Deadspin

Saw the interview on local news tonight. Not only does he bare no responsibility for any troubles at Baylor, but he's pretty much a perfect person all around:

quote:
“I’ve been in it 38 years, and I’ve done, you know, lived the right way for 60 years of my life,” Briles said to reporters, “I’ve never done anything illegal, immoral, unethical.”

Sure, it sounds a little arrogant, but he made up for it with some folksy bullshite:

quote:
“I’m excited about coaching again, I really am, because you know, if you lose your dog, all of a sudden, you’re looking around hollering for him. Just stay up late at night, looking for him. I’ve lost my dog. My dog’s football. I’m ready to go find it again.”

God bless this man.

I've never soured on a person so fast as I have on Art Briles.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Ms. Lippy! The part in the story I don't like is that the little boy gave up looking for Happy after an hour. He didn't put posters up or anything, he just sat on the porch like a goon and waited. That little boy's gotta think: 'You got a pet. You got a responsibility.' If your dog is lost, you don't look for an hour then call it quits; you get your arse out there and you find that fricking dog!

frick Briles. Whoever ends up hiring him is in a dark, dark place for their program. People shite on Saban for being mean or whatever, but he doesn't have shite on what Briles did at Baylor. While it's not as bad as what JoePa did at PSU, it's still worse than anything I've ever seen from any other program (I'm 24 so that's the extent of my history if something worse happened before '92).
