Good for Baylor if that is true.

Series of tweets from Baylor LB Taylor Young about Art Briles. @CraigSmoak and @McMurphyESPN reporting he's fired.


@tyoung_01
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

BREAKING: Baylor dismisses head football coach Art Briles, source tells @McMurphyESPN.

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

[SMU Football Blog]

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?

[stangsup4]

Gotta keep Chad away from that job.

[CalallenStang]

Go get all the recruits

[Stallion]

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

[Pony Boss]

Hopefully we can win this game vs a demoralized Baylor! Go Ponies!
