I think this had to be the plan all along, or they would have just fired Briles to begin with and Grobe wouldn't have kept all his assistants.
$2,000,000. For one year as caretaker coach...who would not do that?Devil's advocate. Betrayed!
He was hired to replace Briles and have a chance to win the job.
Now he knows that the BOR and Baylor think very little of him. His players and assistants will disrespect him as a mere substitute until the time Briles is allowed his triumphant return.
And he has to deal with the fall-out of 43-years from operating without a viable T9 apparatus at a time where the school is under a microscope.
Every fan base on the schedule will be chanting "no-means-no".
Grove's failure to release 2016 NLOIs will dominate the summer.
It's a basic crappy situation only made tolerable by whatever bank he earns. No matter how much it is, it's not enough to swim neck-deep in Baylor's poop.
morally bankrupt. I'm not sure how any of these leaders, Christians, can sleep at nightBaylor's Regents vote tonight, and a preliminary vote shows that it's very close on whether to bring Briles back for 2017.

It's becoming clear that the real problem at Baylor starts at the top with the very wealthy boosters & regents who decided they wanted to win at all costs.
Because it's not their daughters.morally bankrupt. I'm not sure how any of these leaders, Christians, can sleep at night
I'm enjoying seeing Starr bear the brunt of Buddy and the Regents ire as the scapegoat (he didn't sufficiently resource the coach with the knowledge that it's frowned upon to let known rapists prey on our virginal white women). However, I'm more excited by the idea that baylor might bring Briles back, even further revealing their true colors on the value of accountability. Fascinating to watch. Fascinating.Baylor's Regents vote tonight, and a preliminary vote shows that it's very close on whether to bring Briles back for 2017.

God forgives rapists, and it's part of our job to help God forgive rapists. How else do we know if they've been again embraced in Jesus' loving arms, if we don't provide them the temptation they deserve. Remember, Jesus himself was tempted by Satan before he was proven worthy as the Son of God. We are just journeying down the path that the Bible outlined for us. If the NCAA, or even the law of the land has a problem with that, I'd kindly refer them to Jesus himself for an explanation.now, respond in character. MOAR!
EDIT: Orr is is "MORR!" (?)
He is a fine white male that says all the right things. Why would we hold him accountable for a buncha rapes he covered up for the benefit of more football victories. That would be an overreaction. Might heart is breaking right now. Right now!http://www.wacotrib.com/sports/bayl...cle_8b8eaa60-7ba9-5756-a587-eec9affa1fff.html
Gale Galloway, another former regent chair and Baylor football player, said he supports Briles.
“One of the finest men I’ve known is Art Briles,” said Galloway, 86. “He certainly deserves to be reinstated. This (his firing) is heartbreaking and an overreaction.”
My understanding is that Baylor is actually a subsidiary of the Baptist Church. At some point, doesn't church leadership have to step in to this and say "Enough!". This whole thing is making a joke out of the Baptist Church if it's allowed to continue much further.

Actually they're not. Not in my book anyway. And according to what I read, not by the standards of the good book either.
Yeah, but Uncle Ken should be spouting such nonsense, not you.Remember when Jesus said that nothing is more important than making money and winning athletics contests?

Looks to me like they are in line to whiff his pits. Did they use Tide back then?There's even a mural that depicts that moment:
Yeah ... different school, but same "holier than thou" attitude that we love so much about both schools.
We'll call them ChINOs. No offense to our Asian friends.Actually they're not. Not in my book anyway. And according to what I read, not by the standards of the good book either.
