Baylor IS in some deep trouble

[pkt77242]

Sounds like the report is coming out today as well. That's got to be absolutely horrible if they actually fired Briles

^This

It tells you that the report is going to say that Briles was aware of what was going on and ignored it or actively covered it up.

Briles out

Didn't think they would actually do it

I didn't think they would let him go. They must have found that he had at least some knowledge of what was going down...can't recover from that.

I really started to like Briles. Reading up on the tragic death of his parents and aunt was one of those "feel good stories" about someone finding success after something so traumatic.

Now.... Just despicable.

Hell, I was a fan of the idea of going after Briles if BK ever jumped to the NFL. He could coach for 4 or 5 years and then pass the reigns to whatever talented OC was in place.

But that was before everyone figured out what a vile, despicable human he is. It's disgusting that a man can allow so many wrongs to occur among his athletes and not feel responsible, while simultaneously trumpeting his faith and how "we do things the right way."

But seriously, he's probably coaching some other school in four years when everyone has forgotten about the sexual assault victims.

My assumption is that its going to be confirmed that he indeed did know of these incidents and not only did he do nothing but then the same player, Elliot I believe, did it again.

He has a history of bringing in kids with questionable character. No sympathy here.

I looked, they have 5 commits and we've never heard of any of them other than the WR, who we probably have a good chance with.

Don't they have a top, big name, QB commit?

Won't be ND, though.

 

[Luckylucci]

Just in general, this obviously can't hurt Texas recruiting. At this point, Texas is the only legit program that isn't a dumpster fire and they aren't completely out of the woods. Especially, if they have another slow start to the season. With A&M and Baylor in reeling, I'd be all over Texas recruits. Sounds like we've already made some traction with a few good players but I'd keep kicking tires.

I didn't recognize one but I only looked at names. Even so, we're not going to go after their QB I'm sure with Avery and Phil committed I don't think.

Kellen Mond and is sounds like OSU is going to move on him and be hard to beat. Also, I don't think we'd go after a second QB with Phil J now in the 18' class.

Where he ends up is probably a low tier level D1 program. He'll make them like an SMU or CFU where they get their 15 minutes of fame. Some bigger program will then decide enough time has passed and they'll take a chance with him. The school he leaves will slip back into obscurity.

Briles is 60 years old and I doubt he coaches anywhere this season. So his next stop will probably be his last, imo.

I'm assuming his son will take over?

I would assume that he wouldn't. Why would they hire from within from a staff that they are cleaning house on. I highly doubt they look at anyone with connections to the current staff.

Their d-coordinator has already been named the interim coach. I'd imagine he'll get this season as a trial for whoever the new president ends up being. It'll take a playoff appearance for the new president to hold any of the staff over after this year, though.

Also, I saw something that said "Kendall Briles is still on staff 'for now' "

Depends on if he's implicated in the report. If not, then he was the presumed successor before this and I could see the administration wanting to keep continuity if Kendall is clean.

I don't think it matters. He's compliment because he's connected to Briles. You don't fire a guy for covering up rapes and hire his son.

They actually talked on ESPN a moment ago about possible replacements and everyone (including McShay) agreed that no one connected to Briles will be looked at as an option.

I highly doubt their d coordinator is the coach this season unless they can't find anyone. They need someone to look after the team until this mess gets figured out.

Hmm. Interesting.

In certain instances, including reports of a sexual assault by multiple football players, athletics and football personnel affirmatively chose not to report sexual violence and dating violence to an appropriate administrator outside of athletics. In those instances, football coaches or staff met directly with a complainant and/or a parent of a complainant and did not report the misconduct. As a result, no action was taken to support complainants, fairly and impartially evaluate the conduct under Title IX, address identified cultural concerns within the football program, or protect campus safety once aware of a potential pattern of sexual violence by multiple football players.

In addition, some football coaches and staff took improper steps in response to disclosures of sexual assault or dating violence that precluded the University from fulfilling its legal obligations. Football staff conducted their own untrained internal inquiries, outside of policy, which improperly discredited complainants and denied them the right to a fair, impartial and informed investigation, interim measures or processes promised under University policy. In some cases, internal steps gave the illusion of responsiveness to complainants but failed to provide a meaningful institutional response under Title IX. Further, because reports were not shared outside of athletics, the University missed critical opportunities to impose appropriate disciplinary action that would have removed offenders from campus and possibly precluded future acts of sexual violence against Baylor students. In some instances, the football program dismissed players for unspecified team violations and assisted them in transferring to other schools. As a result, some football coaches and staff abdicated responsibilities under Title IX and Clery; to student welfare; to the health and safety of complainants; and to Baylor’s institutional values.

In addition to the failures related to sexual assault and dating violence, individuals within the football program actively sought to maintain internal control over discipline for other forms of misconduct. Athletics personnel failed to recognize the conflict of interest in roles and risk to campus safety by insulating athletes from student conduct processes. Football coaches and staff took affirmative steps to maintain internal control over discipline of players and to actively divert cases from the student conduct or criminal processes. In some cases, football coaches and staff had inappropriate involvement in disciplinary and criminal matters or engaged in improper conduct that reinforced an overall perception that football was above the rules, and that there was no culture of accountability for misconduct.
