Mac's not finished

"I'm not sure I was not fired for Baylor's PR purposes," he said. "I can't explain why they would give me a substantial amount of money or pay out a lot of other employees. And I understand contracts. People can make their own decisions."
BOR thought firing him would make Baylor look good.
In reality it just opened up a can of worms.
All because there was no smoking gun.

Big picture, Mac is keeping Baylor in the news to the detriment of the university. Happy for CAB but Mac is not in this to do CAB favors.
Board screwed this up so bad and now they cant make it go away.

Briles lands job coaching football with Italian team
Former Baylor coach Art Briles has accepted a job as head coach of the Guelfi Firenze team in Florence, Italy.
Art Briles has a job coaching football again.
The former Baylor head football coach has agreed to a contract to coach the Guelfi Firenze American Football team, located in Florence, Italy, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Thursday. The team later confirmed the hiring on its website.
Briles coached Baylor for eight seasons, winning a pair of Big 12 championships, before being fired in 2016 in the fallout from the Pepper Hamilton investigation into the school's sexual assault problems. Briles did not immediately return calls from the Tribune-Herald on Thursday.
This marks the second coaching position that Briles, 62, has landed since that time, both outside of the United States. In August 2017, the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats briefly hired Briles as an offensive assistant coach. However, his tenure didn't even last one full day, as the Tiger-Cats backed out of the decision after criticism from league officials, fans and media.

In all honesty I see this as a one year working vacation in Italy and then back to the United States of America to coach Ohio State.
I've been lots worse places than Florence, Italy. Gorgeous, great food, wine, art, architecture
But I also wonder if I could get in shape for about 60 days and make that team.

Wait I have read for years on this site and the old one that Briles would never coach again at any level? I am sure those people that said that the most (X) will come on and say something about it being in Italy, blah blah blah even though they have said he was done at any level.
Should RGIII brush up on his Italian?

You are the villiage idiot though I ll gladly admit to be wrong about this Italian job. Eddy Jv wasn't available?
He's going to be coaching against guys like you and me. You are right he is back coaching at a level.
Why couldn't he get hired by the topless powder puff league? Make non pay board a good read read.
What sport is he coaching in the Spring? Badminton?
When I first heard on the news earlier that he landed a job coaching in Italy, my first thought was he was getting into HS coaching again.
Lmao! Remember when the worshippers were saying he would have a SEC job in a year?
Italy! Lmao!
Italy! Lmao!

Big question is will he win more than one game?

Unfortunately, he can only have 2 American born players. Start the fake Italian names in 3,2,1...

It is obvious you have failed to see that a TCU fanboy is posting under tarpfan. Please deal with this immediately. Also, I find it unbelievably sad that fanboys will go to the lengths of actually paying a rival's message board for access to information. Truly pathetic behavior.

Quick, go trademark these phrases in the EU:
lavora duro e sii umile
vai a prendere i tuoi sogni
nessuna pressione, nessun diamante
The bigger question is: will you and your son continue to ride CAB's nuts 6000 miles across the Atlantic?REX said:EGOTbear said:

Good. Maybe that will keep his time at Baylor out of the American news cycle for a while.
You're not very honest with yourself then.Jacques Strap said:

CAB at Ohio State is LULZ.
What a feather in your CABer hat, there's more prestige in a UIL popwarner league than going to Europe to coach what is essentially a club league of amateurs.cowboycwr said:

It's like a 30 year old bragging about putting a puzzle together made for 6 and under kids.

Silas is already over there as an All-Star in Germany. Maybe he gets to play against his former coach.BearTooth said:How funny would that be?EasyE said:

You going to be OK?
Per IRS records, Briles received nearly $18 million when he left Baylor.
This was the only real interesting line in the article.

$18 mil and a retirement gig in Florence, Italy? I can think of worse things.

Yep, hope he enjoys it. I guess he'll have a translator, but look forward to the nicknames for each Italian, in Italian.
