Digety,
There is a looming Federal investigation.
Simple question. Would YOU hire him before the Feds present their results? You realize the potential egg on your face if you find out he's not so innocent. That could lead to the end of your job and maybe your career. Way too high a risk IMO. And why take that risk?, because you want success on the FB field?, totally plays into the narrative of what's wrong.
I mean, it's not like schools don't have other choices.
1) Simple, I don't think that he is "innocent." Second chances are for people who make mistakes and who are guilty. Generally, I don't believe in lifetime bans.
2) The Federal Title IX Investigation is into Baylor's Title IX Compliance (clearly lacking) program. One of the reasons businesses/schools/other have compliance programs is to protect people from doing dumb stuff. Clearly, Briles made mistake and used poor judgment on transfers/suspensions.
Unless once strongly suspects there may be evidence that he concealed evidence of crimes (see Dave Bliss) and/or otherwise advised players on how to "get away with it" out there, I think he should be able to work again as a coach (with appropriate supervision).
Questions:
1) If he is "guilty," how long before he can work again?
2) If he wanted to coach HS again, would that be OK? Pee Wee Football?
3) If I am a HC I want to hire him to be my OC, is that OK? If not immediately, what is the mandatory waiting period? Does he have to be a QB coach before he can be a coordinator?
4) If he cannot coach again, what jobs are OK for someone with his "record?" Can he sell insurance? Do radio/TV? Serve on a Bank Board?
