Art Briles has built the Baylor Bears football program from a pathetic doormat into a national power. But at what cost?
The Baylor program has been beset by scandal of sexual-assault and battery by football players, and the cover-ups by the University and by the coaching staff.
Baylor president Ken Starr and "Additional members of the Administration and Athletics" are out as well. The official release can be seen at the school's website.
Players were notified of the news via a text message from Briles. Defensive coordinator Phil Bennett is expected to take over as interim coach.
BRILES BAYLOR RECORD
Before Briles arrival, the Bears had not been to a bowl game since 1994 and had not had a winning record since 1995. Baylor went through four head coaches between Grant Teaff's departure in 1992 and Briles' arrival in 2008. Briles brought the school their very first Heisman winner in Robert Griffin III in 2011.
