Will Baylor actually re-hire Art Briles?
Just less than a month ago, it was announced that Art Briles was fired as head coach of Baylor's football team. Now Baylor's donors are trying to recant that. They want to give him an one-year suspension, instead, and bring him back on in 2017.
MANY feel Baylor shouldn't even consider bringing back Briles. People say he supports rape culture and participated in silencing female students who were raped by at least a couple of his players. But the question on everyone's mind is ... will they actually go through with with hiring him again?
Bob Simpson, a significant donor, wants Briles back! But critics say Baylor should be more worried about the reputation of the school and the safety of female students instead of football and its donors. But folks won't be too surprised if Baylor moves forward with the decision.

Bob Simpson, a key Baylor donor who is close to Art Briles, on the possibility of a return: "We don't know yet. We'd like to see that."

Although it’s despicable to some, they are aware of the possibility. And the report about it is very telling!
The fact bringing Briles back is even a discussion says everything.

And some say, with the likelihood of Baylor bringing him back, let them … just penalized the school as a result.

Bringing back Briles would reverse any progress Baylor has made though.
RE: #Baylor/Briles: Keep in mind there's likely more lawsuits coming and it'd only get messier IF he's brought back as the face of program.

Nothing likely to come of Baylor's push to bring back Art Briles https://t.co/8fDR9qU42H

I hope reason will prevail on the Baylor Board of Regents. Bringing Briles back would be a grave error in judgment. https://t.co/XAaXpCgQXt

And of course, many feel like it would be too much of a bad decision. So they are simply advocating against it.
Even if it's only a small faction pushing for it, bringing Briles back would be repulsive. #BaylorScandal #baylor https://t.co/BXsQU30oP5

The fact that Baylor is even entertaining the idea of bringing Art Briles back shows that it's all about money & wins/losses.

Baylor should not let itself be held hostage by a small number of rich donors. You said Briles was gone. Stick to your word.
