What I see with respect to the football program is a head football coach who is not capable of providing the leadership and direction that Rice needs. It appears that the football coaching staff has lost trust and confidence in the players and the players have lost trust and confidence in the coaching staff. In that situation, I believe it is absolutely imperative that the head football coach be replaced no later that the conclusion of this season.
At this point, if David Bailiff is continued as head coach of football past the final game of the current season, at Stanford, then I intend to withdraw my financial support of Rice athletics until the situation is rectified.
Rice athletics or just football?
Let it be athletics for now.
Better answer: Fire Bailiff, and then it doesn't matter.
