Should Baylor fire Art Briles?

[Haverhill]

Amidst continuing allegations, should Baylor fire Art Briles?

 

[VeloClone]

Hell, yes.


Of course it wouldn't do my favorite team any harm...

 

[Rural]

With extreme prejudice.

 

[CYCLNST8]

If I'm Baylor- just keep sweeping it under the rug as long as the wins continue.

Nailed it.

Look the other way until student athletes start killing each other. Oh wait,................

 

[clones26]

just win...until you don't then you're fired

No one cares about crime victims as long as the football team is winning.

 

[klamath632]

Yes, he should be fired. He wins too much.

 

[00clone]

Voted yes strictly on the fact that I'm an ISU fan.

What did I miss? This still the continuing sexual assault fiasco?

many other allegations

Hey how can he be expected to keep track of all those people and their personal lives. They are adults and should be responsible for their own actions and decisions.

 

[jsmith86]

Fire Briles, vacate all wins in the years that the alleged actions occurred.

 

[jkclone]

Selfishly yes but realistically no. At least until they finish the investigation or whatever. If he knew about it and covered it up then yes if not no.

 

[ISU85]

It's not like he sent a text message to a recruit or something heinous like that. wink:

Fire Briles, vacate all wins in the years that the alleged actions occurred.

That makes us eligible for at least one other bowl game if I remember correctly. Might be more but I am pretty sure we made one more.

The NCAA needs to step in at some point.

Just like with Penn St, i think its the NCAA's responsibility sometimes to ensure that schools dont put football above the core academic mission, and protecting students\kids. When universities put football success over that core mission, they should be punished in a way that makes it a clear disincentive for others to do so in the future.

It doesn't...the year we had 5 wins we didn't have a loss to Baylor.

I know this isn't how vacating wins works but if we got wins by default, our records would be:

2008 - from 2-10 to 3-9 (lost to Baylor 10-38)
2009 - stays 7-6 (beat Baylor 24-10)
2010 - stays 5-7 (didnt play Baylor)
2011 - from 6-7 to 7-6 (lost to Baylor 26-49) but who knows at 7-5 we mightve drawn/won a different bowl game
2012 - stays 6-7 (beat Baylor 35-21)
2013 - from 3-9 to 4-8 (lost to Baylor 7-71)
2014 - from 2-10 to 3-9 (lost to Baylor 28-49)
2015 - from 3-9 to 4-8 (lost to Baylor 27-45)

It's not just what his players have done. Think about the assaults that Baylor has committed on our football team the past few years. Most people would get 25-to-life for the acts they committed against us on the football field.
