Baylor Controversy: Should Briles go?

[Mr. E]

Several instances of rape, assault and the reaction by coaching staff and administration at Baylor are under a swiftly intensifying spotlight.

My phone rang less than five minutes after I tweeted about Wednesday's "Outside the Lines" report on more allegations of violence against Baylor football players. It was the first of nine calls and texts I received over the course of the day from college coaches talking about this latest investigation into Baylor's handling of sexual violence cases involving its program.

"They're gonna have to fire him, aren't they?" a veteran college coach asked.

"Him" is head coach Art Briles, the man who took a perennial Big 12 doormat and made it into a powerhouse. Briles even got a fancy new stadium built. The 60-year-old is 32-7 the past three seasons at a place that hadn't had a single winning season in the 13 years before he took over in 2008.

he's officially gone. he deserves it too

[Mr. E]

So far Briles is fired, Starr has resigned as president and the AD has been placed on probation.

A lot of the details that have been reported so far are even more damning than I suspected they would be.

The response to the report by Baylor.

it's really depressing that people put football over the safety of others, this greed that is saturating sports around the world is getting quite scary.
