Briles...FWIW

[jfwilljr]

Much has been made on this board and elsewhere that in his interview earlier this week that Briles never said he was staying at Baylor or that he wouldn't consider going to Texas. For what it's worth...Baylor Bear Insider reports that Briles told Baylor BMD Bob Simpson that "[i'm] staying." Simpson told several reporters after the Fiesta Bowl debacle that Briles told him he's not leaving for the Texas job, even if it's offered.

Frankly, imho, if that's true, that's a relief. I think Briles has done a good job with the talent he has, at least offensively, but I don't think he's a fit at Texas. It's better for Texas (most importantly) and the health of the Big XII overall if he stays where he is...not to mention the side benefit of having another strong program to help deflect talent from Aggy.

Whenever I would try to see the case for Briles all I had to do was think about his bumpkin monotone ass on LHN and I would quickly realize that it would never work. Patterson has to keep espn in the fold as well as BMDs and I can't see ESPN liking this at all.

If your Briles and your leaving, would you tell the BMD that you're leaving? I doubt it.

I too hope it is not Briles. I know he has had great offenses and he has resurrected the Baylor program. But, I just don't see him at Texas and never have. Briles is where he needs to be and hopefully all involved will come to the same conclusion.

This is like Rosie O'Donnell telling us she has decided to NOT pose nude.
