Baylor Fires Art Briles Amid Independant Investigation
26 May, 2016
Baylor football coach Art Briles, under fire for his program’s handling of several sexual assault allegations dating back to 2009, has been dismissed by the school.
Defensive coordinator Phil Bennett reportedly will be named interim head coach.
Briles, 60, was 65-37 in eight seasons at the school and had led the Bears to at least 10 victories in four of the past five seasons.
Last fall – prompted by Baylor defensive lineman Sam Ukwuachu’s sexual assault conviction — the school hired a Philadelphia law firm, Pepper Hamilton, to investigate the university’s handling of the history of allegations, and it was expected to respond publicly to that firm’s recently completed report by June 3.
Earlier this week, there were reports that the school voted to fire school president Ken Starr, but Baylor responded to those reports by saying no decision had been made on Starr’s future.
