Is his stock falling with this game? Dumb fake on extra point, 8 first half penalties, and down 8 to a team you're favored by over 2 tds

Nope...he's perfect for the UT job at this point.Quote:

These coaches will realize one day that defense is not something that is optional to play. New era of offenses or not
They play in a league with high flying offenses. Texas high schools are score-happy too. There going to have to be a little flashy on offense.Quote:

Now 16 penalties...Quote:

As for the penalties, that game was as sloppy as I think I've seen in a BCS game, between costly penalties and turnovers (first half especially, I dozed off in the second.) Baylor was constantly tugging on receivers jerseys downfield- I don't know if B12 refs are more lax on that or what.
I certainly could've missed bad snap. I hope I did.Quote:

That is how I remember it too.Quote:

Re-read that sentence.
Briles got to Baylor in 2009. Before then they had not made it to a bowl since 1994. Since he has arrived, he has gone to 4 straight bowl games and two top 15 finishes.
I swear this 140 character world is going to kill us all.
I'm not saying briles isn't a good coach. He is. I just think his style is better suited for teams with less talent and teams with superior talent. Briles is great for Baylor, but I feel texas can do better. If it's fisher, strong, or briles, I'd choose in that order. In fact, I'd choose petrino over brilesQuote:
