Briles off the board

[java]

This is UT's method of op. It's what we did with regard to Barnett when Mack was hired. Gave GB a chance to withdraw name. He did. The rest is history.

Waco, Texas - Baylor University head football coach Art

Briles released this statement this morning concerning media speculation

surrounding his interest in other college or professional coaching opportunities

following the Bears' most successful season in school history:

"I have no desire to pursue other coaching positions," Baylor coach Art

Briles said. "As I've said many times, I am both humbled and honored to be

the head coach at Baylor University, and believe we have something special going

here. I look forward to leading the Bears onto the field next fall at McLane

Stadium and defending our Big 12 championship that our players and coaches

worked so hard to win this season.

"There is tremendous excitement for our program's future, and I look forward

to many more great seasons at Baylor," he added. "There is tremendous commitment

from our University leadership, athletic administration, coaches and

student-athletes - it truly is a great time to be a Baylor Bear."

Briles' restoration of Baylor's football program to an elite national level

received an exclamation point in 2013 with a Big 12 Conference title, first-ever

BCS bowl berth and a school-record 11 wins. Baylor spent eight consecutive weeks

ranked in the top 10, and its powerhouse offense shattered the NCAA record for

points scored (681, 29 more than previous record). BU also set all-time

attendance marks (45,948 average, 51,728 single-game) in its final season at

Floyd Casey Stadium in 2013.

His successes earned Briles 2013 coach of the year honors from the league

coaches (Chuck Neinas award) as well as the AP and Sporting News. He earned

finalist honors from the Eddie Robinson, Paul "Bear" Bryant, Bobby Bowden and

Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year awards as well as being named the 2013 AFCA

Region 4 Coach of the Year for the second time in three years. Briles ranks as

the third-winningest coach in Baylor history (44-32 in six seasons) and owns an

11-year collegiate record of 78-60.

So either
1. He cancelled it because he's not interested,

2. We cancelled it because he changed his mind and told us he's not interested, or

3. We cancelled it because we have a deal with someone else.

4. Texas does not hire coaches who give up 52 points in their bowl game.
