Baylor considering vote on Briles return
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/reports--baylor-board-t…
Under consideration: Bringing back Art Briles.
Really? This is seriously still being debated? The fact that they are even TALKING about this looks horrible on the university. They are saying that Baylor didn't have a Title 9 officer, pleading ignorance on how to handle the cases.
They just don't get it.
Nor do they even care to.
They're like an SEC school without the results.

I'm Ron Zingudy???
or Ole Miss
If they join the SEC or ACC then they'd get pardoned essentially.
So far the only punishment to Baylor's football program is that they decided they will probably fire their HC. Who's talking about punishing them if they bring him back? It looks to me like Baylor is completely unafraid of the NCAA and the Big XII. There hasn't even been a hint that they considered self-imposing any punishments.
I don't advocate this, but I will not be suprised at all if this is what occurs. Briles is a great coach, better than what BU can probably get right now. Briles will be toxic for programs that would have originally thought about hiring him (i.e. Texas). It is best for both parties to do a one year 'punishment' and join back up. Baylor has the taste of winning now...I just don't see them giving that up in this highly competitive/money-rich NCAA environment.
"damaged goods" as a coach (for wont of a better metaphor). If he were to stay on, at least in the short term, recruiting will be a huge uphill battle for him. Many parents now don't want to send their kids there due to the toxic atmosphere and questionable leadership at the school. So, I'd be pretty shocked if he were to stay on. Not completely shocked, because greed and the thirst for winning in college football knows no bounds.
Not going to happen.
Not really click bait. There's a push from the big name donors to keep him as coach and let Starr take the blame. There's still smoke here.
" the voices are "few in number" and action to bring back the coach is "unlikely."
Sounds like clickbait to me.
Typically how it goes with these donors. Few guys that provide a ton of money to the university.
Whether or not it's unlikely, the rumblings underneat the surface at Baylor make this situation look horrible AGAIN.
What is the acceptable victory-to-rape ratio? Let's say you have a coach that is virtually guaranteed to bring you 10 wins a year. How many rapes should be allowable with that win total? I am thinking 6 sounds about right. 10-to-6, wins-to-rapes. That means, however, that if Briles has a terrible year and brings only 5 wins, he is also down to 3 acceptable rapes. But I SWEAR TO GOD, even a 4th rape under this scenario will NOT STAND!!!
rape five times.
Yes, but I wasn't looking in a mirror when I did so. Therefore, Rapey Candyman is not coming...
You mean Olympic hopeful Brock Turner?
What makes you think they take minutes on this topic? Wasn't their "official" report not written down, or something akin to that. Don't want to leave a trail of evidence.
/smh @ baylor
that they shouldn't bring Briles back and wait for them to contribute again than it is to risk the losses all the bad publicity will bring.
Briles in 2017 and beyond will not get the same results he had been getting. Recruiting will take a step or two back and he won't inherit a great roster. He won't be able to cut the same corners to overcome that. Aside from all that, it's foolish to think he's the only qualified coach out there. Was the program going to fold if he had left for another job?
but it's funny/sad you happened to use the phrase "let Starr take the blame"
as if if there wasn't MORE than enough for everybody involved.
Baylor is a cesspool.
Why not. Tennessee didn't dismiss their head coach. The lack of perspective is amazing.
I had considered going into raping until I read Title 9 and realized what raping actually was.
Photoshopped or not, this made my Monday morning better.
"Hey everyone, remember that thing we did that was right? What if we didn't do that and instead did something far less logical and transparently self-serving?"

once it became public is worse.
LOL, what? This has to be a joke.

This is more than click bait. Several major sites are reporting similar happenings.
Again, there's smoke. This isn't some little tiny website spamming your comp with "click here for a bigger weiner."
Death penalty
Death penalty for Baylor or Art Briles?
A person with knowledge of the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions, said there is indeed a faction of voices within the school’s Board of Regents still supporting Briles and urging the school to bring him back. But those voices, the person said, were few in number at this point and considered to be on the margins.
Let's hope those voices remain on the margins and are unsuccessful in turning this termination into a suspension, because if they were successful, then I would hate to think what you would need to do at Baylor in order to actually be fired period, other than fail to turn a profit, that is. Seriously, what the hell is in the Kool-Aid in Waco that disallows learning and seeks to marginalize victims even more?
AKA, million-dollar donors to the school, they'll have the vote.
Waco is "in the water in Waco".
It attracts more crazies than Ohio & Florida combined.
