Overview
- The University of Miami, which announced the move Tuesday, said Vice President and athletic director Dan Radakovich will step down effective June 1, 2026.
- Deputy athletic directors Brian Baptiste and Rachelle Paul will serve as interim co-leaders reporting to President Joe Echevarria during the search.
- Under Radakovich, Miami reached the College Football Playoff title game, the men’s Final Four in 2023, and the women’s Elite Eight while the department matched a 94% Graduation Success Rate.
- Radakovich, 67, has led Miami athletics since December 2021 after previous AD stints at Clemson, Georgia Tech, and American, with earlier stops that included LSU and an initial stint at Miami in the 1980s.
- Local reporting has linked Roc Nation Sports CEO Michael Yormark to the opening, though the university has not confirmed any candidates.
