USM interviewing Art Briles.

[Predestined]

Wow.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Desperate people do desperate things.

 

[Charlie Varney]

USM football has one foot on the grave, what have they got to lose. That said, I would be shocked if their President lets this happen.

 

[dorndawg]

Guess they waited to announce this until after Stugotz did Weekend Observations*

 

[RPOdawg]

Would be a good hire. It’s USM they have nothing to lose.

 

[aTotal360]

...in Hell.

 

[FQDawg]

Would be a good hire. It’s USM they have nothing to lose.

Art Briles is a morally bankrupt, ****** excuse for a human being. He makes Hugh Freeze look like the person Hugh Freeze thinks he is.

In no universe would it be a "good hire."

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

That's ********. This guy would be a horrible hire. He's a horrible human. He should never ever find a job on any college campus. He's toxic.

Would be a good hire. It’s USM they have nothing to lose.

I dont see this happening. First cause of the money. Second we have ran from others with baggage.
Petrino years ago bugged the crap out of everyone his brother had contacts with in Hattiesburg.

We have a very good young asst that many want to see elevated before we lose him.

 

[AlSwearengen]

Wait, did usm’s HC resign? I’m in H’burg and had no idea.

 

[wpmusm]

This is for OC.

"One foot on the grave?" Please elaborate. I mean they've been winning since Hopson got there. Sure they aren't world beaters, but Hopson took over a team in shambles and they are respectable now.

 

[wpmusm]

USM is in much better shape than we were 2012-14 (mostly thanks to Monken). But we’re still just mediocre and haven’t won a weak conference since Fedora left. Fan apathy with the football program is at an all-time high.

Can’t tell you how many comments I’ve seen on Facebook and on forums that are to the effect of “anything to stop the free fall” or “what do we have to lose?”.

 

[13thEagle]

im changing tunes. I think this is about to happen ad Jeff bower will be in the ad's chair about may.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

UConn might be in a worse situation. Link: Here. Also: Here.

 

[JungRebel]

They should hire him.

 

[Charlie Varney]

USM is seriously and I mean seriously low on $$$$$. When I say their football has one foot on the grave, I am not referring to wins and losses. That said, they didn't even make a bowl last year in the worst conference in the G5. As for Hopson, I believe he inherited a solid team from Monken. Monken is the one that inherited a disaster.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Wow! Even though I agree that at this time, It is best that USM pass on this guy, at some point in a few more years, after he has served his penance, he should be able to get gainful employment somewhere, related to his chosen career field. Like maybe the 5th or 6th version on a Springtime Football League.***

Toxic is a strong term. Damaged Goods sounds nicer. Of course, that makes him equal to ALL of us, since we are ALL damaged goods. Thankful for Grace, because I would have a hard time getting in to Heaven if some of you guys were in charge, based on my resume.

How many serial rapists have you enabled? Briles recruited a guy that was a rapist and then covered it up when he did it several times at Baylor. The guy is a POS.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. This ain't about getting into heaven, because none of us are doing that of our own accord. This is about who you want to be a very public representative of your university. The fact they're even interviewing him is beyond sick. Hugh Freeze let a lot of pretty bad stuff go on at UMiss, but he's Mother Teresa compared to Art Briles and Baylor.

 

[patdog]

Wow. That's a lot worse than I realized. It seems that at some point fairly soon, there's going to have to be a break between the P5 and a few other schools and the rest of FBS.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Leaked footage of the interview.. I give em credit for their diligence on that pig.

Except at Liberty. **

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Has Briles been indicted or convicted? The NCAA ruled "failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance" from what I've read. Isn't that what they accused Freeze of?

Briles accused the Board of regents and the Baylor Police Department of covering-up the assault cases.

He is likely still being investigated .... just like Rich-Rod and MacIntyre...

Funny how folks on this Board are sounding like Richard Cross.

Briles might be a lousy human. Hell, he might well be evil incarnate. But he ain't been locked away -- yet. Shouldn't he have a shot at redemption like our boy Freezus?

USM needs a good OC and he's the best Buzzard land will ever get. Ever!!!
