OT: Art Briles is a Scumbag

It would have been in really poor taste for him to have shown up to that hearing.

He's a real douche canoe. I hope he gets Tressel'd.

I think scumbag is much nicer than the terms he should be called. I think he should be held liable for every rape that occurred under his reign of terror. This guy should be locked up.

Disgusting if he showed up given what he allowed to happen. Disgusting the way the school has handled it. Disgusting what he did. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. The whole situation is disgusting.

In what world is this not a criminal offense? The guy should be in jail yet somehow is cashing in on this whole thing. Only in America.

I do hope someone without a family and nothing to lose kicks him square in the sack as hard as they can a few dozen times.

When you think Baylor fans cannot sink any lower, they prove you wrong once again...

Look at this winner on Baylor Fan's site on this topic:

That's it. No one else owes her anything IMO.

And they are talking about a girl who got dragged away by the football player and raped.

Football fans are the worst...

At this point, I am pretty sure that Art Briles and really the entirety of Baylor's athletic department has blown away the field for the Fickle Finger Of Fate award, so here you go, Coach Briles and company, for your unwavering ability to be tone deaf, defiant, even smugly vindictive and calculatingly cold in the face of the suffering you have caused to others. 

Can any MGoLawyers out there explain to me how this is not a criminal offense?

Odds Briles is ever a D1 head coach ever again?

I still find this whole sordid story hard to fathom and very disappointing. Briles should be motivated by shame to do the right things where he can. This ugly shit seems to add insult to injury from where I'm sitting.

Whilst I agree Briles may be scum, there is nothing in this that is surprising. No doubt his settlement with Baylor has a gag order. And that is likely to have been mandated by Baylor.

There is nothing offered by the writer (or the attorney) to show that Briles "used" his promise solely/primarily as a threat against Baylor. He may well have planned to do just what was stated.

I sure don't view a plaintiff's attorney as a reliable source.

And no, I'm not defending Briles. Just tired of the hack media that places a priority on grabbing headlines. And I find it sad that so many of us are wiling to believe whatever is written - as long as it's what we want to hear.

PS - I already quit drinking. Now I'm going to bed!

Why not another job? Bobby Petrino ring a bell. If Penn state could win again under Joe Pa they would have him dug up tonight . Scumbags and we never hear most of what goes on.

Is this news? I mean, he's a large reason why Baylor was as terrible a place as it was for sexual assault victims.

Pat Haden doesn't want us to forget to include him on the list.  

While not quite on the same level of overall "scumbagginess" as Briles, Haden apparently has ( for over 15 years) been dipping into a foundation that was set up in the late 40's to benefit deserving low-income students with academic scholarships.  

Proving himself just as greedy as any other scumbag, Haden collected $1.2 million in fees from the Mayr Foundation while his sister-in-law  'earned' over $750,000 and his daughter raked in $470,000 between 1999 and 2014, the last year that the LA Times was able to put together complete documentation (although the flow of $$$ didn't stop until Haden, feeling the heat of the investigation, very recently stepped down as chairman).

Not only have the 3 of them claimed a total of over $2.4 million for doing little actual work  for those 15 years,  but Haden also funneled $1.76 million to USC over that same time period, most of which went to the USC Athletic Department.  The $$$ flowing to USC dwarfs what any other educational institution received over those 15 years----USC received nearly 4 times as much as the next highest recipient.

My grandpa used to say of acts by deplorable men like this- "The chickens will come home to roost." What concerns me even more is that he used to be a high school coach. Who knows what he's gotten away with to this point.

PS: Selling an authentic Desmond Howard jersey on eBay. Bidding is at $30 right now (!). Don't snooze on it.

OP is a person of considerable restraint.

I know these kind of things can cost college football or sports in general millions from fans that are on the fence and people thinking about following along. I know personally that all this crap from Joe Pa to this Pat Haden thing (I had never heard of till this morning) leaves a bad taste in my mouth and causes me to wonder when I am defending my love for college football over pro football or Nascar and others.

Especially in the SEC and south.

What a broke dick piece of shit. I can't imagine any school wanting to hire this fuck after this. Wait. Yes I can.
