Well Baylor's Art Briles isn't going anywhere

[MSUFORLIFE]

Just signed a 10-year deal. Don't know how much he'll get annually.

$4.3MM is what I was told. Good for him. Guy deserves it.

No doubt he deserves it. He's done an awesome job. Take a guess which head coach had more wins in his first 4 full seasons?

10 year deal?!!! Wow...there's no way I'd give any college coach outside of saban and Meyer that many years.

People forget about Jim Tressell. Remember way back when the Ohio State crap was going down. It was the biggest scandel to hit sports. Now with Sandusky, Joe Pa, Miami Johnny Football and Redmond it doesn't look like that big of a deal. I am not in the Fire Mullen camp, but if we did I want Tressell.

Only problem with Tressel is that he cannot beat an sec team.

Sounds like a perfect fit

With a show cause until Dec. 2016 there's no way I would touch Tressel.

Merlin? Time to up his salary then.

I'm not saying we need to up his salary or even give him an extension. I'm just pointing out that it takes time to turn around a traditionally bad program. In Baylor's case, it probably helps not playing in the SEC.
