To set a few things straight:
Art Briles reportedly(emphasis) protected his players from university judicial affairs investigations. The involvement of the JA would have possibly expelled players that were later accused of crimes. That was deemed a contributing factor in Baylor seeking to part ways with Art Briles.

Kendal Briles allegedy told a recruit "We have lots of white women that want to screw black football players."(paraphrase) The recruit later chose another school and went public with Kendal's illustrious marketing tactics.

The 'rape culture' tag spread by ESPN/TM is debatable. At least some of the alleged victims did not report their claims to either the university or police, but as others have pointed out litigation is still pending and Briles players were the subject in these lawsuits.

Here's what I would suggest:

Hire Kendal. 1) Don't let KB anywhere near recruiting. 2) Don't allow him to make promises to recruits or players about staying in school or on the team. In other words, be ready to kick off players that can't make it in school or are behavior risks. 3) Communicate in writing via legal counsel that Briles reports to the AD and can be fired at any time. This was Baylor's biggest mistake. Baylor's AD was a contributing factor. 4) Ban Art Briles from hanging around. It just looks bad. 5) Do thorough background checks on Kendall's assistant coaches and enforce the nepotism clause. Art hired his son, son in law, and only people he could control. If you let Kendal hire, you'll get people loyal to him and not LSU. That was another Baylor mistake.

Last thing, don't expect Kendal to ever be loyal. You won't be able to pay or treat him well enough for him to grasp that idea. So be ready for him to bolt at whatever opportunity comes along next.

Just an opinion.





First rule, don't ever ask an A&M grad(or student) about higher education. For the same reason you don't ask a midget about dunking a basketball. It's rude and they won't have any experience or insight. A&M is an indoctrination factory where they focus on rote memorization, brainwashing, and reinforcing group think to the degree that critical analysis is eliminated and the subjects become drones. A&M grads tend not to leave Texas, don't attend graduate schools(esp outside of Texas) and aren't in the top medical or law programs even in Texas. Ex: the A&M regents bought a law school, managed it so poorly that the students quit applying and had to shut it down.

If A&M(and even UT) were such great 'deals' from a price standpoint, why are over 35k students opting to pay the prices of TCU, SMU, Baylor?

For the same reason you don't like standing in line to renew your drivers license. If you simply want a college degree and it's not a competitive field and you want the diploma on the wall without a big challenge, then go stand in line at the DMV/get a state university education.
But if it's a competitive field or grad school, attending a state university at least in Texas, is sort of like leaving it to chance.

Anyone that suggests all diplomas are created equally, probably doesn't know much about how others earn diplomas.
I'm sure the Ags here can tell us that the College Station experience is second only to Harvard. But I'll let them tell you that.
