Translation:

Briles is happy with easy wins, not bigger things.

How great would it be to pull off the upset this year?


Also, how great would it be to win the lottery and hook up with Scarlett Johansson?

Has Art Briles ever heard of James Madison University? Someone contact him.

Critiquing Art Briles OOC, when he's proven he can take a mostly irrelevant Baylor, and have some sustained success is pretty ignorant.

Every single knowledgeable analyst of college football will continue to criticize Briles for his creampuff schedule.

When those "knowledgable" people are successful enough to be on the field, managing a team of their own that hasn't had much success in the previous 20 years, then their opinion can count. Until then, it's nothing but words to spark social media.

Please list in order those things we can critique Briles for without being called ignorant.

This. Desmond Howard on Game Day more than once ripped them for "living at the bakery for all the cupcakes they are playing." It doesn't matter what we think its the espn talking heads who pointed it out last year.

I get playing 1 or maybe 2 easier games, but this is really ridiculous. I mentioned before but when Incarnate Word scrimmaged Smithson Valley high school lets just say it was a tie. Allen, Desoto, etc. would probably beat UIW. Not from here so I don't think you guys may realize how small that program is. Ridiculous they couldn't at least play a Sam Houston State, etc. instead of UIW.

Somehow doubt Briles cares at all about the 'criticism'. He's in the P5 club, has a nationally relevant, Top 10 team that he created from scratch, and he just landed his 5 star QB of the future.

Let's hope Morris can have 1/5th his success.

I don't agree with a lot of things people do... generally because I don't understand the context around the decision.
However, Briles is currently at the top of his game and has brought a mostly irrelevant team to the spot light.
When/if he starts faltering, sure... dog pile on and play arm chair coach.

In the mean time, that list, in order is: nothing.
