The Roost Podcast | Ep 194 – Mike Bloomgren Era Rice Football Post Mortem

December 13, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

The dust has finally settled on the 2024 Rice Football season and the Mike Bloomgren era. What went wrong and where does this program stand going forward?

A 2024 Rice Football season which began with high expectations ended in a coaching change. Things weren’t supposed to go this way, yet here we are. On this week’s show we debrief the year that was, how we missed the oncoming iceberg and try to ascertain how so many of us were so wrong about where this team was heading, both this season and over the last seven years under head coach Mike Bloomgren.

You can find previous episodes on the podcast page. For now, give a listen to Episode 194.
