FWIW - Lon's successor was fired at UNLV

[NMSooner'80]

Dave Rice got canned at UNLV yesterday. He was sort of a combination of Jeff Capel ("recruiter" who couldn't coach a lick) and Kliff "Kardashian" Kingsbury ("native son" who gets a pass for being an alum).

An article I read about it listed Steve Henson as someone that the Vegas media apparently likes as a successor.

I really hope Steve Henson sticks around.

He might be OU's next coach. Tough decision if it is offered.

Might be wise to get some head coaching experience on his own?

Sorry, but it won't be a tough decision. He'll take the job. Nothing will happen before April, so it won't have any impact on this year's team.

Henson will take the job if offered.

Dave Rice is a very good coach, just isn't a fit for UNLV.

In what way was he a bad fit?

(I might have to watch Twister again the next time it comes on TV just to enjoy Phillip Seymour Hoffman one more time.)
