Hypothetical HC hire

[BayouDawg]

Yeah but can you pull for a team led by him or tell your kids to respect him? No on briles, period. It's not going to happen at State, thank goodness.

Oh I'm not saying hire Briles at all. I just could care less about the media backlash. when a team like auburn or Oregon hires him though there won't be much backlash at all. Just like if we Had released Simmons and he had gone to bama or unm there wouldn't have been any backlash. Bottom line is the media craps on us because we allow it.
Also I think a lot of this has to do with most of your journalists in Texas are from UT. If this type of scandal had happened at UT the story would have never seen the light of day. Just like the Tennessee incident has been neatly swept under the rug.

You're absolutely right, we shouldn't hire Briles based on what the media might say. We shouldn't hire Briles because we don't need to be associated with him period and his defenses suck and then you have the media backlash that someone's going to get when they do hire him.......I just don't want it to be my team getting the backlash.

Oh I completely understand. I'm just saying don't be surprised if and when an Auburn or an Oregon hires Briles there won't be much if any backlash. They'll tell the media types where they can shove it. We on the other hand allow the media to do as they please to us. See the Simmons ordeal at SEC media days as exhibit A

Here is my take. We are in the SEC west, We Are MSU. We can't do it like everyone else. we have to play out on the edge. The MCGuffin in this Story is recruiting. For little ole MSU to have a chance we must recruit like a Mfer . Now saying that who is the recruitingest mfer out there? The big O. He would be my number one. They I tell everyone to kiss my ass and sign Art Briles to come in with a hard on. I'm tired of being a big *****, you are either all in or get the **** out.

Many of the money guys and guys in power want to win and are trying to shake things up for it to happen. But Briles is not what they want to lead our program, recognize even with the disconnect with Mullen now that he has cleaned up and built a lot of foundation that they do not want Briles possibly destroying. Not to mention they do not want to give the NCAA a reason to be watching our program closely. Briles is an immediate lightening rod that only a few schools can withstand. Unless something changes drastically, just erase Briles from the discussion.

Count me out then... condoning rape is not worth winning football games to me

[Virgil Caine]

How could you feel safe sending your kids to MSU if Briles is the HC?

[dawgs]

jeff brohm at western kentucky should be considered. willie taggart at usf should also get a look.

[BayouDawg]

Only State could squander the momentum of reaching #1 in less than 2 years with nothing to show for it. I mean why can't we have nice things?

Condoning rape, a little extreme view there . Where ever Briles goes the chances of condoned rape are zero.He won't let mistake happen again. If you are worried about having a HC that is Rape aware then it would be Briles.

That's one of the weakest arguments to hiring a coach that morally bankrupted himself just to win games. He even lied about bringing a transfer on his team that had been dismissed from Boise because of an accusation. Peterson told him not to take him and why he was dismissed and Briles lied, saying he was never informed. Peterson publically called him out on the lie. This was before the investigation and being publically called out by one of his peers didn't cause him to reevaluate what he was doing.

Matt Rhule

If you can win at Temple, you can win anywhere. However I am sure he is waiting on the Penn St job as he turned down Syracuse and one other last year.

But he would be a good one to interview.

[RougeDawg]

Do you think there's one Louisville fan right now that gives a shit about what Petrino did at Arkansas to get fired or are they all too busy being thrilled with their top 10 team?

Anyone who cannot see why we not any respectable program should go near briles, needs a serious reality check. Aiding the coverup and silencing of crimes is never acceptable.

Briles isn't going to rape anybody.

[msstate7]

Briles isn't going to rape anybody.

And he won't tell on you if you do

[Really Clark?]

Briles isn't going to rape anybody.

But he is ok bringing one to your campus just so he can win games and have staff members intimidate victims to keep the kids eligible and the issue covered up.

[sleepy dawg]

Pump the brakes on O. He's coached 1 game at LSU.

[DudyDawg]

Briles isn't going to rape anybody.

Neither would Paterno. Wouldn't want anyone with those kinds of problems

Why is Baylor giving him money for a settlement?

[Really Clark?]

Why is Baylor giving him money for a settlement?

They settled in 24 hours instead of having another lawsuit going at the same time and they did not want further information coming out from the full investigation report. Briles was threatening to sue over wrongful termination and other claims and threatened to pull out as a co-Defendant with the University vs a victim who brought a lawsuit against them. It was strickly a leverage play as they were already in settlement talks over his remaining contract to get more money for that buyout. What also came out over his extorting them for more money, was during this 24 hour period when Briles attorney filed these motions, including seperating themselves from the Universities council in the lawsuit, they called the victims attorneys to say they would be at the mediation the following day to support and APOLOGIZE to her and her family. Then let that information get leaked solely for the purpose of extorting a bigger settlement. They settled in 24 hours and neither Briles nor his Attorney showed up to the mediation and have never apologized as they promised. The victims attorney immediately informed the press what happened and publically stated that they used the threat of helping the victim as a negotiation leverage. He doesn't give one damn about those girls, the cover up or the fact his staff intimidated victims to keep them silent. But this moot, our Pres and power people are not going to sacrifice our integrity to bring on this snake. And that's not just speculation. Many many many things and people would have to do a 180 for he to even get a call to interview.
