Now THATS a football coach right there! You couldn't post this on the premium board without getting screamed at by the usual suspects.

I bet Art makes a solid football team out of these guys. I wonder which D1 school will have the balls to hire him first

---

Probably an sec Mississippi school

Don't forget to add ENMU as a favorite school. I'm sure that's something that gets tracked. Really looking forward to seeing a CAB team back in action after years of Arandaball.

is that former Midway coach, Jeff Hulme, as associate head Coach and DC? That's nuts

Saw the 60 Minutes segment tonight on Indiana's National Championship Football team. They went from worst to first in three seasons. That could have been us had our Regents decided not to blow up Baylor Football.

---

It could not have been us because Art Briles had already been here for seven years and at no point did we get to first (in the nation). Look, I really enjoyed the Art Briles years, but there is just a lot of revisionist history around him. He was not Bear Bryant (and he wasn't Curt Cignetti, for that matter).

Bryant, no. Cignetti, no. However, in ALL of Baylor football history, there was never a match for the excitement, confidence, euphoria that was generated amongst our fans than in his era. His approach to offense was hard for defenses then. Probably today the elite teams would do a better job defending it; however, victories, excitement, and confidence would still be hanging around. Tough to deny..

No doubt, he was the most successful coach in Baylor history (you can argue overall legacy with Grant Teaff), and it was definitely the most exciting era. But in terms of him leading us to national championships or having us as a perennial top 5 team, that did not happen and I don't think was set to happen. We would have stayed near the top of the Big 12, but it's a big jump from "perennial Big 12 contender" to "national title contender." We never even came close to pulling off what Cignetti just pulled off at Indiana.

And I think winning heals all. Art Briles was able to have us win consistently in the Big 12. But I got just as much enjoyment out of the 2021 season as I did the 2013 or 2014 seasons. This idea that winning was somehow more fun because it was Art Briles leading us to victories is weird to me. But a lot of fans on this board seem to feel that way.

Art had the good fortune of following Dave Robert's and his 4-18 record and 2-14 Big 12. Then it got even worse with Kevin Steele who posted a 9-36 overall & a horrific 1-31 in Big 12

He was helped along by Guy Morriss who put up an 18-40 overall and a 7-33 Big 12

Baylor fans weren't on life support, we were dead and buried. Art started digging us up in 2008 & 2009 with back-to-back 4-8 seasons overall and 3-13 Big 12. 2010 was the turning point with a 7-6 season, our first winning season in 15 years!

To go from 15 years of embarrassment to going 10-3, 8-5, 11-2, 11-2 & 10-3 was more success than Baylor folks had had ever seen before.

The best season in Baylor history, 2021 with a Sugar Bowl win and a 12-2 record with 5 wins over ranked opponents, gets lost after going 17-21 afterwards.
