Laugh at Arkansas/Auburn thread re: Art Briles

for not going after Art Briles or at least making more of an effort.

It's hilarious to see you guys act all high and mighty because he coaches at Baylor. IMO, one of the best coaches in the game and doing what he can with what he has at his disposal.

Since he's gotten to Baylor, Briles has now.......remember, like you guys like to say......it's BAYLOR......brought a Heisman winner to Baylor, has won 2 straight bowls vs. decent competition, has won 25 games in the last 3 years.....

whereas Baylor was the doormat of the Big XII before his arrival.

I'll just leave this here as well....

Briles led the 2011 Baylor team in its most successful season since the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1996. With Baylor's win in the 2011 Valero Alamo Bowl game, Briles led the Bears to a 10–3 record; the 10 wins tied for the most by a Baylor team in school history with the 1980 team. The 2011 season opened at home against 14-ranked TCU. In a nationally televised game, Baylor won a dramatic 50–48 decision. It was Baylor's first win over a ranked opponent since 2004. In Big 12 Conference play the Bears would accumulate a 6–3 record, eclipsing their previous high of 4 conference wins in 2010. The Bears finished a perfect 7–0 at Floyd Casey Stadium, including a 45–38 upset victory over the #5 Oklahoma Sooners and a 48–24 victory over #22 Texas. The victory over Oklahoma was the first for the Bears, having lost the previous 20 meetings between the two schools. In 2011, Baylor also defeated Texas Tech for the first time since 1995 (snapping a 15 game losing streak to the Red Raiders). Following the conclusion of the 2011 regular season, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, whom Briles was instrumental in recruiting and developing, was awarded the 77th annual Heisman Trophy.[12]

Briles has won 17 Big 12 conference games in his five years as head coach. Baylor had won only 11 Big 12 conference games in the 12 seasons preceding his arrival.
