Then we'd also need to hire the Baylor administration because reports show that the team was unaware of these issues. That's why they had to pay Briles $15 M.

I feel I need to repeat in every coaching thread that Art Briles is available.

Is anyone from TheAthletic or AJC on here? I could write an article fully explaining the justification for this move with citations. You just stick your name on it and have your editor review.

Why don't you just email Stansbury and tell him why he should hire Briles if he decides to let CPJ go?

Thought it was weird how quickly the AD was picked up by Liberty but Briles is untouchable?

Who was a better choice than CPJ in December 2007?

Certainly, no one that we were actually looking at/interviewing. Edsall? Neuheisel? No way. Of course there are always better coaches available unless you have literally the best coach on earth.

Just because you don't have the best coach on earth doesn't mean better coaches are available. Lots of great coaches are probably not interested in GT.

Agreed. I meant "available" as in they exist, not that they would be realistic candidates. But I'm not sure what Yukon was getting at.
 
A spaghetti on the wall thread, eh? OK lets go snag John Reid from Rome and get a modern high school offense!
 
All I hear are a bunch of coaches that will use us as a springboard. Hire George Godsey at least he will stay around for a while.

Wouldn't a guy trying to use us as a springboard be pretty motivated to win? Gimme a guy that will win for 3-4 years vs a guy that we let hang around because we are too guilty to fire him.

I used to really be of this school of thought, but at this point, it doesn't matter anymore. Would it be great to keep a coach for a very long time, of course, but no one is upset that we ever hired Ross or OLeary. After seeing successful seasons with CPJ, I was hopeful he would be our Frank Beamer (but with a national championship). I'm still hopeful that the team matures and turns things around this season, and that we can return to more years like 2014 instead of 2015 or 2017. That may not happen, and I'm ready to move on if we do, but when we move on we need a proven coach(at the FBS level), even if they use us as a stepping stone. We can't afford to hire a Derek Dooley type.
 
Holy shit, Art Briles is available?

How on earth does he not have a job?

Nobody wants the PR hit.

Here is an article from August for the Briles supporters. I did not realize he had taken a job coaching football in Italy. Dang. So, he clearly still wants to coach and would probably take any college job at this point.

https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mac-engel/article215966180.html

The American football league’s season in Europe does not begin until March, and Briles said he will not go to Italy until October. The contract, per Briles, is flexible and allows him to return to the U.S. to accept a coaching position if such a scenario happens.

“I’m a football coach and it’s all I’ve ever done and all I’ve ever really had a passion to do; this gives me a chance to be on the field and between the lines,” Briles said. “(This is) a situation where I can build a team over there and it’s inspiring to me. ... It’s a situation where I can stay active this fall as a coach and as a person be involved in the game. Who knows what the future holds? It’s a golden opportunity for me to get on the field and be involved. I’m jacked about it.”


Per IRS records, Briles received nearly $18 million when he left Baylor. The school’s chief counselor, Christopher Holmes, also wrote a letter on behalf of Baylor for Briles that essentially exonerated him from the school’s rape scandal that shadowed the university for well over a year.

As more facts regarding the case continue to come out, a few things are apparent: The problem of handling sexual assault at Baylor was a university-wide issue, and the school leaned on the football program as the main offenders; regardless of any new information, most people have made up their minds about Briles, his staff and anyone associated with the program as, at least, some distant relative of Satan himself.

Briles always figured he would coach again; it just took him far longer than he anticipated, and over the Atlantic Ocean, to do it.
