Briles is a legend in Texas. He'll bounce back at a small HS or something.

Armstead's timeline is pretty alarming. Not reopening investigations when criminal charges are brought is a massive red flag.

Armstead was expelled from school in February 2016 over the 2013 allegations.
Armstead maintains his innocence and has said he is contemplating a lawsuit against the school for their handling of the incident.

Not saying this didn't need to happen, but the year I was in the locker room at BU with Briles as my coach he did nothing but instruct me the right way. That was back in 2009 so obviously things changed, but leave it to a bunch of grown arse men on the internet to judge a man without ever even meeting him.
While that may be true, you can see things going on, and ignore those things while still instructing in the way you describe. There's more involved in running a football program than simply saying words, wouldn't you agree? There's an attitude, a culture, and somehow a very disgusting culture grew right underneath his nose. I don't think he's a bad guy, but this shite grew right underneath him. If he didn't know this was going on, why pay him all of that money? What's the point of having a great football coach if these things will happen as a result of having said coach?
With that being said, its hard to feel sorry for Briles, he got paid handsomely, and will likely continue to be paid more than handsomely.

Baylor needs someone with strong morals leading their program like Steve Sarkisian
if there is a group powerful enough to monitor his drinking, it's a baptist college in waco
They did a horrible job monitoring rape. I don't think I'd trust the school's administration to monitor anything at this point.
As someone said already, Briles is the scapegoat here. Ken Starr was the enabler, and he needs to go as well.

The Title IX stuff is not the job of the police. Jesus Christ.

do they have reach to get into other areas? c'mon

You're skimming needs some refinement. Look at what they did in response in their investigations. You keep focusing on playing time and not the school's role in investigating these things. Armstead's timeline is pretty alarming. Not reopening investigations when criminal charges are brought is a massive red flag. Gag ordering this stuff to suppress it, the whole gamut.
Armstead is now suing Baylor for kicking him out without him being convicted of a crime.

My dad was a Texas Ranger and a U.S. Marshall in Mclennan county, and he's always said ANYTHING can happen with law enforcement there.

I don't blame them. Baylor needs to clean house.

Seriously? Baylor alumni were willing to sell their collective souls for wins on a football field.
Another example of talking the talk, not walking the walk.

well that's a shitty policy of the Obama administration. probably one of the worst domestic policies of his reign
these investigations SHOULD be handled by the police because they are criminal

Well until you're installed as prince of the principality, they have a duty to conduct those investigations. Them abdicating that responsibility because SFP thinks it is a bad idea means nothing.

Maybe in Texas. He comes off as too gruff and ornery to me. I don't think he could recruit the type guys we do.

He'd have to lay low for a while before he could ever set foot in another major program IMO. I can't see anybody wanting to touch him now.
Briles will be paying defense lawyers for a long time, remember he was named personally in the lawsuit filed by one rape victim last month. I would imagine there will be more since that dude raped at least 6 before going to prison.
Kendall Briles was selling condos in Houston before Art got the Baylor gig. Young, very little experience and a nobody without Daddy.
It's a sorry family, I know them all, Briles and his wife, Kendall and daughters. A really sorry, low class bunch of people.

They are having a sit down with Chip and Joe as we speak. Fixer Upper 4 part episode in the works. Flipping old BlueBell factory into Saban mini-mansion.
6 truckloads of shiplap already enroute
