs to change some of his coaching personnel or what, but routine tasks such as free throw shooting and inbounds plays should not be an adventure like they are now. We do not run very many set plays or feed the ball to the post like most good teams do, and that is a result of poor coaching. Man up and force him to make changes and you will see an increase in fan support and hear a lot less negativity.

To DRad, you are correct sir. I did not mean to call Hewitt names. The point I was trying to make is that his attitude of this being “a great season”, is a losers mentality. It sounds like Braineless saying that we cannot expect to contend for conference championships. It is a mentality that has permeated this fine Institution because of Braine. DRAD, and his attitude and the hiring of Coach Paul Jonhnson and his attitude are turning the tables on this loser mentality that we have faced over the past decade. Coach Johnson has already put to rest that we cannot compete for conference championships in just 2 years in a sport that should take alot more time in building than basketball. Mr Hewitt, tells us we just had a great year, thinking we will buy it, and when questioned or pushed he just makes excuses. This to me is a losers mentality. I am sorry that I did not make that clear. However, I firmly beleive that the GT basketball SA’s, the fans and this fine Institution deseves better than what Mr. Hewitt has provided, and I like alot of other GT fans, are just tired and disgusted with Mr. Hewitt’s attitude that he has shown us over the past couple of months with his tweets and comments. If I had his losing record I would try to show a little humility and try to teach my players how to inbound the ball.

Duke shot more free throws than any other team in the acc and usually NC is second, and its crazy because they are a jump shot shooting team…in the ACC championship Singular shot more free throws than the whole GT team…..
Duke and NC are the only 2 teams to win an ACC regular season title since Maryland won their championship….
can anyone tell me who was the last big man to dominate the ACC?

I will answer it for u….No one…
The ACC refs do not allow big men to dominate..they call bad fouls on put them on the bench (Favors,Bosh) and u idiots say Hewitt cant coach offense..but how can Favors score when he is on the bench..
To make a long story short..CPH should have took the st johns job…He could have went to a conference where its about the players not the coaches…

Joe Paterno has only won 2 NC’s in all his years of coaching. Penn State should have fired his butt long ago.
Bobby Bowden only won 2 NC’s in all his years of coaching. FSU should have fired his butt long ago.
Steve Spurrier has not won an SEC championship in many years at So. Carolina, what a lousy coach he must be.
If you stick by a good coach, you will get good results every few years. College BB is tough to stay consistant with all the 1 and dones….Both Cremins and Hewitt have experienced this. With the 1 and out tournament, you don’t always win when you think you should ….Is Kansas firing their coach this year????
Hewitt knows where to go….he is filling the team with solid long term players and will bring in an all star to deliver the knock out punch. Depth is key and we have it now. If you bitch too much you will turn off the recruits, so now that CPH and DRad have decided, go with it….they know what to do if the results don’t show up soon.

I could not find the score of your NCAA tournment game, oh that’s right, UGAy missed it AGAIN! You guys are irrelevant.

For now, I will read into this letter and say that he is essentially asking us to be patient. Tough, but I believe that DRad knows what is best for the program. However, I think another thing you can possibly say is that DRad understands the anxiety of the fans, and that this may be Hewitt’s last shot. Miss the Big Dance this year, and I think DRad pulls the trigger on Hewitt and his contract, regardless of the ramnifications. Now, the only bone I have to pick is with GTville. What is the one constant with all the coaches you named? They are all College FOOTBALL coaches. First, that is like comparing apples to oranges. Second, how many winning seasons in conference did those coaches have? More than one in ten years, I assure you that. Spurrier is a horrid example anyways. I think USC should have canned him a long time ago.

The evaluation of this situation should be simple. If a potential coach were sitting before you and said that if you paid him $1.3 million per year with an automatic rollover clause in his contract, he would produce one winning season in conference play over the course of the next ten seasons, would you hire him?
The obvious answer is no.
If we wouldn’t hire him now with that promise for the next ten seasons, why are we continuing to employ him with that production over the past ten seasons?
We know what we have. We know it doesn’t work. The solution is to replace the coach, not tell the fan base that they should support a proven loser because he is part of the family. I have had season tickets since 1988 but I will not renew them next year.

Where do you start with this letter…?!! Nobody is suggesting that Paul Hewitt is a bad person or someone who can’t coach D1 basketball. He just has not gotten the job done for us at Georgia Tech (”instant gratification” is not how I would describe our patience over the past 6 or so years…). That’s life, and Paul Hewitt knows it. Bottom line: It was a tough management decision for an AD who inherited a bad contract and thought, for a moment, that the problem just might take care of itself. That didn’t happen. Eventually, he will have to face this situation head-on and make the tough decision that we alumni are paying him to make…
DRad is young… he will learn in a couple of years that he should have pulled the trigger this year (”Management 101″, frankly… don’t ignore a bad situation and let it fester… take care of it and move on…). In the meantime, we’ll keep watching… and waiting… and hoping… because, as DRad points out in his letter, “… this is what we do at Georgia Tech… it is the Georgia Tech way!”

We have one of the best ADs in the country. I’m going to do what he asks and support the team with my money. I am a life-long GT fan; not a UGA type of fan. The basketball program is going through a tough time, and it does not help to go through all of this carping about Hewitt now. So you don’t buy tickets/go to games/contribute to the Tech fund, that shows me you really don’t give a damn about the school. These are bad times – man-up and quit being spoiled UGA type of brats.. You are going to afffect facilities, recruiting, etc. and leave us without things we need to be competitive – that really speaks well of a yellow jacket fan to try and take down a program to get rid of a coach.

At heart I am a huge Dawg Fan in Football. Come fall my alliance changes and I pull for my Bee’s. Depending on the the time of the year in determines which set of my friends speak to me. My school I attended, KSU, has no football team and is not in the pwer house ACC in round ball. So with that background I speak of what I hear and see. The Tech Alumn and Fan base are not behind CPH. He underperformed in most everyone’s eyes with the likes of Lawal and Morris this season with expectations not delivered. That brings us to next year. If these tow go pro where will the program be under the leadership of CPH. He had a chance to go to St. John’s, welcomed and a new direction. A new direction to both St John’s and Tech. He choose to stay. The AjC did a survey and well over 50% when I inspected wished CPH had taken the St. Joh’s job. If your fans don’t support your coach how do you expect the players. Sorry, but I think it is a bunch of malarky about family and friendships in Atlanta. The people have spoken and you have defied them CPH. You made your bed now sleep in it.

Ok, DRad. Got it.
Just to make a suggestion: I’d love to see the Georgia Tech-caliber version of Cornell at our school.
Seniors, veterans- playing selfless, flowing, amazing basketball. Honestly, nobody minds the W/Ls so much when a team plays up to its expectations.
I hate one and dones. Junior year, fine. But Bosh, Marbury, Crittendons, Young- these guys are like fast food. A quick fix, but ultimately bad for you.
Please steer the program away from them.
You’re doing a great job, Drad- we love you here.

Anyone that buys a ticket to a GT basketball game next year is just plain stupid.
