re: Sam Pittman's Assistant hires and possibilities...

Probably settled between the universities and prorated down.

Anyone know what happened with the whole 500k buyout thing?

I'd assume not having to pay for a severance would be a good trade for them?

That'd be me. From an ethical standpoint I can't stand by the hire if it is true as I don't want anyone associated with that Baylor program in ours but from a football standpoint it's definitley a homerun hire and his track records speaks for hiself.

Those who say I had "facts" linking him to crimes are misrespecting what I said. It is a fact that that the Baylor scandal is not completely over. There are unnamed coaches who interfered or tampered with investigations, and pending lawsuits and criminal charges for the assaults/rapes

(this is where it becomes not a fact) I do find it hard to believe with him being OC and Art's son that he isn't one of them or wasn't involved in some capacity.

Back to facts: He has a seperate open title 9 about offering sex to recuits from a school wide group paid to have sex with potential recuits from all big sports.

Back to opinion
This is concerning as I would not want that at my program. What that shows to me is that he probably, in some form, took part in that culture at Baylor.

The most important aspect is whether he's one of those unnamed coaches or not, as that really determines what kind of person he is deep down and it was wrong of me to say he's a bad person without knowing for certain, and I wish that information could be out to the public so there's no baggage for someone who did not try to interfere with anything. With him being in a position a power during that scandal and the seperate investigarion there is real risk if we hire him that he could be named in something horrible. I would just rather not hire a candidate with that level of baggage.

All that being said, Briles is innocent until proven guilty, and I trust in the vetting of our administration to know better about that risk than I do. I support the Razorbacks and will be fine with Briles being our new OC. I have said my peace and I'll hold my tounge unless allegations start to actually have implications, and I'll very much enjoy seeing a great offense on the field again.

and we are not done yet, ladies and gents.

This just keeps getting better....
