Art Briles thinks he can get another coaching job by the end of 2016

Former Baylor head coach Art Briles was at Dallas Cowboys training camp on Tuesday. He made some comments to reporters, relayed here by the Dallas Morning News’ Kate Hairopoulos.

Briles was fired this May for his reported role in the sexual assault scandal that rocked the university.

Few would doubt his qualifications as a football tactician. But any school to hire him would rightfully face enormous criticism due to, among other things, what a law firm’s investigation found to be his coaching staff’s shameful response to sexual assault claims made against players.

Before this week, Briles’ only public statement on his firing included the following:

The complete scope of what happened here has not been disclosed and unfortunately at this time I am contractually obligated to remain silent on the matter. The report prepared by Pepper Hamilton, the law firm hired and paid for by Baylor’s Board of Regents, has not been shared with me directly, despite my full cooperation with the investigation. I can only assume that the report, which is not independent, supports the conclusions that the Board has already drawn. I hope to share with you what I was aware of as soon as I can.

The coach accused Baylor of wrongful termination, but the two reached a settlement days later.

Briles didn’t state whether he thought he would be hired as a head coach or not, but his next team will have a lot to answer for, whether he’s the head coach, a position coach, or even some kind of advisor.

If Briles is hired to coach on a college campus again, it’s difficult to imagine it will be by the end of this year.
