USM Introduction of New AD

Anyone watch it? Thoughts? I feel like I have seen John Cox introduce several AD’s with his signature start of, “Southern Miss, TTT!”.

That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this guy.

Hell, I’d be ecstatic if we could rise up to being the tallest midget.

He also played five years of "professional baseball."

1999    23    Lowell Spinners    New York-Pennsylvania League  A-       
2000    24    Jackson Diamond Cats    Texas-Louisiana League   Ind               
2001    25    San Angelo Colts    Texas-Louisiana League       Ind               
2002    26    Jackson Senators    Central League                       Ind               
2003    27    Jackson Senators    Central League                       Ind   

Pretty sure I saw him with the 2003 Senators vs. the Black Sox in Palmers.

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

Cox is a buzzing invertibrate. At the end AD’s use of this curse was less than enthusiastic, think he knows it stinks.

Re: USM Introduction of New AD

I’m good with the baby steps.  If his vision is to be a top G5 school, it’s a higher bar than Billy McG and certainly Camper John.  There was the usual fluff in there but I caught a few other snippets of info that tells me he is far better than what I thought we would end up with.  I appreciate that Bennett apparently sees USM as a great job by hiring guys with “experience” and $ec lineage but this guy does have a resume of working with shit and making a difference.  Troy has made some noise the last few years and he obviously had a big hand in that.

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.

You ever heard of a McVarnell?

Re: USM Introduction of New AD

I've been wanting him as our next AD since he got here. I think he'll do a good job.
