I just don't understand what it's going to take for some people to move on and get past the Kendal Briles stuff. 

For crying out loud, the guy had to spend years months weeks days hours absolutely no time outside of Division 1 football, and had to go work in another industry step back and volunteer start over from a lesser job keep working as an offensive coordinator and/or associate head coach ever since getting fired resigning leaving Baylor for another Division 1 job immediately. 

He apologized immediately apologized eventually reached out to the victims to try and take responsibility for institutional failures that included him spent a lot of time working with victimized women to better understand the gravity of what went wrong at Baylor did extensive training to confront his own flaws and biases so this would never happen again gave a half-assed obligatory apology through a PR statement went on social media months after Briles was fired to post a statement defending/denying/diminishing what happened at Baylor. 

I mean, hasn't he suffered enough? What more consequences must the man endure to earn forgiveness? What do you people want him to do, crawl over broken glass?

Looking the other way isn’t a crime in some cases, but it says a lot about you as a person and the culture you create.

this is also a great time to point out that we shouldn’t be looking to football coaches as moral arbiters in our society. Rather, they should be viewed the exact opposite.

and it’s always weird to see some of you say “put it to rest it’s been 10 years” when some of you don’t realize that women sometimes deal with the aftermath for the rest of their lives.

Of the dozens of very qualified OCs available, why would the TCU choose to take on the reputation hit this will cause. And to those who say there isn't a reputation hit, every article about him includes references to the rapes at Baylor. A substantial number of TCU alumnus and other donors will be bothered and it will take extra work to keep them giving to the school. Schools that recruit against TCU will be digging out and using Kendals disgusting and frequently quoted comments to recruits. It no longer matters if they are true - they are so much in the public view most people believe they are true! 

Kendal is a good OC, but is he that much better to be worth the problems he brings?

With so many OCs available, why buy the headache for the school? 

Maybe he's better?? maybe every stop he goes to they are REALLY GOOD on offense. It's not that complicated. College football is a merit based job, not the boy scouts. He's damn good at his job. He's probably a bad person. He maybe a great person. 8 years and a massive wake up call maybe changed him. Schools against FAU really stole recruits from them when he was there, same with UH, FSU, UA (Clearly exaggerating if you can't tell). Kids were 10 and 11 years old when the baylor mess came out.

In the lawsuit, which describes a “culture of sexual violence” within the program that was allowed to go unchecked, the younger Briles allegedly told a Dallas-area high school athlete “Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players.”

 

Culture matters.
