I know the reasons we shouldn't even consider Art Briles as our next head coach. It will appear as if we are appeasing our young ego-maniac QB. Briles is old. Briles doesn't use an offensive play book. Briles would be Spurrier II. Briles just signed an extension and won't leave Baylor. Etc...
But it could happen despite all that. How LIKELY is a Briles hire? I don't know. But it's probably worth looking behind the parroted 'conventional wisdom' at what he might bring to the table were Briles to be given the job. Pretty excellent effort at selling Briles as the next head coach from an ES member here:
The Art Briles Philosophy- Why he's THE man for the Redskins. THE BRILES FILES! - The Stadium - Extremeskins
I don't know how I'd feel if Briles turns out to be the guy. It would definitely be the riskiest of choices, but having had the safest of choices blow up in our faces, maybe it's time for a little risk taking? Many of the same negatives attached to Briles were voiced when the Eagles hired Chip Kelly. While it's too early to say he's a long-term success in the NFL, it's hard to argue with what he's accomplished so far. And Briles is a bigger innovator and even more dynamic coach than Kelly is...
Just curious how you all would react if Briles were to arise as the favorite to get the job?
