He attended no practices, ran to the elevators to be first in line without talking to team members, and wore a red and blue shirt to the game to show his support of Stanford. Once they were stuck in Fort Worth, he never addresses or reassured the team. He never thanked the administration of TCU for feeding our team or allowing us to use their facilities. He just rented a car and left the team behind. The leader of Rice athletics didn't lead and the players were not happy.

Sounds like he gave up on Bailiff and the team early on. Knowing coaches and admin buddy system, hiring Coach B has been in works quite awhile.

Or, this is potentially a 1-sired view of what happened. I have no idea, but seems crazy if true.

I would guess that it probably is very 1-sided. This is the kind of "woe is me" stuff that too many of our coaches and administrators have harped on in the past. It's pretty hard for a player to give his/her best if he/she is surrounded by coaches saying, "It's too tough. Nobody likes us."

I know a number of people on here have been quite critical of our Stanford connections. Question: If we were going to emulate someone, whom would you rather us emulate than Stanford? Cougar High?
