Art Briles could be the next Mississippi coach

Ole Miss would be insane to pay that to a guy who is making 1.3 per by Baylor where he has a losing record.
Better facilities, better athletes, a history of winning...easy advantage over the likes of Texas, A&M and Oklahoma.
Of course he has a losing record there...they were horrible before he arrived. They're relevant now. It's a situation very similiar to Ole Miss in terms of being the stepchild to the powers of the SEC.
Briles would be a huge catch for UM but I don't see him taking that dive...unless the money was that great. He's a TX HS guy...his roots are there and has a great administration in Baylor. If he makes a bowl in each of the next three years, they'll name the stadium after Teaff and the field after him.

If that is the deal and Briles gets that kind of money from Ole Miss, I will be shocked. That's Top 10 in the country kind of money.
I don't think anybody other than someone familiar with Ole Miss or its "peculiar" ways could succeed there. It's a place where, other than Johnny Vaught, coaching careers have gone to die.<div>
</div><div>Everyone forgets that Steve Sloan was the hottest coach in the country when Ole Miss hired him. Before attending Ole Miss, he won everywhere he went. Yet, by the time he left Oxford, he was considered a loser. Why? Ole Miss turned him into a loser. Same with Houston Nutt- he was always a winner until he came to Oxford, and had all the winning sucked out of him.</div><div>
</div><div>Art Briles wouldn't succeed there because he's succeeded in Texas (where even the second-level and third-level talent is as good as Mississippi's Dandy Dozen), at schools with few expectations of success and fan bases that aren't borderline psychotic. At Houston and Baylor, Briles had one Offensive Coordinator and one Defensive Coordinator each- at Ole Miss, he'll have about 2,000 OC's and DC's and he better listen to each and every one of them, or else there'll be hurt feelings and "I'll never give to Ole Miss again".</div><div>
</div><div>Mark Hudspeth is the only coaching hire I'm afraid of- he could be hired cheap, he's a winner, and he knows Mississippi.</div>

I'd say that was a significant defensive coaching loss. Sloan's teams at Ole Miss could score, they just couldn't stop anyone. As for other coaches since Vaught, I don't think Tuberville had too bad of a career at Auburn. Cutcliffe's career didn't die in Oxford. He had the bulk of his success here.
than normal to get someone to take the job. Big mess + unrealistic expectations = they have to pay a good bit more than other teams to get a coach to chance career suicide. He has to win in three years, so he will require a big payday.
You DID have Romeo Crennel on your staff though. Also, after Sloan left Ole Miss, he was AD at Bammer during the Curry Era. OH, and David Cutcliffe is really tearing up the ACC right now with those Duke powerhouses...until he came to Ole Miss, he only knew success at Alabama and Tennessee.<div>Like I said, Ole Miss turns winners into losers. </div>
My thoughts are Briles.
1.I wouldnt blame him forgetting out of Baylor this year with RGIII leaving
2. He would be an IDIOT to jump from a pretty good job in the very watered down Big 10/12 to the dumpster fire in Oxford, other jobs would be more attractive and easier to win at than the SEC west
3. Briles is a winner but this job is going to take some time and we all know that the Bears will not be patient, and will demand he be in a new years day bowl by year two. Based on what I have seen from the bears they should hope they could get to 6-6 in year two. Cutcliff gets the ax after one bad season, Orge gets the ax after two, and Nutt gets fired after back to back cotton bowls. Any HC candidate has to look at there history
4. Briles doesnt scare me as a HC. He is all about offense and could care less about D. If you watched him at Houston and Baylor he has never fielded a decent defense, that will get him killed in the SEC. Ark has a very very good offesne but they play enough defense to win games, so dont compare Briles to Petrino

Hahahaha Hows Atlanta this time of year.... oh wait you've never been. Enjoy the 2-10 year and the long lean years to follow
So I guess Bill Belichik can be credited for both the rehabilitation and demolition of Crennel's coaching? Might as well add Charlie Weiss, Josh McDaniels, and Eric Mangini to Belichik's list. Sloan would have had a fall off w/o Parcells no matter if in Oxford or wherever. Cutcliffe had a better record with better talent in Oxford than he's got at Duke. Your argument is invalid, but keep on doing what your doing. I need the entertainment this season and likely next.
