Art Briles went 1-3 vs Mike Sherman and got blown the hell out in RG3's Heisman year. If he was that great a coach he wouldn't have had to rely on having the most thugged out teams ever to play in the state to win.
He turned Baylor into a perennial top 10 program
Baylor
I used to think God himself couldn't do better than 8-4 there

God probably doesn't want anything to do with those fake Christians.

At what cost? He made them good by taking in tons of scum and leading massive coverups is the point. He didn't do it by being the best coach. Sure all school have assholes they try to keep around but Baylor was on another level. The fallout isn't even close to being over with. It's going to take decades to undue the damage done to their image.

The Devil Himself did.
Briles systematically targeted maximally thuggish guys. Guys who either weren't being recruited by the bigger programs because they were known grade risks/druggies/theives/rapists in HS or guys who had already been kicked out of other college programs for robbery, violence, rape, or drugs. He scoured the nation for his Devils Rejects and assembled them in Waco where the private school made sure their grades were high enough, the local PD aided as best they could in not pressing charges or making things go away when they happened, and the AD and the football staff covered up misdeeds of all sorts and intimidated victims.
There are a LOT of super talented athletes no one has ever heard of because they couldn't make the grade or stay off drugs or out of trouble. If you could assemble all of those guys together on one prison team they'd be pretty darn good. For a while, that's what Baylor DID.
