Well, they haven't gone 2-14, and then missed the conference tournament, in the last two years.

Obviously Bragga sucked as a coach. I don't think anyone is arguing that.

I think Bragga is a good coach, but not at Rice. I think he is going to be a wonderful coach at a state school, even more so if it is a smaller state school. That structure might fit him to a tee.

I have a very good friend (and partner in a business venture) who was a Div 1 baseball coach at a West Coast school. He knew Bragga and said he was a very good coach --- but with a certain type of program. He told me at the outset that Bragga would plant at Rice. We had a number of deep discussions on the subject, and based on that, I think Bragga will be a very good coach at an institution that fits.

Lets be honest, an institution like ULL would be a perfect fit for Bragga, and in that type of environment I think he would thrive. But, the differences between Middle tennessee (?) where Bragga came from, or ULL, and Rice are pretty much the difference between night and day.

Quote:My point is that I don't think we should hold up UTSA as a program that we should aspire to match. If Hallmark wasn't a Rice alum and former coach, we wouldn't be talking about him.

Agreed. That may change in two or three years with a real record at UTSA behind him, though.
