Is Kendal Briles a serious candidate?

Per this article that posted less than an hour ago:

A source within program made it clear over the week that no deal was finalized and that in the past 48 hours, the process has come to a standstill. Why? Because when the move was leaked it was met by fierce pushback by the TCU fanbase and from national pundits.

well, only if they don't confess. repentance is important

I'm an ESVer so maybe my Bible translation is different, but I don't remember repentance in the story about the woman accused of adultery. I'm not saying repentance is not scriptural, it is, but is it a requirement for forgiveness?

I wonder what @Fiscuits thinks of this. Quite the campaign to cancel this deal.

I will guess there is now a good chance that Kendal Briles will decline this job because of the hate. If he doesn’t, he must really love living in Texas.

Do we not have many denominations because the Bible isn’t black/white?

Good article...

As an aside, I really like Steven Johnson covering the Frogs...

A pastor once told me that we have denominations because of sex and/or money...not necessarily over scriptural interpretation, of which there are many.

I hope this doesnt happen but even if it doesnt, some damage has been done because the narrative will be we were going to hire him but then there was backlash. There isnt a lot of integrity in that. Should NEVER haven gotten this far.

I think it shows, whatever the outcome, that we wrestled with the issue. There is a path to redemption, but it might be too soon...to say that it could never happen is to say that we are without hope, that someone can change, and learn from their mistakes (I for one are proof of that).

We used to be. Coach P lost his fastball no doubt but I believe he wanted to win, but the RIGHT way. Or at least talked a good game. This potential hire makes me question our integrity as an school/admin.

I think he showed that the times kids went sideways.

Fair question. But, with no repentance, how can you have forgiveness? Can someone's sin be forgiven if s/he does not want to be forgiven? I assume - with no scirptual support - that Jesues knew the adulterress wanted forgiveness without her saying it.

Great article…is he a new writer?

I wonder if all this Briles/Baylor hate will cause Kaz Kazadi and Carlton Buckels to want to leave.

repentence is 180 degrees from the wrong path back to what God wants. But, yes, you can offer forgiveness, it is up to the one you forgive to accept. But that does not clear you from offering forgiveness, as the man upstairs forgives us. And I think that is the point An-Cap is making. But, at the same time, the Word does show the need to seek to reconcile, as Christ reconciled us to Him. Reconciliation has steps, including the offender repenting. So its a bit of a winding path.

Doubtful. They want a job. They also know that tapefingers is not what made the bu offense successful. Scoring matters. See arkansas.

Paywall. So could not read.

Big question: Who are the multipel sources he is saying claims we are looking at Briels. Are any of them realy within the program? (janitors don't count)

 

[dobbiesquad4]

So if this is all true and in the end SD is told he can’t hire KB, what does that do for his future at TCU?

It is entirely possible that SD was not looking at him as a top candidate and Briles agent fished his name out there. I don't know what is in that Steve Johnson article, however. So maybe they were looking at Briles. SD would have to know that it is a risky hire. My guess it does not affect his future. Certainly he would understand the issues of that hire.

What about dishwashers?

 

[Rifframbahzoo20]

Arkansas fans seemed to be the first ones that knew we were looking at him… so it could be him fishing

depends.
