Yes, that is a lot to digest, except Jones also oversees departments for sports information, broadcasting, sports technology and video operations, IMG College, LRG, M-Club ( Letter winners association) sports marketing department, digital marketing and creative services. So, basically, Jones has only a short window to chat on the podcast before catching his breath and continuing on. Jones covers the gamut in terms of different ways to attract fans to S. Mississippi as well as live the brand of the institution, and get most departments working together, instead of apart. Twitter: @BrentJones4'
