Will go after Herman hard next year for sure Bennet is interim coach and Kendall Briles remains as OC for now. That means nothing will really change from a football perspective.
Totally agree. I didn't think Baylor had the stones, but I'm glad they did. From a football perspective, of course this is bad for the Big XII, but what would've been worse would be allowing a rape enabler to remain a top dog in the conference. I'm not ready to hand out kudos to Baylor yet. This was, in my opinion, the easiest step in the process. Much harder will be changing the culture on campus and building the infrastructure for student care that was obviously lacking.
Seriously, why aren't the Waco Police being ridiculed and investigated as well for the cover ups and "non" involvement? They have MAJOR faults in this as well.
Well ****, the information I was getting was clearly bad but something must have been really bad in the report for us to fire him.
Everything pointed in his direction, which is why everyone was wondering why it was taking so long. Briles is Joe Paterno without the legend.
Apparent text to the players: "To current and former players - Hurtful to report there's a release coming out at 11 am that's gonna declare that I'm no longer the head football coach at Baylor University - due to this early release I'm sorry that I can't talk to all of y'all in person. Looks like the remainder of the staff will stay intact which is beneficial for y'all. I sincerely appreciate your love, trust, and loyalty." @CoachArtBriles account also deleted.
Not sure what else you vigilantes want. Baylor just fired the best coach in its history. Reputation is pretty bad right now. Lawsuits still coming. Investigations are still going on. Getting the right coach will help from a morale stand point.

All the time but he's definitely had his share of misses. He's been nails on the a lot of happenings at Texas. On Baylor, he was one of the first to report that Starr was going to be reassigned and the AD was out. Also reported this morning that the PH report would come out and a possible whistle blower against Briles, either could have lead up to the quick firing which caught surprised a lot of people.
Should we make all of this info about Briles and McCaw a new thread? There's going to be a lot coming out in the next few days
This. Herman doesn't care about coaching at Baylor. I think Baylor could be at risk of being left behind in the next realignment.
