You're seriously arguing that Briles is innocent because other people didn't get busted? (Hint: they have).
Has that defense ever worked? When you get pulled over by a State Trooper and say "whoa, other people are speeding, too!" does he reconsider?
I know being a CAB'r requires a special amount of delusion, but damn. I am wondering how y'all manage to tie your shoes.
I never said he was completely innocent, only that many who were responsible for puting clear procedures in place and training the staff in those procedures bare more blame for our entire campus than he does...yet many of them still have their jobs and have not been made the face of rape nationwide,
this didn't have to be handled as it was... they could have fixed the problem without destroying him... but the deflection onto him kept them well hidden so I guess it worked out for them
So, your point is that Briles didn't deserve getting in trouble for what he did (and there was a lot, not just this one case, but a whole cocktail of them -which his defenders refuse to admit- that led to his firing) because other people didn't get fired as well?
Listen, man. You guys keep trying to minimize each one of his actions as if they happened in a vacuum. They didn't. Then, you point to others and say they should be fired -when their actions actually did happen in much more of a vacuum.
Briles was fired for a ton of reasons, but it all comes down to deliberate indifference He was fired because of some of the "bad dudes" he knowingly had in his program -but still kept. He was fired because he had a system set up to keep him from officially "knowing" things (though we have the text messages to prove he knew a lot more than he let on). He was fired because he kept things away from Judicial Affairs (I can't begin to describe how huge of a deal this is). He was supposedly fired in part because, when given a chance to defend himself to the BOR, he essentially said "I am what I am."
At the end of the day, he doesn't represent what I expect in a coach and figurehead of my Alma Mater. I'd rather suck at football than appearing to condone the actions that happened.
I was a hard-core Briles supporter -and I lost a couple friends because of it- up until he was fired, because I knew the BOR wouldn't fire its most important employee (and President and AD) unless they felt they had to. I thought maybe he'd been scapegoated until I read the text-messages.
Then, I had to face reality.
Try it out. It's hard, but you may survive it.
Interesting.
