Art Briles is interviewing for USM OC job.

Is the carousel the origin of the phrase "What goes around comes around"?

I'm disappointed he isnt going to co teach Urban Meyers class on Character and Leadership.

USM has no character if they hire him. One reason we are in the wrong conference.

If staying out of conferences that will hire a scum-bucket coach if he can win is an important goal, we should just go ahead and join BYU and Notre Dame in the Virtues Conference and be done with it.

Look how many places Bobby Petrino has been hired or where schools have tried to hire him. It is hard for me to imagine a less ethical person who spends his life with young men in their late teens and early twenties.

Adam Rittenberg, ESPN Staff Writer Wrote:Southern Miss will not hire Art Briles for its coaching staff after meeting with the former Baylor coach about its offensive coordinator vacancy, despite Briles having the public backing of Golden Eagles head coach Jay Hopson.

"We have met with Art Briles regarding a position with the Southern Miss football program," the school said in a statement Wednesday morning. "Following that meeting, we informed him that he is not a candidate. The university will have no further comment on this matter."

Hopson, who interviewed Briles for the job, issued a statement disagreeing with university president Rodney Bennett regarding Briles' candidacy.

"I have interviewed Art Briles for an assistant position @ Southern Miss & I believe he is a man who deserves a second chance," Hopson wrote in his statement. "He is a man that seemed sincere & humble in his interview & personally he committed no crime. He may not have acted in the proper protocol, but that should be my JOB at Southern Miss! He was interviewing for an assistant position, even though I believe he will be a Head coach at a Major Program in the near future."

Hopson later wrote of Briles: "He has been banned from employment in college football for 3yrs and has been punished."

It's funny. After the head coach brought him in for an interview, and to meet the higher ups, both the president and the interim AD issued a statement essentially saying "Thanks for your time, but this is not the direction we're going to go."

And then the head coach goes public on Twitter, saying he doesn't see what the issue is, as Briles didn't commit any crime he was aware of.

Way to step out there and show your support of your school leadership. I'm sure they'll have your back if/when your team doesn't run the table.

"He has been banned from employment in college football for 3yrs and has been punished."

What a crock. The investigation is still on-going and the NCAA has not levied any punishment. He hasn't worked because he is toxic, not because of any punishment.

Bob Stoops was named the head coach and GM of the new Dallas XFL team which begins play in 2020. That's the spring football league headed by Vince McMahon (and Oliver Luck who is the league president). Houston will have a team playing its games on the UH campus. There's already a bit of pressure on them to name a splash coach now.

Interesting perspective from this article. PAC-12 not as elite as they used to be. Things change; or do they?

It'll be an elite job as long as UCLA boosters keep throwing money at it, and that's a pretty deep well.

Oh my. The Hopson story gets worse.

One of the more notable situations:

Quote:Hopson and Southern Miss's staff recruited junior college transfer Charles West in January despite accusations he raped two women at knifepoint in 2015, according to Auerbach's report. West ultimately agreed to a plea deal for an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. Hopson reportedly "did not notify Southern Miss of West’s past," and allowed the transfer on campus in January before the school denied his admission after a staffer read about his case in a Dallas Morning News article, according to Auerbach.

Should start calling them Baylor East.

"...junior college transfer Charles West in January despite accusations he raped two women at knifepoint in 2015, according to Auerbach's report."

I think this guy has today found his way into high elected office in Virginia.

Nice. Condemn the cities because a few aholes coach/play football there. Might as well say the same for Houston. There have been some doozies coaching within the city limits in Houston as well (not limited to UH).

Broad generalizions are petty. Nice people in both of these cities as well as Houston more than offset the jerks.

I have a feeling Ant meant Hattiesburg and Waco are not exciting places to live regardless of their universities' football coaches' recruiting proclivities, but that may be reading between the lines too much.

That's what I meant. Independent of the coaches and programs, Waco and Hattiesburg are pretty lousy places to be.

But not what you said. Nice backtrack. Not sure what your personal preferences on cities in which to live has to do with this topic, but leave it to the Parliament to go off on unrelated tangents.

How is that not what I said? I said that Waco and Hattiesburg are comparably horrible - meaning they are both equivalently horrible. Therefore Hattiesburg can be Waco East too or vice versa... and is appropriate since they are both bleh. You read into it in a way that came off wrong, one that i'm still not sure how.

Considering my posting history, you should know if I meant otherwise, I would have said so. Not known for backtracking on my opinion or statement, no matter how unpopular it is.
