damn yall act like he did it.. yall act like he told someone to do it.. my god, every football coach in a america has this brought before his desk. the man simply had an AD and a President that wanted to sweep it under the rug.. He didnt want to have anything to do with it.. not saying that is right by any means, but damn football coaches dont really deal with the most perfect people in society..

agreed, BU had to protect its reputation as a baptist university and didn't want the negative exposure from all of this... and from an administrative perspective deciding to cover up the crime is nearly as reprehensible as the actual crime was itself,it sort of reminds me of the Ray Rice stuff the NFL was trying to represent the moral high road but when presented with the facts of the situation it quickly became clear their position represents hypocrisy, and when the Regents at baylor came to that conclusion (which I mean come on hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance are basically the central tenets of being a baptist) that they didn't want to have any egg on their face so to speak and they covered it up...does that make briles look worse by association, of course it does, yet it also shouldn't disqualify him from future employment

So how long should we wait? Are we going hire a 75 year old a few years down the line when everyone forgets he was associated with a massive rape cover up?

I don't know for some reason no one seems to care that it also occurred under Jimbo Fishers watch, the time line with him is pretty immediate so I think briles would deserve the same courtesy

Briles:too old;didn't read.

And I'll take the 61 year old that completely rebuilt 2 programs over the guy that's had one good year at UoH with an unbelievable QB that he didn't recruit. Agree to disagree.

I tried reading it, I really did. Please go back and edit and use the enter/return key about 20 times to break that great wall of text up. thanks.

BU because every school south of Kansas wants UH in the BIG 12

wrong, Oklahoma president voted no yesterday

That's where we differ. I don't take the Findings of Fact at face value. The regents have done nothing to buy my trust. Most are either childish power-mongerers or gutless pushovers. Neither type belongs in a leadership role.

And you're wrong about both the Title IX and federal government sanctions. First, he did nothin to involve the government. Saying such is so inaccurate that it's laughable. Second, Baylor didn't have any real title IX structure in place until fall of 2014, long after the major issues. Employees, including Briles, did not even receive any Title IX training until September of 2015. How is Briles accountable for that?

I'm just telling y'all, the more that gradually comes to light from this, the cleaner Briles is going to look. We need to get in on this guy before anyone else.

If you cared deeply for LSU, why would you want it associated with someone who has been associated with these horrible crimes.
(1) Doesn't it say something that all this crap happened on his watch?
(2) What type of culture was he promoting at Baylor?
(3) This is not just being a scumbag like Petrino, this is having your head coach potentially associated with covering up serious violent crimes (one occurrence is tough to see, but multiple occurrences has to fall on leadership)

And even if you are a spineless human being and that stuff doesn't bother you, Briles didn't accomplish crap at Baylor. His bowl games:

2010 Texas Bowl Illinois 38 Baylor 14
2011 Alamo Bowl Baylor 67 Washington 56
2012 Holiday Bowl Baylor 49 UCLA 26
2014 Fiesta Bowl Central Florida 52 Baylor 42
2015 Cotton Bowl Michigan State 42 Baylor 41
2016 Russell Athletic Baylor 49 UNC 38

He made 2 BCS/Big 6 Bowls and lost both games, and besides that made lower tier bowls, giving up ridiculous amounts of points. His teams do not play a lick of defense and that style will get crushed in the SEC, as your D would be out on the field a ton. And don't give me the shite, "well he doesn't have LSU's talent,"...he had a freaking Heisman trophy QB and multiple criminal/druggie NFL draft picks.

frick Art Briles; I hope he doesn't ever step foot on the LSU campus.
