Rocking New Shady Look, Art Briles Has Resigned From High School Football Job

Former Baylor coach Art Briles has resigned as the head coach of Mount Vernon high school in Texas after just two seasons.

“After coaching 42 games of football from Florence, Italy to Mount Vernon, Texas in the last 22 months, I respectfully resign as head football coach and athletic director of the Mount Vernon Tigers,” Briles’ resignation read. Han and I will forever be indebted to the great folks of Mount Vernon for welcoming us into their community with trust and open arms! Also much love to the students, teachers, and administrators, but most importantly to the players, trainers, and coaches that dedicated their souls and spirit to achieve a vision of Tiger Grit. I also want to express a special thanks to Dr. McCullough and the Mount Vernon ISD School Board for their belief and trust.”

Briles, looking noticeably different (in a bad way) has many fans wondering if he’s scheming to get back into college football.

Besides the name no way people would recognize him. Looks like Briles is sneaking his way back into college football. #artbriles https://t.co/KFPsseS5JS

Briles was forced to resign as Baylor’s head coach in 2016 after he was accused of knowing about sexual assault allegations against his players, and not coming forward. The NCAA investigation into Briles and the Baylor program remains open, but it seems like he thinks he can get back into college football regardless.

I wouldn’t want Art Briles coaching my team, I don’t about you.
