Art Briles reportedly fired

[bamawriter]

suing the school. that should win him some friends.

and what?

he is adding it to the lawsuit he is part of the cause for? can anybody explain this for it to make sense?

He's trying to prevent the school from reaching a settlement with the accuser. Since Briles is named as a defendant in the suit, he doesn't want a settlement to reflect an admission of his own responsibility.

 

[NashVol11]

Of course he's happy. The Baylor way became, win at all costs. They tasted success and have become greedy as a result. It's what got them in this whole mess.

This was by far the best era in their history. They were so convinced that it would lead to them actually winning something meaningful that they can't accept the idea of that era ending without it

so he is doing it as a third party? The way I read it he was joining the victims against Baylor and adding a clause the lawsuit.

Obviously this legal stuff isn't my strong suit.

No, Briles is a named defendant. He and Baylor are nominally on the same side. Baylor is working to settle with the victim, and Briles doesn't want that. A settlement would result in a ruling that might imply that Briles accepted some responsibility. He's going to deny his role in this until after he and Baylor reach a settlement for his termination.

Art Briles withdraws motion for new attorneys in Title IX lawsuit against Baylor

Embattled Baylor football head coach Art Briles has reached a financial settlement with the university, a longtime regent of the school confirmed to the Waco Tribune-Herald, saying, "The Briles era is over."

Clifton Robinson, a Waco insurance magnate, told the Tribune-Herald that regents had a conference call Thursday night. Though he did not take part in the call, Robinson said he was told that Briles and Baylor had come to a settlement, though he did not know the terms.

Baylor suspended Briles with an intent to terminate on May 26 and owes him as much as $40 million for the eight remaining years on his 10-year contract.

"I was thrilled when I heard that," Robinson said of the settlement. "I think it's a very positive thing for Baylor University to put this behind us and move forward."

Robinson said the board already had authorized attorneys to make a settlement with Briles, so it wouldn't have to come back to the board for approval.

The settlement comes one day after Briles accused the university of unfairly blaming him and the football program for the school's overall "institutional failure" in addressing sexual assault.

In a court filing at U.S. District Court for Western Texas in Waco on Friday, Briles withdrew a request to remove Baylor's attorneys as his legal representation in a Title IX suit filed by a former female student against Baylor, Briles and former athletic director Ian McCaw.

Briles' attorney, Ernest Cannon of Stephenville, Texas, didn't return numerous telephone messages from Outside the Lines. On Thursday, Cannon declined to comment when asked if he was negotiating a settlement with Baylor officials on Briles' behalf.

Briles' position in Friday's motion is a significant change from one day earlier, when his attorneys accused Baylor officials of using him and the athletics department as a "camouflage to disguise and distract from its own institutional failure to comply with Title IX and other federal civil rights laws."

The previous motion, part of the Title IX civil rights lawsuit filed in March by a sexual assault victim, accused the university of keeping Briles in the dark about plans to settle the lawsuit, including not informing him of mediation Friday between Baylor officials and plaintiff Jasmin Hernandez and her attorney. The mediation did not result in a settlement, so the case will continue in court. The plaintiff's attorney, Alexander Zalkin, told ESPN he expects Baylor to file a motion to dismiss between now and July 30.

ESPN does not normally name victims of sexual assault, but Hernandez came out publicly with the filing of the lawsuit. In 2012, Hernandez, a former Baylor student, said she was raped by former football player Tevin Elliott. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $10,000 for sexually assaulting Hernandez, and his criminal trial revealed allegations of rape by three other women and a misdemeanor for trying to assault another woman.

Baylor has been at the center of nationwide attention over its handling of sexual assault allegations and investigations, including several that have involved athletes. In recent weeks, Baylor has dealt with the fallout from that negative attention: the demotion and then resignation of former university president and chancellor Kenneth Starr; the firing of Briles; the suspension and then resignation of McCaw; and the firings of multiple athletic department employees.

Despite being a private school, Baylor is required by the federal Title IX statute to investigate allegations of sexual assault and violence thoroughly and to provide security, counseling services and academic help to those who report assaults. Part of the law's goal is to help keep victims in school.

John Adams wrote a scary piece on Art Briles in the KNS today. Mentioned how someone will hire the guy in the next year or so. Went on to say how Briles would be a good fit at Auburn or Kentucky. Would hate to see Briles in the SEC.

 

[bamawriter]

The Big XII has asked Baylor to turn over all of the documentation they have on these various issues. In fact, the conference asked for it back in March. Will be interesting to see if this is just posturing, or if the Big XII is genuinely considering some sort of punitive action against Baylor.

He might do well at West Virginia - I think they will make a change if this season is mediocre again

Briles is pretty toxic right now, I just can't believe another school from a power 5 conference would consider hiring him. The only thing in his favor is that Baylor is a private school and FOIA requests don't apply to them.

He had a history at the HS level (Stephenville, TX) as being a dirty coach as well. He has no business being a coach at any level IMO.

Teams like Kansas and Purdue should ask him what he wants to come there

Funny how the works always come back full circle. The rise of Baylor killed Texas football for a little while. It looks now that the fall of Baylor will cause Texas to rise again, if they keep getting all the instate recruits flipping back over to them.

I hear he's suing the university. Here's his lawyer...

With the hiring of Mack Rhoades as Baylor's new athletic director, Houston football coach Tom Herman clearly moves into the front-runner position to be Baylor's next head football coach. While at Houston, Rhoades personally interviewed all candidates and gave Herman his first head football coaching job, and they have a close relationship which continues even after Rhoades left for Missouri.

Who wants to coach a dumpster fire? The only reason you have new AD is bc he left another dumpster fire

Why the hell would Herman take that job?

Why the hell would Herman take that job?

Because it makes BU feel better. It's not as bad as the Gruden idea, perpetuated on this site, but still laughable.

Heartland College Sports has learned that Baylor University and Houston head coach Tom Herman have already touched based via a face-to-face meeting regarding the possibility of Herman becoming the next head coach of the Baylor Bears. Herman’s agent was recently in Waco to discuss the position.
Of course, this comes on the heels of Baylor hiring Mack Rhaodes to become their next Athletic Director. Rhoades leaves Missouri where he spent just over a year. To tie it all together, Rhoades was the AD at Houston when the University hired Tom Herman in 2015.
Baylor has big money donors that will pay Herman at least what Briles was making (closing in on $6 million), if not more. According to our sources, Herman has interest in Baylor because the players and recruits from the Briles regime are similar to that of his current scheme at Houston.

Seems legit

Yahoo’s Pat Forde and SB Nation’s Steven Godfrey both say that sources close to Herman call the reports “ridiculous.”

Source close to Tom Herman says Report of contact with Baylor is “ridiculous” and totally without merit.

From the Tom Herman side, the report from Baylor media that Herman is in talks is being called “completely inaccurate and ridiculous.”

Sounds every bit as "legit" as the idea that Briles was coming back after a year.
