OT: Art Briles is a Scumbag
Seems that Art has no problem using a rape victim to leverage some more money out of Baylor... promising to show up to a deposition and offer an apology and support for her, and then not showing up after he reached a settlement with Baylor the next day.
Highlight: "[Briles] used the threat of helping Jasmin in her lawsuit against Baylor as leverage to negotiate his wrongful termination claim against Baylor," Zalkin said. "He doesn't care about victims. He never cared about victims. He's using victims. He used them to help build up his football program, and now he's using Jasmin to leverage more money out of Baylor."

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.
that want him back? They proposed that he serves a one-year "penalty" and then comes back to coach.
I think the S. E. Massengill company must have their HQ on campus...
win at any cost
So you want him to become a University president??? I would hope not.
Not what I meant, sorry. As in, should not coach again.
You will never confuse me for a fan of Cheaty McSweatervest, but as far as I can recall, his vice was paying players, and acting like he was a pious man while doing so.
I dont recall the Bucks in trouble for rapes being covered up. So while I agree that Tres is a douche, it would seem Briles took it to the proverbial "next level".
I hope he gets Paterno'd.
like, he should be dead. no excuse for what he did.
Is there any doubt that he ends up at an SEC school in under two years?
None whatsoever.

Then NFL will take him with open arms. "Covered up rape" is a prerequisite for a job in that league these days.
I've seen other people suggest he jump to the NFL. What NFL team would want him, even without his rape scandal? His offense at Baylor is pretty far off of what NFL teams run, and seems to take a far amount of flack as the exact kind of offense that leaves its players woefully unprepared to play at the pro level.
Not to mention, as bad as they are at actually dealing with it, the NFL definitely has a PR problem of its own that it's trying to manage regarding violence against women. Briles' involvement in the Baylor rape scandal absolutely is baggage the NFL doesn't want to deal with.
Not for head coach, but I think he's destined for a position coaching job. He could move up to a coordinator job eventually and show he can run a more NFL friendly scheme.
What position? Certainly not QB probably not OLine, WR, or TE. RB?
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.
Reign of terror?

It was filled with terror for the coeds, and Briles is partially responsible.
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.
What exactly is your problem with ducks? I think they're nice.
I like mallards and other various types. Not so big on that Oregon breed. Seems like they are a relatively new variation and don't really know how to act like a traditional duck.
They probably don't taste as good as a Mallard, either...
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.
It's not criminal but in a civil court he's probably going to lose every penny he got for this stunt. A half ass lawyer should be able to easily prove Briles added to her emotional pain and suffering if this is true.
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.
Lorena Bobbitt some how comes to mind - ouch!
I hear Draymond Green has some free time now.
Perfect.

He's busy supporting Cleaves and Dawson during their trying times.

+1 for you Mr Clay Davis
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...
except your last line about football fans, your painting with a very large brush and you covered all of us.
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.
You have to think they've sunk their own program. I wouldn't let my son go there for a million dollars anymore.

go to any of those schools down south. They have a different way of "looking" at women they seem to quik to want to blame the women for wearing clothes that are perceived to be promiscuous. I can't help but ask should we be telling women to dress in Burkas?
that's the wrong finger!
Can any MGoLawyers out there explain to me how this is not a criminal offense?

Oh, a promise is not enforceable.

Almost every politician would be in jail if it was
I would say 100% of politicians!!
Odds Briles is ever a D1 head coach ever again?
89%. 3 years down the line at an SEC school dying to be the next Auburn (team with meh history who's willing to take a huge risk for wins and $$).
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Well, Auburn seems to fit that profile. That is, if Malzahn doesn't start winning more games in conference again.
He'll show up at a mid-major next season. His program was trash but I think he is escaping any charges, right? Someone will pick him up. 100%
no way. this guy is branded right now and any institution would face way too much back lash if they hired him. maybe in 3 or 4 years after this has cooled and the next big scandal is all over the news, but not anytime soon.
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.
Bobby petrino had a consenting affair with an of age female. he covered up the consenting relationship. apples to oranges.
He so gave her a job with a little to much salary and spent money on her that really was not for her. Of course it was at Arkansas so what the hell.
