You should probably keep Gustav around then hu?
I've already said that as long as he gets rid of Lashlee and brings in a real QB coach and coordinator that could bring new ideas, I want Gus to stay. If we had signed Watson, everyone would be singing his praises right now. And we'd be 3-0.
Recruiting is great, and many people forget that Gus is still green as a head coach. Not so long ago, your coach was an 8-4 at best type coach. He won a championship in 2003, but did anyone really fear him back then? Hell no. Tubs beat his arse on the regular and still has a winning record against him.

In addition to being morally wrong, any school that hires Briles in any capacity is going to be crucified in the media and will lose their recruiting class.
Recruits mother's wouldn't stand for it.

I agree, Gus is basically a young Saban. He should be given the benefit of the doubt.

I guess I dont understand why the women would report to the football staff instead of just calling the cops to begin with. I did read a quick summary that stated the police were involved in the coverup as well. still not sure how this all gets laid on Briles but I dont know a fraction of the facts so I'm surely missing something. the whole thing seems weird as hell but it was Waco.

sounds like what it pints too is someone with a lot of power and $ wanted it covered up. if they had enough clout to make the police, media and judicial system cover it up wtf could Briles have done that wasnt going to end with him getting fricked?

They are 18 year old dumb kids who had their parents hovering over them their entire lives. When something bad happened they went to "The School" (aka the replacement for the parents authority figure in their lives) and then because of that the football staff got wind of the issue and got involved.
And in some cases the police did get involved. The guy that got them busted had charges against him. The real issue is the local Waco Press apparently did everything they could to avoid the police blotter so they didn't know that the said player was charged with sexual assault. This is what allowed the situation to fester, and allowed one rape to turn into three and one bad player to be a pile of them.
I mean, Joe Pa never fricked a kid. He probably never watched a kid get fricked. Worse thing he did was hear the complaints and look the other way. Briles is accused of the same crime, we hold coaches to a higher standard than regular people because of their position in the community.

It wasn't one person, the whole community was on the same page to ignore the problem.
What Briles could have done is turned everything over to police, fire the coaches who pretended to do an "investigation," and not allowed players to practice with the team that had such major charges brought against them.
Briles fricked up plenty.

The Auburn victim complex would reach unparalleled heights as a result of the backlash flowing from their hiring of Briles.

Look above, it's already started.

You don't understand why a 18-22 year old girl that goes to a sheltered, baptist school that doesn't allow any kind of fun would be the exact type of girl that would go to a campus authority instead of the Waco PD?
I've read a TON on Baylor and I don't have the time to spell out every reason why Art Briles is a rape enabling sack of shite. But that's what he is.
And it isn't comparable to Jimbo Fisher because, as far as I know, FSU had one player accused of rape. Baylor had MULTIPLE.
I know AU is Bama's rival and he "hate" on each other but right now I legitimately respect the school and I have many friends and family members that went/go there and don't really "hate" AU.
If Briles were hired there, I would legitimately, absolutely know AU is run by a disgusting, backwards bunch of fools.
What Art Briles allowed to happen under his watch is second only to Joe Paterno in the annals of disgusting behavior in the name of winning football games.

Damn, they haven't even hired this cat yet and they're already victimized.

This is all very confusing because every single Auburn poster told us that Gus was an offensive genius who was reinventing the game of football. How could this be happening?

What would your reaction be and how do you feel the media would view the hire?
Answer to both is the same. It would be just another case of Auburn stooping to whatever depths it must to try to win at any cost.

and also choke on the big bowl stage.
Eh, not really. 3-3:
2010 Texas Bowl vs. Illinois L 38-14
2011 Alamo Bowl vs. Washington W 67–56
2012 Holiday Bowl vs. UCLA W 49–19
2013 Fiesta Bowl vs. UCF L 52-42
2014 Cotton Bowl Classic vs. Michigan State L 42-41
2015 Russell Athletic Bowl vs. North Carolina W 49–38
Yes, really.
He's been to two of what used to be known as the New Year's day bowls and lost them both - and the 2014 Cotton Bowl is the textbook definition of a choke. Also, in 2010 he also lost to 6-6 Illinois.

They don't have to hire Briles for everyone to know that.....

And have already found their talking points that what Briles did is the same as basically every other coach.
How dare you criticize him!

the same police you just said were covering it up? that'd be a real smart plan.

You are right, covering it up themselves was a much more efficient plan.

At least then it would have been the police fricked shite up instead of he fricked up.
The two things that rule the world are liability and plausible deniability. Briles had a lot of the former and non of the latter.

to the contrary I dont want him and I think Fisher is scum the same way and wouldnt want him either. some of this shite yall say is ridiculous though. the girls were 18-22 year old college kids and you all act like they were fricking retards. didnt know to call the police? the whole story is all fricked up.
