Number's boy.

As good a choice as any to spend the next 5 years complaining about.

I'd still take him, but I think that even with this he is still way outside Rice's price range. What he is good at is improving a defense with what talent is left over by an offensive guru head coach like Mike Leach or Lincoln Riley. He's not going to build a Georgia or Alabama defense because he is not going to get enough of the talent to build that kind of defense, at least not where he is working now.

The other guy that I like in a similar situation is Leach's current DC at Mississippi State, Zach Arnett. I think he may be a better DC than Grinch, and he runs a 3-3-5, which I think may be a better fit for what defenders Rice can recruit.
