Don't bring back Briles, but for the love of God can we at least hire someone who knows how to put together an high powered offense?

No, Baylor is not a Baptist school and hasn't been since 1992. And what is a BOD, Board of directors?
You sure you are a preacher? BOD = Board of Directors, or for those of us with common sense, Board of Dunces. The makeup is required to be majority, you missed it, Baptist.
Why?

How many years did we give Briles before he figured out how to run something besides a bubble screen?

The guy was trying to raise the dead. The three coaches before him had gone 10-78 in conference in the preceeding fifteen years before he was hired. Just to sense how remarkable Briles was for Baylor football, he climbed to .500 in conference play in his third year, had a winning record in conference play every year thereafter, took the program to six consecutive bowl games (winning half of them), and won back to back conference championships.

Curious if Aranda and Grimes ever watch game film of Baylor 2010-2015? Or did Mack instruct them not to as it conjures up a dark period in BU history. Seems its watched in film rooms around the country with much interest on a regular basis.

It's been 7 years and we have won a Big XII title and Sugar Bowl. Let it go.

Who knows. "That's not what our offensive philosophy is" might be the answer. Decisions have consequences.

And here is a list of other football HCs in our entire football history that accomplished anything remotely close to that:

Letting it go is a hard thing to do when every week of football season is a pointed reminder that it was one of the worst personnel decisions in the history of the school.

I'll take the excitement over the single game. I don't value the Big 12 Championship game as much as I would a regular season title.

The boring plays put me to sleep year after year after Briles and Co.
Why?

Trump has an excellent chance of being re-elected. Nothing he or any else can say or do will slow down his popularity.

Briles will never return to Baylor.


1. That's what folks inside a small bubble tell themselves. Just like Bear fan site insiders who thought we were back. Trump is the only way the Rs lose, just like the last several elections. To quote you, nothing he can say or do will change that reality.

2. Agree. Briles may come back but not here. Damaged goods are damaged goods.

We know Briles won't come back. No way he would and no way the school would. It's a bit of sarcasm due to how we royally screwed ourselves and where we are today. Mack enjoys hiring coaches that are yes men, coaches that aren't bigger than him. Hence, the past coaching hires.

And UTSA, which was worse than Texas State.

Linda should call Mack to her office at 8am Monday. Cut his salary by 1/3 and put him on notice anymore repeats of his pathetic hiring will call for equal reductions.

Instead they will probably pull an Olsteen and break bread over high tea.
Why?

I don't think I'm in the bubble you are referring to, more like an observer of the bubble. Trump polls higher with each legal issue (and many other issues) that arise. He plays the victim and Republican support grows each day. Significant negatives are forgotten or brushed away with conspiracies, while the GOP Trump freight train gathers steam.

I'm curious what you see that will slow down his popularity among Republicans? I'm certainly not a fan. What is the small bubble that you are referring to?

If you can put aside your love or hate towards Briles and think about this logically - this thread is pure fantasy and absolutely pointless.

Briles has been 'hired' by at least 3 different places (colleges and CFL) over the past 7 years, all of whom had to immediately backtrack on the hire due to media backlash.

Briles is never coming back. Stop wasting time thinking about something that will never happen.

If you insist on fantasy, why not just create a thread titled "We are going to win the CFP this year", instead.

That last sentence was the mantra of the Premium side before last nights game. Today they probably reduced their expectations to Big 12 champs.

Yep

We torched Briles to the point no one can hire him ever again

It was the epitome of self righteous Christian behavior

Now that I've attempted to inject some reality into the thread, your suggestion is the next step.

This thread isn't about reality

It's catharsis

He doesnt need that. He's okay with last night so this thread has flown over his head.

Briles was absolutely the scapegoat for the university and should be given his job back with backpay. It is a shame what happened to this man. Look around and see true scumbags that are head coaches and think about if something like this happened to you at your job. He was led to believe he would be suspended and brought back and probably had to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Very similar to what is happening to Trump while You know who hasn't even been charged with anything.

Exactly. Reality simply is not welcome right now since the reality we face until Aranda is gone is not a good one. He cannot recruit and he likely never will be able to. You either got it or you don't.

Why would Briles do that?
