If it still isn't clear to you that this is a hell of a lot bigger than football, regardless of the name of the thread, then I'm not the "moran" here.
Someone from the Briles coaching tree? Could that mean it's Kendall. I ain't even mad. Art deserves it.
It's from a meme, boss. Don't be annoying. Go make a separate thread bc this is clearly a football thread.
Phillip Montgomery? And where/what does Art do next? <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Baylor expected to make defensive coordinator Phil Bennett interim coach, per source.

As a Baylor grad, I'm very happy with this news. As a consumer of sports media, does Chip Brown ever get it right? Ever?
It's so clearly a football thread, that over 50% of the thread is devoted to discussing the matter at hand. Right. What everyone's been trying to beat you over the head with is that this issue is what currently defines Baylor football, despite the school's attempts to separate the two. Even your attitude here is a microcosm of the issue. alright, art's gone - let's get back to business as usual - go bears!

It was the right thing to do, but sad for Baylor fans and the Big 12 in general. He was a helluva coach and Baylor was an amazing team to watch the last few years... But, as a Horned Frog, as much as it would destroy the TCU program, if Patterson was in this situation then I would want him gone as well. Props to Baylor for making an incredibly difficult (albeit right) decision.
