Big week for Arts. Artie Lange is back in handcuffs and Art Briles is back on the gridiron. But only one should actually be considered a criminal. According to Ryan Young of Yahoo Sports, in a lawsuit 31 of Art Briles' former players settled on 52 counts of rape from 2011-2014. But Briles was 40-12 in those season so he kept his mouth shut and let his program run wild.
Briles lost his job in 2016 when multiple allegations of violence against women came to light. The Head coach's negligence to report the misconduct made him a conduit to multiple sexual crimes. Baylor let go of their Briles despite having 39 million left on his contract.
Since 2016 Art has been trying to weasel his way back into football. The closest he came was to the Southern Miss offensive coordinator job. Southern Miss up until this point was really only known for Brett Farve, so clearly they were used to turning a blind eye towards sexual misconduct. Good for the campus though, the community of Hattiesburg put enough public pressure on the AD to veto the Head Coach's decision to bring on Briles.
Art Briles was hired by Texas high school Mount Vernon on Sunday. Why you may ask?
