The hiring of Kendal Briles as the offensive coordinator for the TCU football team in 2023 has caused significant controversy and backlash. Briles, the son of former Baylor head coach Art Briles, has a troubling past that has many questioning the decision to bring him on board.
During his time at Baylor, Kendal Briles was part of a coaching staff that was accused of mishandling sexual assault allegations against players. The university was embroiled in a scandal that led to the firing of both Art and Kendal Briles, as well as other members of the coaching staff.
Critics of the hire argue that Kendal Briles' association with the scandal at Baylor should disqualify him from any future coaching positions. They argue that the university's decision to bring him on board sends a message that they do not take sexual assault allegations seriously and are willing to overlook such behavior in the pursuit of winning football games.
Many students, alumni, and members of the community have expressed their disappointment and anger at the decision to hire Kendal Briles. They feel that the university should have shown more consideration for the victims of sexual assault and the impact that Briles' presence on the coaching staff could have on them.
The hiring of Kendal Briles has put TCU in a difficult position. The university will have to work hard to regain the trust and support of those who feel let down by this decision. It remains to be seen how this situation will play out, but one thing is certain: the decision to hire Kendal Briles as offensive coordinator has sparked a lot of negative reactions and discussions.
