What’s up with our infatuation with Irish names in the AD job? McClellan, McGillis and now McClain.
You ever heard of a McVarnell?
]]>Hell, just the fact that early on he said critical twice in the same sentence about USM and where athletics are prove that he knows what he is in for. McG saw the job as “I’m the AD and I can’t wait to get my family and my tall ass GF in town”. Gilbert cried and went back to TN to reflect upon the endeavors ahead such as writing emails about camping trips and his boy crush on Tom Cruise. I like that McClain mentioned Hammond and said some things about making a lot of changes and turning over every stone looking for a difference. I’m hopeful that means making the people on staff at the Athletic Department show up every day to work and that he’ll use a different approach than the General used.
I haven’t been very hopeful in recent years about our situation but I think this guy might be able to get some things done. We’ll know soon enough.
And finally, what’s up with our infatuation with Irish names in the AD job? McClellan, McGillis and now McClain.
]]>Anyone watch it? Thoughts? I feel like I have seen John Cox introduce several AD’s with his signature start of, “Southern Miss, TTT!”.
Cox is a buzzing invertibrate. At the end AD’s use of this curse was less than enthusiastic, think he knows it stinks.

Agreed. Not sure you get there by declaring that to be your end goal, though.
