Yeah, I can’t wait to be mad at the next guy who doesn’t close the Math Department in order to fund an IPF. LOL

Did he do everything right? Of course not, but if he didn’t care, Hammond would still be our A.D. He took a shot that McGillis’ AAC contacts would get us in with them, and it nearly worked. When it didn’t and McGillis spun our wheels otherwise, McGillis was gone. Gilbert was a dud, there’s no polishing that turd, but now we have McClain and are TFO of CUSA, so he’s leaving us better off than he found us. He’s also the one who instigated putting artificial turf on the baseball field. There’s a post somewhere on this board with a link confirming that.

Some folks are still mad because he didn’t let a desperate coach hire an assistant who rained sh*t down upon us just by interviewing and hasn’t been touched by another college program since.
