Rice just hired Wayne Grahams replacement

Hired Tenn Techs coach today. Seems like a good hire on paper but one would have thought they could have hired someone from a P5 school like a top assistant.

I guess the Lance Berkman thing fell through.

Yep....it was highly rumored that Andy Pettitte was going to be the pitching coach on his staff as well if he was hired. Maybe they missed a great recruiting opportunity.

I looked into this a bit more, and Berkman has some political leanings that don't really mesh with the way people at colleges think these days.

Probably couldn't afford his salary. The dude's check is well into Yum Brands Regional Manager territory.
