Lets not act like Briles was in the room when all that happened, never the less was definitely not the first person to know about it. I'm sure that s**t took a long while to roll down hill to him.
Not really since Briles already knew Sam had a history of violence towards women. Rape is a crime of violence. Briles didn't need to be in the room, he's the one who invited Sam into the room and then left him to act out on a new and unsuspecting group of girls.

When Stoops was hired, I bought in and was glad we didn't sniff Petrino. I believe I was wrong.
I am an alum and a fan. At this point I. Don't. Care. I don't care if everyone tells me I sold my soul. I don't care to have questionable character athletes. As long as we don't go on probation and there are no sexual assaults, I would grin as long as we win. We are in the SEC. Act like it.
So, you add a caveat, one in which Briles has already failed, miserably.

Tressel would be interedting but his offense kind of gets on my nerves. He he would open iffense up more. I know he can coah though he won titles everywhere he has been.
uh, Tressel has always run a nice offensive scheme. Troy Smith won the Heisman playing for Tressel. I don't know what you're talking about honestly. Part of the reason he took Ohio St from Michigan whipping boy to best team in the conference for the last 15 years is because of he got away from the big 10 crap offense.

Rape. bigot. racist. etc etc etc

Do people realize we are at the point where everyone is guilty of all of those things now? My God, there are college campuses and lefty lunatics that now want rape to define a woman regretting consensual sex AFTER the act, LITERALLY. All white men are subconsciously guilty of being racist whether or not you actually have notions about people based on skin. You're white, you're a racist. Period.

I'm sick of this crap and people that keep allowing this nonsense to peddle on because they've got a nice house, job, and a cool set of golf clubs are the biggest problem we have.

If Briles raped a woman, as in real rape, as in allowed a man to rape a woman by force while she's crying and screaming, then no. If he covered incidences of rape (not a change of heart after she does it), then no. You think Saban hasn't covered for players indiscretions? Yes. You think Meyer hasn't covered for players acting like idiots and doing outrageous things? Yes.

UK football is literally the only place on planet earth that gives two sh*ts about this crap. The rest give a PC answer and let the news cycle move on.

Hire a damn winner and stop playing games. We are not a catholic university. We are not BYU. We are an SEC football program that acts like a bunch of beta pussies, starting with the President and AD.

We are in a situation where Louisville is going to become the darling program in this state. GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES. Ask yourself this question, all of you moral brigadiers. Why do YOU care, but the recruits and their parents don't? Answer this question, because none of you seem to ever try and explain it.

Would you be OK with the hire? I think he did far worse than Bobby, but someone is going to hire him. If he could get us to UL level would you be ok?

And it will never happen because of Mitch but I'm just curious.
You can't even say what he did, but he did far worse. You dumb sheep are out of control.

I didn't care one way or the other on Petrino, but Briles has no business coaching based on what we know now.
Based on... wait for it, what we know now. Lol, yeah dude should be in prison based on what we know know. There is a special place in hell fro Briles, based on what we know now. Petrino would never do what Briles did, based on what we know now.

How come you guys can't ever just say what he did? What exactly is it that we know now? Lemme guess, you gonna post a link about the Baylor rapes that doesn't say what he did either.

Last time I checked Briles is not a law enforcement officer. He is a football coach. If these girls were raped, go to the police. You don't go tell the football coach.
Yeah, girls didn't get raped then report it to the damn football coach. These sheep are making stuff up.

I'm thinking letting football players rape women on campus is too much. I say hire Jim Tressell. That's a guy with dirt I would love to have.
Letting football players rape women... did he let them off of their leashes? How exactly did he let then rape women?

Was that room a college campus? Bc I highly doubt he left any ever in his life telling anyone in the room saying" Yeah rape anyone you want" Its asinine to even suggest that. I'm sure you're the type to think Pitino was paying the hookers with his own money. Like all coaches with scandals are the root of evil. Also please tell me how Briles broke any laws, then tell me how he avoided such horrendous crimes in a state where hanging is still a "humane form of death"

Here is wat you do you put in his contract he has to give a percentage to abused woman and he must hold clinics for abused woman on off season. Give him a chance to right his wrongs.
Yeah, if there is one person that a survivor of sexual assault would love to receive advice and guidance from, it's Art Briles. Get out of here with that. He can hold all the "clinics" he wants and be forced to donate money to various programs, but it would be nothing more than a hollow gesture coming from him.

If he is proven guilty of covering up rape I want him nowhere near the UK program. Can't imagine even those who want to win so badly could back someone like that. If he is proven clean then, by all means, bring him in. Rather see us give Brohm a call though.

Wow, equating our getting beat in a game to a woman getting raped. Do you want a do over on that post?

