Reportedly Matt interviewed last Friday with Rice. Would be a great pickup for the Owls, though Wayne leaves big shoes for Matt to fill.

Yep. Would be a great job if he can get it.

He has been back for a second interview. Good luck to him.

I almost think he should hold out for a P5 job but Rice is probably the best non-P5 job out there. I don't know. I wish him the best.

I wish Matt all the best and I hope he makes the correct decision for his future... I am not totally sold on the Rice AD....

Joe Kaarlgard, Rice's AD, is definitely on the hot seat. Regardless, this would be a great move for Matt based on facilities, reputation of school and baseball program, and Houston area as a recruiting ground.

Matt ranked 3rd best coach in college baseball under 40 yrs old.

3. MATT RISER
Southeastern Louisiana (Age: 34)

Riser was the youngest Division I coach in the country for the first couple years of his tenure at Southeastern and, at 34, he’s still among the youngest. Under Riser, the Lions have become one of the Southland Conference’s most consistent teams, and he has led them to three NCAA Tournament appearances in five seasons. Southeastern’s worst finish in the Southland under Riser is fifth in 2014, his first season, and the Lions still won the conference tournament to advance to regionals. Riser’s .654 winning percentage ranks fourth in conference history.

We should look for him after the season.
