If anyone in leadership at Liberty University is considering Art Briles for a future role with the program, they ought to take note of this:

If anything, his chances for rehabilitation have lessened in light of the #metoo movement and the emphasis on sexual harassment.

Thus far, he seems to be untouched by the scandal. He was also kept on staff at Baylor for a year following his father's dismissal, so I guess the message to other schools is that he wasn't complicit somehow.

I like KB and have been around him from time to time since my days covering him for the Longhorns. But to say that he was untouched by the scandal in Waco would be a major stretch. He obviously has pre-existing ties to UH that gave him the opportunity he would not likely have received otherwise.

He was already the OC at FAU.

Lane Kiffin doesn't care what anyone else thinks. KBs hire in Boca generated plenty of negativity in FAU circles but Kiffin is considered above the fray.
