Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Art Briles

I don't think he'd come but where does he rank on your candidate list?

  • A poster on doogman asked a legitimate question of how Briles was able to turn Baylor into a perennial top 25 program who will probably win their conference this year, and Sark is still mediocre. It was a legit question, this is fucking Baylor we are talking about. They have always been terrible.

    The doogs say, he gets to recruit in Texas, plays an easy schedule, Baylor has better QB's than Keith Price. These guys have never ending excuses for Sark. They act like it is impossible to win at Washington, but winning at Baylor is fucking easy. I hate our fan base. The reason Briles has done what he has is because he is a good fucking coach who earned his way from high school head coach, to assistant, to the Houston job, to Baylor. Good coaches win no matter where they fucking coach.

    I can't wait for that thread to go *Poof* or that poster to earn a timeout.

    Sad how good thought provoking questions aren't allowed over there.

    First if he wanted to come. He won't though. Fuck, if we could just switch Sark with Art Briles I think we could get fast in a hurry. Who is a better offensive mind than Briles?

    They're playing some defense there now too. He'd be a great choice, but I agree, he's not going anywhere.
  • UW's recruiting rankings are right there with Stanford and Oregon. They are top 10 while UW is 7-6 because they get highly touted lineman while UW doesn't.

    These doogs don't even realize how stupid it is to say, "Yeah, but Briles gets to recruit in Texas." Sark has pulled in much higher ranked classes than Briles. Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, every SEC school, Nebraska, ASU, and many more had first pick on Texas recruits before Baylor. Baylor was so far fucking down on the totem pole. They can't even come up with legitimate excuses. These fucking idiots should stop trying to talk football and just nod in agreement when someone who knows what the fuck they are talking about tells them something.

    Baylor is recruiting better now, but here are Baylor's rankings on Scout. 2009- 44th, 2010- 51st, 2011-52nd, 2012- 30th, 2013- 26th. They are at 14th this year, and recruiting is getting better because talented players want to play for winners. Baylor has become a program that wins.

    I was looking at ours going back to 2007, and every f****** class is top 30 ( most are top 15 or 20) except for 2009 and this class ( which is TBD). Wtf do we have to show for it?!?! These Doogs are so dense it the defies logic.
  • Doogs are fucking stupid. I mean look at Stanford? They have never won shit. Then they hit on a coach in Harbaugh and it's looking like they hit on another coach in Shaw.

    This shit isn't hard to figure out. UW is there in talent, they went toe to toe with Stanford. If they had the right coach maybe our biggest win of the year won't be when Oregon loses like it is every fucking year.

    What Briles has done is incredible. When he took over, Baylor was barely operating as a Div 1 program. There was virtually no support from boosters or fans, the athletic department was in financial trouble, and they were competing for recruits against all the schools you've noted, doing so from freaking Waco, TX and with absolutely atrocious facilities. Now he has arguably the top performing program in the Big 12, plenty of financial support and an excellent stadium and facilities project in work. They are finally a legitimate option for any kid wanting to play in that league. There are very few college football coaches over the ages who have been at the center of the accomplishments that he has. Failing to recognize that is plain ignorant.
