Briles Fired

[bobbyinaz]

Briles dismissed as football coach at Baylor

Don't know what this means, if anything, to the whole B12 mess.

Baylor sucked for so long and then became a top 10 school with Briles there. Now, they are in a very tenuous position. The wrong hire can send that whole program down the dumps

Nah, one bad coach couldn't motally wound a school, could he?

Wow. Great coach, suspect human.

Program has been put in a dumpster and lit on fire. Baylor will be back to being Baylor within 5 years.

Someone at Baylor is cleaning house and I admit to being a bit surprised that a school would can a successful coach. Especially since, it's rather obvious they were breaking the rules all along.

Closer to 2-3 but it will be swift.

Will Herman wait several months for the UT job?

Agreed. Seemed like it could've been a "that's how we do it down here in Texas" moment. That being said, I think sexual assaults are different than paying players. You can certainly make an argument that paying players is "victimless" (I know you can find victims), but sexual assaults (of your students) is as victim'd as you can get.

Appointing Briles' DC Phil Bennett as interim head coach, retaining his son Kendall as OC, and giving Ken Starr another job within the university doesn't exactly strike me as "cleaning house."

Hopefully they will soon hire a new HC who brings in all his own assistants, and the AD should also get the ax posthaste.
