Good for Baylor if that is true.

I don't think I can play Baylor football without having my headcoach back leading the charge coach Briles did everything by the books!!!

Wonder if there's a whole bunch in the pepper h report that otherwise would make it impossible to spare briles. Seems like this is the tip of the iceberg

Baylorfans.com scuttle-butt--apparently Phil Bennett will "get his head lopped off" too. That's odd with the season starting in 100 days-surely they can't get a whole new staff in 70 days before fall practice. I wonder if he was the one covering up with the PD or had knowledge that wasn't disclosed

Baylor expected to make defensive coordinator Phil Bennett interim coach, per source. Kendall Briles to remain on staff as of now.

Announced on ticket. Press conference soon.

Very surprised.

Question is where do they go from here?

Really, they need to fire the whole staff. Briles' kid is a [deleted]. Bennett's hands were all over the players in question.

Do they let Bennett coach a year as interim?

Do they run out and hire Phil Montgomery from Tulsa right now?

Glad this is happening now and not next year. Morris is a logical fit, but you can't hire a guy after a single 2-win season at SMU. Can you?

Another strike against the "good-old boys" strategy of doing things in college athletics
