Rice tabs Texas State coach for football
The Chronicle's M.K. Bower notifies, with that extra clumsy prose that is his style, that Rice has a new football head coach:
In one tidy yet hectic week, Rice found a successor to Todd Graham.
Texas State coach David Bailiff will be introduced as the Owls' 18th football coach at 11 a.m. today.
Bailiff, 48, compiled a 21-15 record over three seasons (2004-06) at his alma mater, and he led the Bobcats to the Division I-AA semifinals in '05.
He spent the previous three seasons at TCU, serving as the Horned Frogs' defensive coordinator in 2002-03. TCU ranked first nationally in total defense in '02.
Did anybody see clips of this guy marching around on the sideline at Southwest Texas/Texas State?
He seems a little... guttural and rough around the edges, especially for an academically prestigious school like Rice. But maybe that's just how he is when he's on the field "coaching 'em up." I guess we'll see how he comes off in the television coverage of today's press conference.
