Waco, TX Perspective on Briles

Most people in Waco think the Briles thing was a media witch hunt. They love Briles. The guy can flat out coach. Read this and tell me it doesn't make you think about the Duke Lacrosse witch hunt. I'd be thrilled with Briles.

Witch hunt, maybe. That shite goes on at a bunch of schools I'm sure. But still, perception is reality to so many people.

1. He is 70 years old. I think we should look long term coach.
2. He doesn't play defense. That's really really important in the SEC. See aTm

And Penn State still loves JoePa. What's your point?

what do the fixer uppers think?

Was about to post this. I don't like the fact that he's 60 yrs old. He has baggage no doubt. I think it makes Herman the obvious #1 choice.

Not only was it a witch hunt, it was politically motivated to destroy Kenneth Star. He was president of Baylor.
Back in the 90's he was the Special Prosecutor who uncovered the infamous Monica Lewinski case against President Bill Clinton. There has always been a political vendetta against him.
Briles was collateral damage.

C'mon man...hire a sixty year old coach

It won't happen, but I would love a briles hire with Aranda retained

100% was a witch hunt. This stuff happens at every school, fact.
I think there are FOOTBALL reasons for not necessarily wanting to hire him.. The dude doesn't seem to know a whole lot about defense... But the "situation" is not a fair reason to exclude him from the conversation imo

That's because HS football rules in Texas. Do you even Friday Night Lights, bro?

Yeah, Waco and cults go well togathyer. They have their heads in the sand.

Why would you want that shite at LSU? I transferred from Southeastern Louisiana Uni. to Texas and no one over here likes Briles or what they represent right now. Waco wants to win because Baylor is all they got but a school like A&M or the University of Texas at Austin would not allow a coach like that to step foot on campus so why should LSU?

Exactly. Those here talking against Briles are just repeating the usual media circus hearsay. They've put no effort into finding the truth, and would rather lazily just call him a "rape supporter".

The guy can coach!! He is an offensive genius which is what we need!!

Whether anyone thinks i"m wrong or whatever, I honestly don't think Briles got a fair shake.
I think he was definitely at some fault in the whole thing, but from the beginning I've thought that he probably didn't know wtf was going on, until one day everything kind of was brought in front of him and it was just too late to really do anything.
Like I said, he did some really shitty stuff, but to blame him entirely for the whole thing is a bit ridiculous IMO.
I knew Briles somewhat personally, I was in the Baylor locker room my freshman year (2008) and never saw anything like what's been mentioned. Doesn't mean someone isn't a snake behind closed doors though.
