A new kind of coach
New Head Football Coach Todd Graham gets Rice (See story, page 1).
He has opened his practices and his office to students, pledged the team’s increased support of and involvement in the university at large and quickly refused to complain about Rice’s football facilities — saying he intends to earn enhancements, not demand them.
We are thrilled by Graham’s attitude and his willingness to jump into Rice. We think his energy and enthusiasm will be beneficial in recruiting and will lead to winning seasons. And we hope students will reward him with their attendance at games this fall.
Athletic Director Bobby May (Will Rice ‘65) and the search committee should also be commended for a clearly strong choice.
