Bill McGillis vividly recalls one of his primary bullet points from his introduction as athletic director at Southern Miss in July 2013.
“I referenced winning with people,” he said.
Now, as he transitions out of that office after formally accepting a similar position at the University of San Diego more than three weeks ago, McGillis is confident he accomplished that.
“Whatever progress has been made, that’s how we did it,” he said. “Collectively.”
Officially, McGillis has one week left at Southern Miss before taking over as athletic director and associate vice president at San Diego.
