Former Baylor head coach Art Briles is back in the mix as far as coaching jobs at the college level. On Monday, FootballScoop‘s Zach Burnett reported that Grambling is showing interest in bringing Briles on as an offensive coordinator.
Briles hasn’t coached NCAA football since his ousting at Baylor back in 2016. In the meantime, he briefly served as an OC in the CFL and in Italy for part of 2019.

“It’s funny to me how coaches preach about eliminating distractions and such and then go out and do something that they have to know will be a massive distraction. Also: this is not a justifiable hire!”
