Good to know there is at least one college head football coach who considers trying to strangle your girlfriend a violation of team policy. Art Briles would have had his back. If it was a guy he assaulted, personally I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until the facts come out, but I would still have no problem with him being dismissed. If it turns out to be a situation similar to what happened with Aldreakis Allen, maybe he could be allowed to return at some point.I believe the N&A verified a woman was involved.

The girlfriend reported that Best hit and strangled her, and then took her cell phone from her when she threatened to call police and wouldn't let her leave the room.

He clearly surpasses her stupidity by a long shot.In College I was in the company of several coeds in the wee hours of the morning. Never assaulted them
When people quickly post stuff like that it makes me curious as to if they have ever had a family member or friend who have been in an abusive relationship.

He clearly surpasses her stupidity by a long shot.I’ve been around females and athletes during late night/early mornings and I see where he’s coming from. These girls are not really thinking critically about the company that they’re engaged with. These involve drugs and other engagements; recall a few drug busts that I was involved in because of these students. I’m not saying any young lady(or man) deserve to be assualted, but there’s something called common sense. Hopefully this young lady have learned from this and would change the circles that she’s ‘friends’ with. I have some doubt that she will not do that(from experience at LU).
