Hadn't you heard, half of Briles players are in jail? Sorry, just 1 and Art had already kicked him off the team. Hundreds must be under indictment? Sorry, that number is zero, although several were tossed out of court. What about those group sexual assaults by football players? Go check with ESPN, Texas Monthly, Austin American Statesman and FW Star Telegram as they seem to know it all and should have names of every player involved.

That's the ultimate proof that all of the weeping, wailing, nashing of teeth, and outrage from the media and our own BOR was totally overblown and not worthy of nuking the program and destroying a great coach's future career. One guy (Tevin Elliott) in prison and as you noted Briles had kicked him off the team well before his trial and conviction. I believe SamU (a guy that never played a down of football for Briles) ultimately got convicted of something, and either served minimal or no jail time - and that's it. Briles didn't build what had become a national powerhouse program and win back to back B12 titles on the backs of teams filled with thugs and rapists as the media repeatedly reported and editorialized about or you would've had convictions galore and a lot of former players in prison today. There were more appropriately measured corrective actions that could've been taken far short of what was done, but blowing up everything was a ridiculous over-reaction.

Quite simply, the worst crisis management / PR response ever.
