HOUSTON (AP) - Longtime Rice coach Willis Wilson was fired Friday, two days after the Owls finished 3-27 overall and 0-16 in Conference USA.
"He has done a wonderful job with our student athletes and has given so much of himself to Rice. But after much thought, I came to the conclusion that it was best for everyone that we move in a new direction," athletic director Chris Del Conte said in a statement.
Del Conte said the Owls will begin a nationwide search for a replacement.
