Horns Digest, a Texas-affiliated Scout site, reported Monday morning that big-monied donors want Art Briles back, and university regents would vote on suspending him for one year (as opposed to firing him) later this afternoon.
While there is a splinter cell pining for Briles' return, it is outnumbered and considered only a marginal voice at this time.
From usatoday.com:
While a small minority of Baylor donors have been pushing behind the scenes to bring back Art Briles as football coach in 2017 — effectively giving him a one-year suspension — it is unlikely to result in any action, USA TODAY Sports has learned.
A person with knowledge of the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions, said there is indeed a faction of voices within the school’s Board of Regents still supporting Briles and urging the school to bring him back. But those voices, the person said, were few in number at this point and considered to be on the margins.
Sounds like Briles won't be coming back to Baylor in 2017, or ever.
