Apologies for the rant like post, but this Briles thing got waaaaay out of control Just to be clear, there was never a chance that Briles would return to Tech. The same two guys that tried to get Hocutt to hire Holgerson were pushing for Briles. And we saw how that turned out For every major booster that wanted Briles there were ten willing to pull all contributions if he was hired. I can verify that at least three baseball boosters would, including a close family member of mine. I know it’s not the same as the Double Eagle boys, but those two guys aren’t going to fund the entire Athletic Department. Hocutt isn’t going to appease 10% of his contributions and risk losing 90%. This Jay Leeson character acts as if he is connected and pretends to be using coded language in his tweets. In reality, he doesn’t know any more than an average fan. I don’t know him, but he’s from a small town that neighbors mine. He’s an attention whore minor radio personality trying to add followers and get retweets from national media Too many people are reading unverifiable tweets and making the huge leap to Texas Tech leadership is actively pursuing Briles. He is a 65 year old who AT BEST, ignored a rape culture in his program and had a young ladies’ scholarship reduced for accusing one of his players. And at worst? He is still facing sanctions from the NCAA that may prevent him from coaching anywhere, much less at Tech. He couldn’t even keep his nose clean at a 3A high school Again, sorry about the rant. I’m not trying to call anyone out. I just don’t think those casually interested in the story are taking the time to think the situation through
