"all this back and forth is a bunch of idiotic crap.....regardless of how we got here, we are here and no amount of b!tiching and moaning about it is going to change anything. as for CAB,CKB, or Phil Bennett I wish them the best of luck but could give 2 ****s less what they did last week. I loved CAB as our coach, but his time here is over....not happy so far with CMR but time will tell if he was the right choice. There is absolutely no way to know if he can get it turned around in 3 games but as frustrated as I am, i will never turn my back on Baylor over a football coach. Oh, and we still have the dancing nuggs, and now a little tykes basketball goal.....what the fuq is that all about. I'm ready to get back to playing with the big boys, not the playground.
I agree with pretty much all of this.
Now if we can get the people that hate Briles to shut up about him we would largely stop talking about him/them. Unfortunately they feel the need to lie about his football success, which you'd think would be undeniable, and that creates this back and forth.
I do not start a reality check Briles post unless one of you boy-toy lovers puts up a pitiful post about how he did nothing wrong, ran a clean program or that the BOR is to blame for this entire mess.
The embarrassing posts supporting a coach who used Baylor like a hooker down on Elm Street need an equal number of non-support posts. I am happy to oblige given the damage The Briles Clan did while leaving. If they could not tear it up they ______ on it so as to leave alumni with a "gift that keeps on giving".
Nobody denies the W-L record Briles put up. He left as one of Baylor's Top 5 coaches and nearly won a few top tier bowl games. He nearly won out in conference play every year and nearly got the UT job. Nearly.
New name perhaps? NEARLY Art Briles.
I should probably be fair and let you know I've got you on ignore, but I revealed this post assuming it was a response to me...and it was.
It's comments like "one of Baylor's top 5 coaches" and most of your "nearly" comments that are so nonsensical. He's clearly the best Xs and Os coach we've ever had, and one of the best offensive coaches ever. Neither of those statements are debatable by an objective person.
Also, it's not like he retired and we saw what he ended up being on his own terms, and he wasn't fired or asked to retire due to being past his prime so we'll never really know what his team would've looked like in a few more years. Those "nearly" moments happened with very few 4* players on the roster, but that was changing. Maybe he wins 5 national titles, maybe he loses 5 more big bowl games. We'll never know.
What I do know is he's a great football coach, and I long for the day when I can say that about our coach again. Maybe Rhule improves, but anyone should've gone 2-0 this year. Anyone. If this were a Briles team you'd be criticizing him like crazy, and rightfully so, but since he's gone you leave the new guy alone for some reason and STILL go after the guy that's gone. He's gone, you can stop kicking his carcass and discuss the actual play on the field any day now.
Are you really Gary Patterson? I didn't know Art could live rent-free in 2 people's heads at once.
