Can't see the article, but anyway:

Normally Clemson would be perceived as a step up from us, but these days you don't leave a Big 12 school for anyone in the ACC besides FSU, UNC, and maybe Duke. Not surprised Clemson interviewed him though. Their fans have been bitching about the school being too straight-laced and not providing enough support to athletics recently so if that's true he'd fit the Clemson leadership's desired profile while likely boosting their ability to raise funds.

-- Kansas State athletics director John Currie was prominently on Clemson's radar at one point, but we've been told he turned down the job in part because he signed an extension at Kansas State over the summer. We're not sure if Clemson made a second run at him and what became of it, if that indeed happened.

The Martin/Currie relationship didn't work because Currie is a huge dork who loves money. But that's a pretty great asset to have as an AD. He'll get shiny stuff built for us, but basically his entire long term legacy rests on if he can actually make a good football hire. If he can, he's a been a great AD for us.

To this point, Currie has been a B+ AD.  A+ AD who loses a full letter grade because of the Martin debacle.  Aside from that...
