Dave Rice's time as coach at UNLV ended last night. However, he left his own mark on the Runnin' Rebel program, one that most Rebel fans should take as a positive.
Five years under Dave Rice's leadership was sufficient for the powers that be at UNLV. UNLV and Rice parted ways less than 24 hours ago. Rice's time as coach was a hopeful ride that always had Rebel fans looking forward to the next season, then the next, and the next... but Rice never was able to fully deliver on his promises to the hometown crowd in Sin City.
