GT AD Mike Bobinski taking Purdue AD job

http://georgiatech.blog.ajc.com/2016/08/09/mike-bobinski-expected-to-tak...

Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke is stepping down from his position in June 2017. Bobinski was hired as Tech's athletic director in Jan. 2013, replacing Dan Radakovich. Perhaps the most notable event of his tenure was his decision to fire basketball coach Brian Gregory and hire coach Josh Pastner in April and May of this year.

He also oversaw the compilation of a strategic plan for the athletic department, a guiding document with a mission statement and objectives that was completed in June.

Bobinski's last appearance before media was on Tuesday at the football team's media day. As might be expected, Bobinski gave no indication of a planned departure, as he spoke with optimism about the football season and gave updates on various department matters.

This has been an interesting year of surprises with AD's moving around and taking surprise jobs. Does not bode well for ole Paul Johnson if they have another bad season.
