http://www.si.com/college-football/2016/05/26/baylor-art-briles-coach-fired-rape-scandal Fired the university president as well. I honestly don't know how Briles has lasted this long considering the OTL report.
Am I surprised by the firing of Art Briles? No. And, yes. #Baylor - Mike Greenberg Takes like these are what make Mike & Mike special.
I commented on that in my post but removed it. Didn't want it to come across as crass. But you are right. Go-go Christian Private School values!
So where does Briles go next? When all this comes out he's gonna look terrible but this is a forgiving country, especially for a guy with plenty of dumb country charm.
I figure mid major. work his way up. posted this in the other thread: reading the Baylor message board. both sad and amusing. a lot of people defending briles saying he can't know everything. then i read the "new head coach" thread with names like herman, fuente and a bunch of other people who wouldn't touch this job with a ten foot pole (and frankly probably wouldn't have taken it BEFORE the allegations). some want sonny dykes
This will stay with him but yeah he will get another chance with some sorry ass school. Like a West Virginia.
these guys are idiots: Joe Schad @schadjoe · 31s31 seconds ago Report says Baylor football coaches/staff sometimes met directly w complainants or their family and didn’t report it further
really really stupid if true. what you do is pretend you never heard anything and ignore it. going to meet the victims and then not doing something is utterly idiotic.
I assume "met with" was a means just to temper the noise, considering the level of idiocy we are dealing with here it wouldn't surprise me if the coaches themselves paid these women with personal checks to be quiet.
