He's just an enthusiastic, very aggressive, very dedicated, great coach. And he's a great fit for Rice. |
I desperately wanted the AD job in 1989 because things were really bleak. There were elements of despair and resignation ? a feeling that Rice simply could not compete at the Division I level in the Southwest Conference.

That's not a very good start, I'm afraid. This is a big day for me, an important day, one that when I started thinking about doing this and actually making this appearance, I began to get a little nervous about what's actually happening. Just maintaining your composure is not easy for me, but I'm going to forge forward. |
