Fired coach Art Briles lambastes Baylor

A day after filing a motion accusing Baylor of wrongful termination, former Bears head coach Art Briles has reportedly reached a contract settlement with the school.

Cannon filed the motion in U.S. District Court in Waco after learning that the university’s attorneys scheduled mediation Friday with Hernandez, who filed a lawsuit in March that names Baylor’s Board of Regents, Briles, and Athletic Director Ian McCaw as defendants.

It also provided more detail about Briles’ involvement with investigators from the Pepper Hamilton law firm, which Baylor hired last fall to review the school’s response to sexual assaults.

According to Cannon, Briles met with Baylor’s attorneys on April 7 to go over information pertaining to the lawsuit but now the school is using that information against the former football coach. Hernandez was raped in 2012 by football player Tevin Elliott, who was convicted and received a 20-year prison sentence.

Given the Briles brought the Baylor program to new heights, which allowed the team to relocate to new McLane Stadium after years of toiling away in decrepit Floyd Casey Stadium in relative obscurity, money is a huge issue here with the troubled university and the fired head coach.

Briles was sacked by Baylor last month in the wake of a wide-ranging sexual assault scandal at the school, which included numerous football players.

Hernandez has chosen to be identified as she is speaking publicly to draw attention to the situation.

He’s now toxic and no athletic director or university president will risk approaching him despite his success at Baylor. It also alleged that Briles was aware of other assault claims made against the same player but, again, did not take any action. Briles’ legal filings came hours later.

Baylor spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said in a statement Tuesday that the school’s “Board of Regents did meet.to discuss a variety of matters”.

“That’s some infighting between them”, Zalkin said. Briles’ attorneys did not respond to requests for comment. “We’ll let them figure out who is representing who”.

“Briles’ claims are that Baylor’s lawyers “used statements, text messages, emails, and other personal information obtained for the goal of this litigation” against Briles in support of his termination on May 26″.

He’s demanding that the court appoint Briles with new counsel as well as turn over every piece of information pertaining to the lawsuit including the report put together by the lawfirm of Pepper Hamilton.

The letter attached to the motion states, per CBS Sports, that Briles will not accept any settlement in the civil rights case.
