Look, we all understand you are a little emotional and probably too close to the story via your uncle.
The fact that the school hired him without crazy backlash amazes me. Just goes to show the community was tired of having a crappy team and turned the program over to someone who will win at any cost...

The 50 thing always cracks me up. That is something that a Plaintiff's attorney put in their initial pleading. It has never ever ever been proven to be true, what so ever. In fact, that pleading was thrown out by the judge. Did you know that under Briles only 2 players have EVER been convicted of ANYTHING sexual assault related? One of those two had his charges overturned. So, that brings the grand total to ONE player convicted. Not 50. What someone "accuses" in a civil lawsuit is entirely different than actual criminal evidence/charges/convictions,etc.

I also agree that he messed up in not taking a bigger stance but if anyone actually reads the court records etc, Briles DID report several of the players to the appropriate parties. BAYLOR decided to not take harder next steps on a lot of this. Could Briles have done more and was he in a position to do so, Yes and he absolutely should have. BUT those of you acting like he was in on the rapes or didn't report them to his uppers and AD are incorrect.
I obviously hate what happened and am strong against anything like that happening but those thinking this was 100% Briles are wrong. But that's what happens when the University pays millions of dollars in PR to focus the blame on Briles. How Baylor itself wasn't under more scrutiny is crazy to me. So many high end officials involved or with knowledge from Baylor should've been canned when Briles was.
