He also jumps out of the lowest valley of his career: a 6-27 record, including a 2-20 SWC mark and a current 18- game losing streak, the longest in major college football. Berndt left town without com- mentary, allowing the Houston media and local Rice fans, both knowledgeable ones and those who can hardly find South Main on a map, to speculate about the reasons sur- rounding his decision. There was KELLOGG talk, some of which has damaged Rice athletics both in the eyes of recruits and in the community, of Berndt's desire for a guaranteed contract extension (which he clearly did not deserve and which he could not get President George Rupp to agree to). There was talk that the health of the SWC discouraged Berndt, that he did not want to deal with Rupp's slashing the 1989-90 budget of an athletic department that already loses more than $1 million Opportunities annually, and that he became frus- trated over Rice's stringent aca- demic standards. Additionally, some of the players had become disillusioned (to the for Engineers point that they were openly criticize his methods) with his conservative, disciplinarian style of coaching.
