During Gilbert's time (22 months) at Southern Miss:
* attended a really odd retreat type thingy
* had the stadium pressure washed
* stopped all freebie and charity tickets
* sent a bunch of really weird communications to the fan base


Since McClain got here in April (4.5 months):
* Jay Ladner hired as BB coach
* Spoon rehired as assistant
* The announcement of new turf for the Pete
* Travis Creel and Ladd Rhodes added to the baseball staff
* Continued support from KLLM providing the Southern Miss equipment tractor-trailer
* Brian Levin hired as softball coach
* Refillable Southern Miss mugs
* The band moved next to the student section
* A big increase in Southern Miss social media
* #30K5TIMES
* UNITE HATTIESBURG BUSINESS PACKAGE
* The announcement of the Family Fun Zone at the Rock
* A partnership with @INFLCR
* Ensuring that the Pride will be in Starkville
* The announcement of Eagle Club bus trips to Starkville, Tuscaloosa and Ruston
* Freshman pep rally and unfurling of a new banner
* New signage on the video board at the Rock
* New banners for Eagle Walk
* The announcement of beer and light wine sales in the Rock
* Lower concession prices
* Students will be able to purchase food in the stadium through the Grubhub App
* SEATZ App for purchases in the Rock
* More pressure washing at the Rock

I’m certainly more happy with McClain, but Gilbert also got the Adidas contract, new sound system at Rock, broke ground on new volleyball facility, and maybe started the beach volleyball team.
