"Art Briles hired/fired in the CFL"


          

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20491001/art-briles-join-hamilton-tiger-cats-coaching-staff-according-statement-cfl-team


Former Baylor football coach Art Briles will not be coaching in the Canadian Football League, according to a Monday night announcement.

Baylor fired Briles last year after the university's investigation of its handling of allegations of sexual assaults by students, including football players. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats had hired him earlier Monday as assistant head coach for offense under head coach June Jones.

"Art Briles will no longer be joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a coach," the CFL and the Tiger-Cats said in a joint statement. "We came to this decision this evening following a lengthy discussion between the league and the Hamilton organization. We wish Mr. Briles all the best in his future endeavours."



good.

Has there ever been a (white) coach in the prime of his career with a winning track record who was effectively blacklisted for issues like rape or player behavior?

I can't think of any.

I believe in second chances and I think he deserves to coach again at some point.

What steps would he have to go through to prove his worthy of another shot. TV interview where he is contrite and fully understands the magnitude of the abusive culture he oversaw? Public speaking tour where he councils college and high school coaches about football culture and consent?

Personally I think he needs to sit out for this year and then maybe he could consult with a team while undergoing some counsel with a preacher who's renown for their sensitivity to gender issues and come back for the 2018 or 2019 season.

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20496809/hamilton-tiger-cats-ceo-cites-tsunami-negativity-cfl-team-reversal-art-briles-hiring

ESPN.com news services

Hamilton Tiger-Cats CEO Scott Mitchell cited a "tsunami of negativity" from fans and media in the United States as one of the main reasons why the Canadian Football League team reversed its decision to hire former Baylor coach Art Briles.

Mitchell addressed the controversial decision during a radio interview Tuesday with SN590 The Fan in Toronto, reiterating that he thought Briles deserved a second chance to coach. Mitchell acknowledged, however, that the Tiger-Cats underestimated the negative reaction that would follow the announcement of Briles' hiring.

"Most of the tsunami of negativity started in the States," Mitchell said. "I think most of the social media activity was generated out of the States, where Art Briles and Baylor is still a very, very fresh issue. I think we clearly underestimated that. ...

"We underestimated the tsunami of negativity that was going to happen, and we made a mistake in trying to contemplate a second chance versus the impact of what had happened at Baylor. ... I think as the day went on, it just became very clear that despite the fact that most people in life believe in second chances, it just became very clear that this was just not acceptable to people."

Baylor fired Briles last year after the university's investigation of its handling of allegations of sexual assaults by students, including football players. The Tiger-Cats hired him Monday as an assistant under head coach June Jones, but announced later in the day that Briles would no longer be joining the team.

Tiger-Cats owner Bob Young released a statement Tuesday, saying that the organization was wrong in its initial decision to hire Briles.

"We made a large and serious mistake," Young said in the statement. "We want to apologize to our fans, corporate partners and the Canadian Football League. It has been a difficult season and we are searching for answers. This is clearly not one of them. We have listened, we are reviewing our decision-making processes and we will learn. We will go on. We want to thank our fans, partners and the CFL for their help and support."

Mitchell was far less contrite in his radio interview Tuesday, saying on multiple occasions that society and the media have refused to let Briles continue his coaching career.

"There is the truth about what went on and then there is what is out there in the media," Mitchell said. "I think probably we got far too wrapped up in what we understand happened. ... We felt he deserved a second opportunity. Clearly that's unacceptable to society today. It's unacceptable to the media that have taken on the issue.

"I think anything related to domestic violence is -- for good reason -- so toxic that regardless of what limited or extreme level someone may have had in it, it's just totally unacceptable to the public that somebody is going to be allowed to work, based on that experience right now."

Briles, 61, has been out of coaching since May 2016, when Baylor officials suspended him with intent to terminate for his role in the school's sexual assault scandal. He later reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Baylor, where he coached from 2008 to 2015, posting a 65-37 record and winning a share of back-to-back Big 12 titles in 2013 and 2014.

Jones, the former Hawai'i and SMU coach, was named the Tiger-Cats' head coach on Thursday. Hamilton was 0-8 when former coach Kent Austin stepped down and Jones was promoted last week.

Mitchell said nobody within the organization will be fired for the initial decision to hire Briles. He also mentioned "vitriol" on social media, where "people have the ability to chime in."

"It gets to a point of negativity where you can't defend a mistake like that, where the general public has said it's not acceptable," he said. "There is no moral high ground on an issue like this, second chance or otherwise."

Mitchell also said he hopes Briles coaches again "at some point," but doubted that it will happen because "clearly right now society is not going to accept that."

ESPN's Mark Schlabach and Paula Lavigne and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

i mean, there were other bad guys on the team, but they only raped one at a time. it's not like they were all gang raping. It's been like 6 months, can't we all just move on.

As bad as the scandal was and is, his consistent denial of the impact of his actions or unawareness is intolerable.

Given that I said that he deserves a second chance, I can't see that he ever is a head coach anywhere, college or pros, again. Not unless he truly transforms as a human being. He's obviously a good coach so I could see him being a coordinator. But he ought to have no say over the direction of a program ever again. He's lost that privilege.

I think what would I do if my son (it's worth noting that I don't have kids.) had a chance to go to a school where he was a coach. I don't know what I would do.

Obviously there are men who have the attitude that Briles has towards rape culture, and some of them are employed in athletics at major programs or in the pros. But it's something else entirely to employ someone who's been so public with their ignorance.

Just a difficult situation.

Literally, every one. We'll start talking about the weather like regular boring grown-ups. And then it'll move to bad weather. And then to lightning. And then to liability concerns.

If we can't count on a basic sense of human moral reasoning to keep this unrepentant shit out of a job, then I would have at least figured the threat of seven-figure lawsuits should have done it. But apparently not.

We're gross.
