Of course, that's if this report about Starr being fired is true.
Perhaps the BOR knew Starr wouldn't fire Briles, so they voted to fire Starr leaving the first order of business for the interim president to fire Briles.
I'm guessing the appointment of an interim president will happen about December of this year and Briles's departure will largely depend on which bowl game they go to, and whether they win or not....

I would like to point out that not all Baylor students feel Art should be saved. My sister, who is a Baylor student, wants not only he, Starr, and McCaw fired, but the football program to be eliminated because this scandal has hurt the school's reputation. I have a number of friends who attend Baylor who feel the same way.

For the record, I despise Baylor more than most, but there are some reasonable people at that school too.


Baylor student here.. The entire culture has changed since Briles has begun winning, and not for the better. I hope he is let go, not because I despise him, but for the well being of my colleagues and friends.


Interesting. Can you expand on what you mean by the culture changing?
I'm assuming its similar to how Tech fans became so nasty during Leach's time. While people here have fallen in love with his humor and sarcasm since he left coaching, he acted like a spoiled brat and the culture built up. I had Tech friends that would apologize before we even played because they knew how they'd act. I went with one set of Tech friends to the game against SMU (2013?). At their request we left at halftime, when they said things would get worse. Sure enough, there were many problems in that game on the field and in the stands.

Baylor has built up this culture in a way similar to Tech in the 90s. Baylor was arguably the worst football program from the current Power 5 conferences before Briles, so they haven't learned how to win gracefully or set standards on winning.

That's interesting.

BTW, don't go to that baylor fans site. I got a virus.

Not to mention, it's truly amazing how in denial they are.

I was just kind of proud of how this turned out for a Briles thread a while back, so I'm gonna use it again....

Deserves it for many reasons including the attempted blocking of A&M to the SEC.

Ken's got a new gig. Bill Clinton offered him 7 digits to come out publically about what a wonderful reformed man he is.

Nobody cares. People want Briles out and based on what we know so far he should already be fired. Think of how much more we don't know! Unreal story out of Waco. Then again didn't they have a coach that tried to cover up a murder or something?

Leach is fun but Briles is an as*****!

Starr and McCaw (?) are the two responsible for the lack of a competent Title IX department. The AD should have been fired after the way he handled Uwachuku's victim, a Baylor student-athlete who was hung out to dry while they kept her rapist on scholarship.

Briles made the decisions to suspend players for weed, and not suspend players for sexual assaults. He made the decisions every day that allowed a culture and mindset on his team that violence against women would be tolerated. It's repugnant that his win-loss record and the fear of a tarp-covered empty $300million stadium are protecting him.

They need to get rid of the Baylor references, t-shirts and hats? Lost me as a viewer and I watched that show often.

If art was caught in a hotel room with a young boy AND a dead hooker those idiots would arrest the young boy for the murder and give art a contract extension.

Chip on XM 84 College Sports Radio now saying his sources said its official that Star is out.


Sports illustrated along with several other are reporting it as well.


During the latest realignment drama, how many of those organizations reprinted Chip's stories as the truth? UT-Austin going to PAC12, A&M one of those four teams to PAC12, A&M had no SEC offer and will go where UT-Austin tells them, etc.

So does anyone really think this technical violation (to the extent there was one) is going to be the way Baylor tries to worm their way out of this by firing Starr and maybe McCaw but not Briles? The gist would be something like, "since they didn't have this department as they should, Briles wasn't aware of the seriousness of the allegations..." And since Briles suspended or kicked every one of these players off the team but they remained at Baylor.... oh, wait. That didn't happen.

OK, after writing that, I realized that's too stupid to even contemplate. I'm at a loss for another related explanation.

What could POSSIBLY be the (non-football game winning) argument for firing Starr and not Briles?

Spotted on Facebook moments ago -

Breaking: Like many graduates from the College of Liberal Arts, Judge Starr is leaving Baylor without a job.
