He turned around both Houston and Baylor.  And Baylor was in the Big 12 the entire time he coached them.

Further, although they are 7-5 this year, they didn't get blown out by anyone, except maybe TCU.  I think he's a good candidate.  Also makes "only" $2.5 M a year.

Oh wait...his name is ART Briles.  How stupid of me.

Well, he does have 2 world series rings and a lifetime ERA of just under 3 and a half, but it will be kind of hard for him to take the job given that he died a few years back.

Okay, ignoring my lame attempt at humor, what do you really think of Art Briles?  I don't see much daylight between him and Fedora, frankly, and he has got er done in a tougher conference.

The only big negative I see is that his background is offense, and we need immediate help on the other side of the line.
