RE: Karlgaard / AD Thread
The extension makes it where the next President will pick the next AD but should have done 2 year extension instead of 3.

I'm confused by the wording. A three year extension to June, 2024, implies to me his old contract ended in June, 2021.

I really can't imagine a situation where I could have become more disenchanted with an organization faster than I have with Rice.

RE: Karlgaard / AD Thread
Awful decision. We reward a guy who destroyed football, basketball, and baseball? Absolutely pathetic display by Rice. Not to mention, two months ago, Karlgaard was interviewing for other AD positions. I question his real commitment to Rice. He must not really want to be here if he has interviewed for other jobs. Why would Rice reward that? He's inept and looking to leave as soon as possible. No one else wants him!
I hope Rice sees bigtime improvement coming in our three biggest sports that I can't see at the moment.

Seems odd to announce this two months later. Or maybe I've just never noticed it before.

It was never formally announced. The only notification of it was Mark Berman's tweet last evening, with his interview of JK.

Easily, though I suspect that will take a bit of a hit this year with the drop-off with Women's basketball. However, I expect women's tennis to be stronger this year with the highly ranked new recruits.

I hope Rice sees bigtime improvement coming in our three biggest sports that I can't see at the moment.
Has men’s basketball really gotten worse under JK? The last AD made comments that at least gave an excuse for 2 of our better players to transfer to PAC programs and a bunch of other guys followed them out the door. Pera has an eye for recruiting talent and is finally keeping more of his guys on campus.
And while (from the outside) it looks like he handles the WG sunset seasons poorly and made a bit of a dud replacement hire for baseball, JK at least quickly moved to change directions and chose one of the (IMO) best options he could have with Cruz Jr.
Meanwhile, I think his biggest football blunder was Bailiff’s extension. I am still not sold on Bloomgren, but on paper he was the right kind of hire for Rice and Rice has at least had pretty solid defenses the past couple of years.
I am critical of the extension and would have preferred rolling the dice on new blood … but I also don’t think JK has been a failure. On a scale of 1-10, I would give him a 6 or 7. Rice is way behind the programs we want to be associated with, but that was the case when JK got to Rice. He hasn’t moved the ball forward much, maybe he has just stopped the freerall. But he has done well with the non-revenue sports, has run a clean department, and has basically tread water with the revenue sports (with some upside potential for all 3 in 2021-22). So I don’t love the extension, but this isn’t the end of Rice athletics. It just isn’t the potential dawn of a Rice athletics revival either.

well, in its defense, Rice didn't give $80 billion to Texas when the SWC disintegrated.

That's some good perspective. Hopefully things are about to turn around in the big three men's sports. He had never been an AD before, so there's the learning curve to consider. I'll accept him with open arms if football, basketball, and baseball have winning seasons this year. It's past time that all his efforts bear fruit. Perhaps the timing is right for him, but I'm growing very impatient with the lack of results.
