It’s obvious he doesn’t need a paycheck. He’s always maintained his innocence. The guy might just love football. He may stay at MV longer than 2 years. At 64 with millions in the bank, he may just be like MV gave me a second chance so I’m not leaving. Still a sticky situation, but the more I read it looks like the board of regents were looking to pin it on someone. I think when it all shakes out we will see he took the minimum pay for the MV opportunity. This ain’t about money, it’s about trying to restore his name and reputation where his career started - Friday Night Lights. I suspect he will have to use all funds he can get his hands on to assemble the best staff possible of former assistants (or children of his former assistants) & players that already know his system. With as many as 12 staff members to hire, that’s where he will need the money. I disagree with you on longevity though. My bet is he won’t make the full two years at MV. He and his staff will leave for a larger opportunity and MV will be left starting over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s supposedly just wanted back home. Well he’s here now. Show MV some gratitude for stepping out on a shaky limb for you. Money isn’t an issue for sure. $18,000,000.00 will go along way in Franklin county. I will say Lake Bob Sandlin and Lake Cypress Springs are nice areas for retirement. 🤷♂ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That staff is about to learn more football in the next 8 months than they have learned in their career. You don’t hear a lot about Mount Vernon, or at least I don’t. Are they not very good?

Not sure what he will do for staff, I believe he has to keep what is there, might be able to bring 1. This is just a stepping stone to create future opportunities. I guess we can say that about most coaching opportunities though can’t we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regaleagle Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Must admit.......this IS one big ol' story in Texas High School football, for sure. You can take the man out of Texas, but you just can't take Texas out of the man. Most of us understand the meaning and love for Texas high school football and Friday night lights.......there's just no other place on planet Earth like it.

Allow me to add to that statement.........not even on Saturdays with the NCAA or Sundays with the NFL.

Bries is not a scapegoat. Remember when Briles sued Baylor for defamation ? Baylor admin kept all of Briles E-mails then released one talking about all the money the football team has brought to Baylor. He didn't care about if a few girls got assaulted. Briles withdrew the lawsuit quickly. Old people don't understand E-mails are forever. Ken Star , the person in charge Baylor , resigned. This is the same Ken Star who impeached Bill Clinton on moral grounds. Now Star has is known for covering rape up and retaliating against women who came forward in reporting sexual assault. Both Baylor and Briles has lost a ton of money in lawsuit settlements. The Waco Police Chief committed suicide in Alabama I believe when he was about to be arrested. There is a bunch of others that should be in prison. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing stands clear — Coach Art Briles was wrongfully fired by Baylor University, as evidenced by: Baylor’s significant payment to him — more than $15 million, according to federal tax forms filed by the school in March. If there were reason to fire him, no payment was necessary. There were no facts of any Briles wrongdoing cited in the sole document written by Pepper Hamilton after its investigation. Former President Starr’s declaration there were no underlying facts reported of any Briles misconduct. Dismissal, due to lack of evidence, of the one and only lawsuit against him. Failure of victims or anyone else showing evidence against him to claim a $10,000 reward. Baylor’s letter exonerating him. In fairness, ESPN, the Dallas Morning News, Wall Street Journal and hundreds of other news media were misled by the Baylor board’s expensive public relations campaign whose strategy was to direct attention away from the board and its own institutional failings and to cast blame on Briles and the football program. The same media need to investigate the true facts as to Briles and publish them with the same vigor as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been so incredibly successful with the ground and pound game- I’d hate to know that they would change away from it- I’m not sure MV has ever been able to out athlete many schools - especially the Tatums, jeffersons, Atlantas of the world- I would think that staying with their current system and adding a better passing game with it would be special- When teams load 10 or 11 in the box MV struggled - go watch the MV Kemp game 2 years ago to see what I mean. MV will still ground and pound most likely but instead of 3 or 4 passes a game maybe 10-12 passes a game to keep the D honest - But in short NO they will not be as successful spreading it around (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many 2018 coaches are still employed by MV? Is Beiles really going to have to bring 12 to fill all the vacancies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
