Art Briles wont be leaving Baylor

[Coach34]

reported they are offering him a 10 yr/45MM contract extension with a 5MM buyout.

Texas fans are not happy

[ShotgunDawg]

Is a 5MM buyout that big of deal for Texas?

Why do Texas fans care about Art Briles? They got Nick Saban.

They already agreed to it. He ain't going anywhere unless the nfl comes calling. The days of hiring wildly successful HCs from other major conference schools is pretty much over. There will be exceptions, but overall, everyone has $$ to pay the HCs now.

Sure everyone pays coaches better, but there's places where coaches can win on a much bigger scale. Coaches love the money no doubt, but career aspirations will push some coaches to larger programs

I wouldn't put it past Texas to pay the necessary buyout and grab him.

briles is already 57 though, about to turn 58. i don't know that a college program is going to be willing to pay a buyout for a guy that's getting up there in years. and i don't know that he'd wanna take on teh bullshit that came with being the HC at texas or another mega-program.
