6 straight bowl games and he’s fired? Seems to me he did a lot with little.
There must be tons of dirt out there for a wholesale house cleaning like this.
Not performance ... Moral perception.
Woah
From a doormat to a national power and then out the door.
Strange.
Strange?
Come on, this Baylor. Baptist Capitol on the Brazos. It’s the Capitol of strange. Waco, ring any bells? Branch Davidians, Twin Peaks, and ground center for lynchings in Texas, a hundred year reign of homicides...must be something in the water.
It would really be best if they tell it, at least according to what we've heard on local sports media in "other Big 12 markets".
That way they can get on with whatever's next.
A haiku:
Basketball program
Way more important than the
Trail of raped coeds.
Baylor is a private Baptist university. They reflected on their roots, Christian, and said rapist are not who they are. Remember Bill McCartney at U of Colorado. National Championship however he recruited gang members off the streets of LA. He was also fired for the character of people he recruited.
“Basketball program”
Art Briles was the football coach you duffus!
First of all, you can bet UT is knee deep in this. They hated Grant Teaff because he hurt UT’s recruitment by reporting their shenanigans.
Second, there must me a lot for them to fire Briles.
Third, my wife said “This had to happen the year we finally joined the Bear Club.”
Fourth, Baylor’s program will now go back to the cellar. They’ll never find another coach that can do what Briles did.
Finally, I read an article by some left winger that said Starr hid behind the laws of confidentiality”. How do you hide behind a law that says you can’t discuss this stuff and you can’t name names? Bottom line is if a woman is raped she should go to the cops. Not the athletic department.
It is the wrong time of the year to fire the head football coach. He is a good one too. Something aint right at all.
What have you heard in “other Big 12 markets”? That the other schools might now have a chance to win? ha!
If by ‘did a lot’ you mean getting white girls raped by known animals, then, you are correct.
And by the way, were these women jumped by some thug hiding in the shadows or did they accept a date with a thug? Not saying that gives a thug the right to rape a woman and I NEVER blame the women for being raped. But I do BLAME a woman for dating a football thug just because he plays football. And that happens all the time.
With that said, if they’re found guilty they should hang. The problem is the “he said, she said” aspect.
Yep, and it’s the “animals” that can win games. Jimmy the Greek explained it years ago and got into big trouble. He said blacks could run faster because they had to run from lions in Africa. Not an exact quote.
Good. Baylor sold their souls for football wins.
Read up about Dave Bliss.
I remember McCartney was one of the pioneers of the 'White Guilt' movement with his "Promise Keepers" rallies.
