1)Remove interim tag from Mitchell as AD. Use your “Listening” Tour to formally introduce Mitchell to the USM base. Stop trying to punk the alumni with this hire process and lets move forward starting today. Perception is reality so get on with it and stop insulting your alumni base.
2)You have a spot open on the 2020 schedule still unfilled. Pay money to get a P5 school to come to Hattiesburg or you will have two consecutive seasons with only 5 home games. It can be anyone in the P5. Call Syracuse……call Northwestern…call South Carolina…….hell call Air Force or Army from the G5. That’s about all that’s left that has a spot to fill in 2020. Get it inked and let Mitchell announce it at his new AD presser if it’s a P5 school.
3)Announce the resignations of Doc and Joye by March. Trim your current combined salaries of $525K to $375K. Hire young, hungry, proven coaches from smaller programs until renovation construction commences on RGC. Pointless to pay over $500K when you haven’t made real progress on the facility in decades.
4)Get Hop to announce Scotty Walden as OC and a new contract for Tim Billings.
5)Get Hop and Scotty to announce Jaden Johnson as the starter prior to the spring game. Develop one QB this offseason as “the guy” with Abraham and Whatley fighting over backup.
6)Marketing: Someone get an athletic campaign going with Nick Mullens, Todd Monken, Tori Bowie and Brian Dozier. Have it ready to run during EagleFest.
7)Schedule a presser with Jimmy Buffett during EagleFest where you announce the construction of The Margaritaville Club on top of the South Endzone. Season passes will cost $150 per person, capped at 2,500 passes. The passes include game access and two drinks per game.
