Bailiff 16-21

Rhodes 15-22

Bailiff was not given any slack, at all, during his first 3 seasons, while our current AD overreacted in (allegedly) giving Rhodes a huge pay increase after season 1.

Not the same. Rhoades took over a depleted squad. How many scholarship players were left. Any? If so, how many had any experience. He had to build almost from scratch.

DB took over a team with a winning record, inheriting some of the best Rice players in the last 20 years, including Clement and Dillard. He had to continue the building process.

It is much much easier to maintain than to rebuild. Now we have to rebuild in football, but that is because DB (and arguably JK) let the program collapse.

Viewed from now, is our football program better off now than when DB took it over. I argue - far from it.

Is out basketball program in better shape now than when Rhoades took it over. Absolutely.

If you quibble over comparing after three years, was our football program better off after DB's third year than when he took it over, I would still say no. And I think many, if not most, would agree.

The team was better off in 2013 than when he took it over without a doubt. No player fatalities the year before. No players looking to get out. No rule breaking. More players going to play in the NFL. Conference championship. Two bowl wins under Bailiff. And the coach who recruited Clement and Dillard had been gone for over a year when Bailiff came in.

You can question the recruiting that has produced the current team, that's on the coaches too.
