AAS is reporting Briles

[LA_Mustang]

will accept the UT job if offered. It's on the ESPN crawl.

[SMU 86]

If he does not get the Texas job that statement will not come across very well for the Baylor fans imo.

[LA_Mustang]

My first thought too

[BigT3x]

Uh, I don't think anyone would have expected Briles to turn UT down.

[BIGHORSE]

Maybe Baylor would hire Bennett?

[LA_Mustang]

A week after accepting an extension? And you're going to a conference rival. I can't ever remember that happening

True but after signing a 10 year contract you would think he would at least have more respect for Baylor and just keep those commits to himself.

so far everyone seems to be using Texas to get contract extensions and pay raises; will see how Briles & Baylor plays out

He just got his raise last week after the speculation of him going to Texas.

[LA_Mustang]

Whether it's UT or the Redskins, I'm sure Baylor is preparing to find a new coach

[mrydel]

Maybe Baylor is not giving permission for UT to contact Briles and this is Briles way of reaching out to them.

[H-E-B Mustang]

During the game last night, the TV announcers quoted him as saying something about coaching just being a business. No loyalty, just follow the dollars. I forget the exact statement and context, but I took note of it. Reading between the lines, it seems he may have been tipping off his thought process and his decision.

I hope Texas hires Briles! Make it easier to beat Baylor next year!

I wouldn't be surprised is Strong still gets a close look

Didn't Todd Graham bolt Rice to go back to Texas a few days after signing a long extension? I think so.
