Briles out?

[RGV Pony]

And Scott Drew is, ironically, now much like Dave Bliss while he was at smu. The spotlight being on football, Baylor hoops keeps doing its thing

Hiring Morris would be way too smart for Baylor to pull off. They all think they should hire Saban.

The question is who is going to do the hire? AD going to survive this?

He should be out on the street along with Briles and Starr, but apparently he's just being sanctioned and placed on probation.

Why would anyone want to take on the mess right now? Is the AD surviving? They need to hire a dedicated Alum like Singletary to get them through the next couple of years and then they can reload.

I agree, Chad is not going to take that job. You have no idea if the NCAA is going to impose sanctions or Baylor may self impose sanctions and major restrictions on it's football program. The report must be pretty damning if Baylor is firing Briles.

I say we fire Chad Morris Hire Briles and ask God for forgiveness

June JOnes to Baylor

I think I saw a picture of him with Baylor gear, already celebrating...

Singletary makes a lot of sense

Can we recruit a guy who has signed a letter of intent? We have a couple of scholarships left, right?

Report says Baylor football coaches/staff sometimes met directly w complainants or their family and didn’t report it further

[tristatecoog]

Apparently Phil Bennett to take over on an interim basis.

[SoCal_Pony]

Since Montgomery was on the Baylor staff when the sexual assaults occurred he will probably not be in consideration for the job. I think they go after Herman or Morris.

No one is touching a coach with a 2-10 record

BS-he may not top the list but there are plenty of people at Baylor that know exactly how great Morris will be. Come on

Exactly. If this had happened 1.5 years ago, Chad would have been at the top of their list. Nothing he has done since then has diminished his value IMO. Question is would he take it or not?

Coaching searches are largely about ego. Baylor can't hire a 2-win coach from SMU because Baylor fans view that as beneath them, no matter how good an idea it may be. This is why so many searches get screwed up-trying to make people happy rather than doing the right thing.

I note the Baylor press release says nothing regarding Bennett as interim coach. I am sure it is true, that may not be set in stone.
