Going against the usual approach in your case was not even reading the report? At least from previous posts you made I have to assume you did not.

And if losing a multi million dollar job doesn't help to deter the next guy, then the next guy has to be a blithering idiot.

I'm with you on the state of the judicial system and how much public opinion seems to play a part, but if you even read half the report I don't see how you could possibly still feel bad for poor Art Briles.

Actually, I had no knowledge of him contacting and intimidating victims, I merely assumed Baylor fired him because three players in his charge were convicted, and they were trying to save face for a civil suit. Going against the usual approach is demanding proof before condemning alleged acts. Shame on me.

I don't jump on bandwagons and call for a coach's head because some of his players do stupid stuff. And just because he is accused of intimidating victims, which is beyond stupid, doesn't mean I buy it until it is proven.

Has losing multi-million dollar jobs put a stop to this kind on nonsense? By my estimation, not yet. But when Sandusky got put behind bars, I guarantee you any pedophile coaches out there took notice.

Any if someone does a crime, I am old school in thinking they do time, not lose an income they can eventually replace. And anyone who doesn't like it, DILLIGAF?

I respect your points made. I just simply thought that having sympathy for Briles without even reading what had been uncovered was not doing due diligence. That's all. Too much of that going on these days. Commenting without researching. I would say I'm sorry for it being a pet peeve of mine, but I also dgaf.

I failed to comment on the Sandusky thing. Are you suggesting that pedophile coaches weren't aware they could go to jail for that before Sandusky did? Or that Sandusky wasn't aware either? Pretty poor example in my opinion.

Well, just because some law firm says it is so doesn't make it so. No offense to any lawyer that is on here, but I would trust a stripper from the mouses ear's words over yours. I have known too many lawyers who study how to be effective liars.

I do not jump on the reports generated by them or national pundits with agendas. I feel the world would be a better place if they took a vacation trip together to Damascus.

After reading that Ken Starr is smack dab in the middle of this, I am more convinced what we think we know about this can't be instantly bought.

Strange enough, the voice of reason I would want to hear on this? Mike Leach, but not on TV. The whole interview would be bleep hell.

The law firm, who created the report, was hired by the university you dolt. If they are going to spin it in any way it would be to make the university look as good as possible.

Of course they are. But it will probably go even deeper than that.

First and foremost, I feel bad for the victims.








Secondly, the DoE seems to approve of the Board of Regents handling of the situation so screw the media. They'll always be out to get someone (see the current Tennessee situation), they need the ad revenue.

Former Baylor Coach and Executive Director the FCA Grant Teaff has been in contact with Mack Brown to guage his interest in coaching the 2016 season while retaining the current staff. My guess is Mack will be offered the AD's job after the season. [ It would be great to watch Mack kick Charlie Strong's butt (if he lasts that long) in Austin this season...#longwhorntears]

BU who do you think yall go after?

Sonny Dykes or Chad Morris at the end of the season maybe? Holgorsen? Babers maybe? I can't see Montgomery coming back - nor do I see the staff really sticking together; I think they've put a retainer on them to try and salvage the recruiting/keep the team's spirit alive for the 2016 season, then leave their fate up to the next head coach.

I think Dykes has to be high on the list. He comes from TX...grew up in Big Springs...TX HS coaches know him. He'd be a great fit.

Honestly dont see a new HC being hired until after the season. Mack could be the exception. I would love to see it happen though I think Mack is done. Todd Graham is another guy who could step in as a retainer.

The pecking order IMO:

1. Dino Babers-Syracuse (former Briles asst)
2. Phil Montgomery-Tulsa (long time Briles asst)
3. Chad Morris-SMU (succeeded Briles at Stephenville HS)
4. Larry Fedora-UNC (first college job at Baylor-6 year stint)
They would help keep the 2017 class together along with Mack Brown



5. Sonny Dykes-Cal
6. Mike Singletary (good defensive coach with no college experience)




7. Tom Herman- Houston (will take the Texas job if offered)

Would be happy with any of these.
