Is Kendal Briles a serious candidate?

[Rifframbahzoo20]

Great, at least you admit it’s pure speculation

It should be common sense. You believe whatever you want though. “win it all costs”, I get it

No.

 

[Rifframbahzoo20]

We have gone from “there is no way this could be happening you are a bad troll” to “ok maybe they are discussing it but tcu wouldn’t really consider it” to “ok maybe they are considering it but the boosters would never allow it” to “ok maybe the boosters allowed it but it still won’t happen” and now it’s “Kendal briles didn’t know about the football team raping dozens of girls, only his father knew, and it doesn’t matter that he wore #CAB to show his support.” I wonder what it will be next….

Did you and others vehemently defend art and Kendal back in 2015??? It’s the hypocrisy which is ridiculous.

I hated Baylor in the Art years more than any other team I've hated, but even I thought the whole thing was pretty overblown (although I do think Art is a scumbag). Once people went on the attack, there was no letting up, no matter what the actual facts were. I'm not sure how many people were actually convicted and found guilty of the things they were accused of, but I know it wasn't many. As I said before, it would be a completely different narrative if Baylor was going 4-8 and 5-7 at the time. And I'll freely admit that one of the main reasons I hated them so much at the time is that they got pretty good, and Baylor was one of those teams that wasn't supposed to be good.

Adding to Wexahu’s thought here, @jackets320 posted this earlier today and it may be worth reading to help get past this hire and the Briles’ hate. But you have to be open minded.

Baylor Used A Racist Smear Of Black Football Players To Cancel Art Briles

The big-time college coaching career of Art Briles effectively died on May 26, 2016. The coroner’s report listed sports media-induced “cancel culture” as the cause of death.

For the record: I don't want him here based on the "you like white women..." comments alone. That's just a pure indicator of what a person is like , if you ask me. If he knew about what was going on, he should not be coaching anywhere. I also think he is not that great of an OC that folks claim. But that latter point really seems moot in the view of what is really important.

Don't think TCU made such an announcement, but it does make a bit of a point. If you have to leak a possible hire to see how bad it will go over, probably not a good hire to make.

Believe it or not this isn’t about you. And who is we? What an incredible straw man argument. Different posters may have made posts like the ones you describe but the implication is the entire board moved over this spectrum.

I agree completely.

Believe it or not this isn’t about you

Sure. It’s about the entire university and all of us who are fans or graduates. This is a horrible look in every way.

Nah.

See that’s the problem, you’re grouping Kendal and Art together. There’s evidence against Art, not Kendal

 

[Rifframbahzoo20]

if there was a baylor football player that knew about his friends raping college girls and didn’t say anything and then he wanted to transfer here would y’all want him??

If he didn't say anything, how would we know if he knew?

"you like white women?"

 

[Wexahu]

Apparently he is a serious candidate.

If you believe that then that’s your prerogative. It’s just a leap too far that the son of the HC (and OC during the time) didn’t know anything.

"you like white women?"

This is literally the only *alleged* item attributed to KB in this entire ordeal. Everyone keeps pointing to it as if it’s some smoking gun that implicates KB in all this, which it doesn’t.

GP sold recruits on that aspect of TCU as well, so y’all might as well tear down the statue

I am sure I don't know everything that my wife and daughter talk about. So not knowing can happen.

What is an example of circumstantial evidence?
For instance, a suspect in a crime was seen by a witness fleeing the scene on foot after a convenience store robbery. Circumstantial evidence does not directly prove that a defendant committed a crime. The “running away” from a crime scene is circumstantial evidence that they committed the robbery.

Well, he had a recruiting violation too.
