For his efforts, Bailiff was honored by his conference peers with his first Conference USA Coach of the Year honor. Bailiff came to Rice after three seasons as the head coach at Texas State University in San Mar- cos where he posted a 21-15 record while leading the Bobcats to their first Southland Conference 19 GAME 11 at OLD DOMINION championship and the semifinals of the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs in 2005. He produced a total of 14 All Southland Conference first team selections, and 13 players who were named to the academic all-conference squad in his last two years. The 2005 season was truly a magical one. The Bobcats went 9-2 during the regular season and earned the school’s first berth in the Division I-AA playoffs. In their first game, the Bobcats stormed back from a 35-16 deficit against Division I-AA national power Georgia Southern to score 34 unanswered points and beat the Eagles 50-35. The Cats then defeated Cal Poly 14-7 to move on to the national semifinals. Only a 40-37 overtime loss to Northern Iowa stood between Texas State and an appearance in the Division I-AA title game. Bailiff was named the American Football Coaches Association’s Region 5 Coach of the Year and finished third in the voting for the Eddie Robinson Award presented annually to the top coach in Division I-AA. Prior to being named Texas State head coach, Bailiff spent three seasons on the staff at TCU. He served as the Horned Frogs’ defensive coordinator in both 2002 and 2003 while working with the team’s defensive linemen. The 2003 Horned Frogs posted an 11-2 record and were ranked 25th in the final Associated Press writer’s poll and 24th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Bailiff was part of a staff which built a tradition on defense at TCU. During his three seasons in Fort Worth, the Horned Frogs were ranked 24th, 1st and 38th in the country in total defense and 10th, first and ninth against the run. In 2002, TCU allowed just 240.2 yards of total offense per game which led the country. The Horned Frogs surrendered an average 64.8 yards on the ground. During the year, the Frogs held Tulane to a school-record -53 yards rushing. TCU also ranked second in the country in pass efficiency defense, allowing opponents to complete less than 39 percent of their passes. Six TCU defensive players earned all-conference accolades in 2002 including Conference USA Defensive Player of the year and Second-Team All-American LaMarcus MacDonald. While at TCU, the Horned Frogs played in a bowl game every season - the galleryfurniture.com Bowl (2001), AXA Liberty Bowl (2002) and the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl (2003). He began his coaching career as the defensive line coach at New Braunfels High School (1982-84). He went into private business from 1984-88 before returning to the coaching ranks as a defensive graduate assistant coach at Texas State in 1988. He was elevated to the Bobcats’ defensive line coach in 1989. Bailiff left Texas State in 1992 for an assistant coaching position at New Mexico. He returned to Texas State in 1997 as defensive coordinator and added assistant head coach responsibilities to his role in 1999. It was in 1999 that Bailiff was selected the NCAA Division I-AA Assistant Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association. While at TCU, Bailiff was also honored as the Top Assistant Football Coach by the All-American Football Foundation following the Horned Frogs’ 2002 season. As a player, Bailiff was named All-Lone Star Conference as well as All-America honorable mention while playing at Texas State from 1977-80. He served as a team captain in 1980 and was named honorable mention to the Lone Star Team of the Decade. Bailiff is married to the former Angie Daniels of Versailles, Mo. He has a daughter, Brooke and the couple has twin 20-year-old sons, Grayson and Gregory.
