New OC announced on

I had an evil plan to watch the Texas bowl on espn 360 replay to get a look at Rice, and then i remember the damn thing was on NFL Network.

Now the NFL network is even screwing over those of us who that dang channel!
 
Will he bring in an offense that will take a year or 2 to learn? Will be tough and interesting to see how well AA and Co can adapt over the off season into next season.
 
Arnuad is going to have a d*** good year, i can just see it...With this offense coming in oh myyyy Rhoads is going to let him air it out.
 
Do we know which commits he brought to Rice for next season? Any chance they might head our way?

I have no information with regard to the committed players, but according to Rice.Scout.com, there are at least three players that both Rice and ISU were recruiting for 2009.

3 star QB Kenneth Guiton
2 star OG Hunter Hogan
2 star QB Shane Ros

Go Cyclones :yes:

Oh, by the way, that Jamie Pollard is some kind of rascal, isn't he? Going for the Sunday paper announcement again! Way to go, Jamie.

I hope everyone on the board got to see Rice in their bowl game.....this offense has the chance to be the great 'equalizer'.

hopefully we can get a little D.


Don't worry. Ditka is interested. He is getting tired of dressing up for the booth.
 
I asked a Rice fan about Herman on another college football board. Here is what he had to say:

Dude is a very hard worker and, no joke, is a member of Mensa. Worked under Brown at Texas and was under Randelman at Sam Houston for their two long playoff runs. Then with Bailiff at Texas State and Rice. He just directed a 10 win season at RICE. We have run the spread for the past 5 years. Our graduating QB and WR have combined for more TD passes/catches than any duo in CFB. If it can work at RICE with "our" athletes, it should work well in the Big XII. Think a combo of Texas and Mizzu with a little Tech sprinkled in.

I think he is a great OC and I am sad to see him go. No one will out work him, and he calls a very smart game. Not sure how recruiting will go since most have not heard of him.

Wish we still had him.

I'm officially starting the campaign to get this man running our defense right here:

East Carolina Official Athletic Site

I would be excited about this hire as well. We certainly could afford him. I am reluctant to give 100% support because he has not faced too many teams that run a spread offense, and the majority of the Big XII offenses are running a spread of some form or another. That being said, he has a lot of experience. Iowa ties? Paul Rhoads ties?

Go Cyclones:yes:

are we having talks with him?
 
Can Bo catch the ball? If he can he will see plenty of touches. He can't go to Auburn or any other SEC school anyway. I talked to an SEC buddy (who happens to be a recruiting coordinator) about it and apparently there is an SEC rule that even though he was gone a year he can not play at any other SEC school. He would also have a VERY hard time getting to ANY D1 school if he transferred...