Do you want him to change it to UK football is an abortion? I will not go so far as to say UK fans are being raped because we volunteer to follow this program but we are being taken advantage of. Mitch knows our loyalty and our pride for UK and he knows as long as the money flows all is well. So we continue our losing culture generation after generation. I have seen it for four generations now and it will soon be five.

Do you believe one has to break a law to have done something terrible? You're spinning what happened to mitigate it. Of course he didn't give the OK to Sam to rape that young lady. Sam was fully capable of being violent towards women on his own. That was an established fact and Briles was fully aware of it. Briles did invite him to join the campus community knowing Sams history.

I know, that's why I posted earlier that the money flow controllable by fans must stop.

You're the one who said who said Petrino was no where near as bad as Briles but hasn't Petrino brought in several guys who are "fully capable of violence towards women" too. Rich Brooks too, oh and Coach Cal as well. I guess they promote rape and shouldn't be employed by UK.

As I said in another thread, barring a turnaround, Mitch is a fool if he doesn't fire Stoops and interview Briles. I get it, guys. Briles was bought out (not fired, they paid him his full contractual amount according to reports I've read) due to the mishandling and cover ups involving alleged sexual assaults by a few of his FB players. It looks bad.. but..

Before Brainfart decides to be jury and executioner, interview the man (like he finally did with Calipari). Ask the hard hitting questions. Hire a independent firm to review the reports, interviews, evidence, etc. about what happened and what is really at Briles feet vs. others; along with the circumstances as to why he acted how he did. If he's really Satan, then pass. But you may be surprised what you find.

Briles is right up there with Petrino as a top notch, FB genius that a school like UK, UL, etc. wouldn't be able to sniff had he not had his transgressions. He doesn't have a history of being an assclown (like Petrino) but has screwed up royally. Remember, this is a coach who will have UK kicking butt and taking names within a few years with the talent Stoops has brought in. You can't let him slip through your fingers without talking to him.

Yes, we'll take a little PR hit and may lose a few righteous fans who do not value winning. But I watched the UL/FSU game and I didn't hear anything about Petrino's firing at Arky. I also saw a record crowd in the stands and realized they are expanding their stadium to the point where it will be bigger than Commonwealth.

Winning cures all and if you have a chance at a man like Briles, don't screw it up. Lightning is striking twice. Don't expect a third chance.

Please name the players and I'll research it. Otherwise, you're just a liar, yet again.

I'll ask again.

If recruits and their parents don't care, why do YOU.

Because let me tell ya something moral brigadiers, your opinion doesn't come close to mattering as much as their opinions. So, answer the question.

If Briles or any coach with baggage (Petrino etc) has no issues with recruits and their mothers and fathers wanting to play for them, why do YOU care?

Are these recruits and their parents thugs?

Cal had Jeremy Hunt at Memphis who assaulted his girlfriend and just invited Deandre Liggins back for BBM, he's had him back several times since he beat the **** out of his GF.

Rich Brooks had moore sexual assaults at Oregon than Art Briles. I wonder why that wasn't an issue? Oh, because the media didn't tell you how to think then and you're incapable of thinking for yourself. Despite all the rapes at Oregon Rich Brooks brought in a D-Lineman from Ohio who was accused of actual rape in HS when he couldn't get into a B1G school. I'm not saying his name because he turned his life around, he is known in Lexington, and I dont know of the allegations were true or not. You can ask a real football fan who it is in your spare time. He also recruited Ridge Wilson who was physical with his gf, he was later signed in Jokers first class.

Bobby Petrino brought in Devonte Fields who beat his girl and Willie Williams who also had an assault charge. These guys were publicly charged.

You call me a liar but you couldn't say what I lied about if your life depended on it, just like you can't say what Briles did. You seem to thrive on false accusations.

As I've said in several other post, here in Memphis Cal had issues that ranged from players in trouble with the law from prositution, to rape allegations, to inciting riots, to drugs, to other severe charges. I don't have to link them. I was there for one of the incidences on Beale Street. I only keep bringing this up because we've got fans that don't understand anything past Cal minus the NCAA infractions. There were many more issues that flagged him.

Coaches can redeem their name, and for some reason in football we won't even give the guys a chance. If Cal was a football coach and I laid out his full record at Umass and Memphis, some of you wouldn't even entertain him. And thats the truth.

It's totally hypocritical.

I'd have hired Petrino in a second. If any of you would put Briles on a college campus again until the investigation is 100% complete and all doubt put to bed about what he did or did not do, I think you need to re-exam. Petrino was a jerkoff but he didn't pose a danger to the kids on campus. Art Briles did if the allegations are close to true.

So what are you saying he did, what allegations? Oh wait, you're not saying and you won't say. Unreal that not a single one of you will say what he did.

Any adult with morals would then go somewhere with it. Just as bad as Paterno in my opinion.
