He’s been at 5 schools in past 5 years. May not be here next yearThat’s all well and good now that we are hiring him…but no one here was defending the Briles family 7-8 years ago.

What I am reading says that there is a 50% chance that a head coach that hires him will be fired the same year...actually he hasn't been at 5 schools in the past 5 years as he was at arkansas for 3 years and they just extended him last year so obviously pittman wanted to keep him around which in the grand scheme is the only thing that really matter isn't it?
here is the time between baylor and arkansas and it is interesting what a little information can do to clear up some things
2019 - fsu on willie taggert's staff and taggert got fired that year
2018 - uh on major applewhite's staff and applewhite got fired
2017 - fau on lane kiffin's staff and they went from last in their division the year before to winning the conference
Some of us will say, "There's gotta be a head coach opening somewhere for TCU's natty-winning OC."What will we say if we end up at the Natty again this year?

Do you have any opinions that aren’t straight running conjecture?Comment from the Reddit thread:
“Yea... Kendall was arguably just as, if not more involved, than Art. I really don't want to open this can or worms again though.”
From a baylor fan nonetheless
until the past two weeks when we lost Riley, and hired a lesser OC with a ton of baggage.Are you advocating that PR within the state of Texas should be top of mind when making coaching hires?
I think we hired a guy to run the football program and need to let him run his football program. One of the reasons the previous coach lost his job is because of how badly he handled the staff. One of the reasons Dykes is here is because he has a track record of doing a phenomenal job with his staff. Putting aside anything you may not like about KB's track record, let's take a look at Sonny's track record in this area. He's the guy in charge and he's never had any issues in the past that should make any of us not trust his decision making.
Gillespie had more of his impactful time at Stephenville under Chad Morris guy. He spent just as much time under Morris and he also coached under and coached over Copeland. Copeland and Morris had more of the influence on him. Obviously, because he started coming up from lowly guy on totem to coordinator and then HC.I think Gillespie was a great hire. He did an amazing job IMO given what he had to work with. And recruited some really quality prospects as well.
Run the scheissing ball.What will we say if we end up at the Natty again this year?
many of the fans up there wanted him gone after this past season. the play calling and not getting to the endzone enough drove them nuts. but they can get as bad as Auburn fans at times. Hog sports is everything to the whole state up there. (which I think is really cool) That fan base is as passionate and dedicated as ours, but their is not in state competition. So their voice carries.The locker room didn’t, the admin did. Just thought it interesting some Arkie fans thought this way, or appear to think this way is all.
Fran an Arkansas fan no less…
For me it is. He was not good at Arkansas this past season. Lane Kiffin could not wait to push him out the door when he was in sunshine land.It truly has nothing to with whether he is a competent coach or not.
well it was, until a player kinda popped off to one of the hosts up on The Buzz. Clint's show down in Houston picked it up too.a convenient rumor.
on the Kiffin thing, Kiffin overruled on play calling a lot. he was not happy with Briles and it showed.actually he hasn't been at 5 schools in the past 5 years as he was at arkansas for 3 years and they just extended him last year so obviously pittman wanted to keep him around which in the grand scheme is the only thing that really matter isn't it?

Absolutely not trueon the Kiffin thing, Kiffin overruled on play calling a lot. he was not happy with Briles and it showed.
100% true because I was listening to his interview on SXM ESPN(college) when he talked about it.Absolutely not true
You raise a good point. No way he heck Sam was gonna offer the same offensive oversight that SC would.I think we need to wait and see how he functions under SD. It makes a difference when the head coach is closely involved with the OC and they maintain the same philosophy. Seems that Sonny has been a big part of making his offensive coordinators look good. Quarterbacks as well.
