Something really fishy about this whole thing (shocker with Briles involved, I know). Why would he resign from his job before the announcement that he'd been hired at another one? If it's just that he's taking another gig, why not "step down to pursue another opportunity" the same way 100% of other coaches who do that same thing do it? I think there's more to it.
I remember the mental gymnastics those people from Mt Vernon were doing to justify his hiring. It was truly astounding. Like, something you'd think you'd only see in a movie. I followed it all pretty closely and kept expecting the outrage to take over and them to have to walk it back. Not even close.
Around that time, there was a letter that had been released by Baylor that, in a bunch of legal jargon, vaguely stated that Baylor couldn't directly tie anything that happened to Briles. The people of Mt Vernon took that letter as Briles being 100% acquitted of all wrong doing. That letter, combined with lots of religious forgiveness, not our place to judge, etc, mumbo jumbo plus Briles had some big swinging Baptist dicks from Baylor vouch for what a great man he was, made everyone in that entire town completely burry their heads to what all went on.
Fast-forward to now and I think I read in the last few days that Baylor now has another round of trials coming up? Or they're set to release some other report or something? I'm guessing some shit is about to come out, either with Baylor or Mt Vernon that isn't going to look too good for ole Art, once again. Usually where there's smoke, there's fire...and with Art Briles and Baylor and people like the residents of Mt Vernon, it's usually a fucking inferno.
