Art Briles fired for player misconduct. This is big for a few reasons
1) Character counts : Player misconduct can create a social media firestorm than athletic departments (and their respective universities) do not want to handle
2) Art Briles IS Baylor football : They were downright terrible before he was there and he turned Baylor into one of the premier teams in the Big 12
3) His son, Kendall Briles, remains on staff : Kendall had the opportunity to interview for some HC positions during the offseason, IIRC. His father's termination for player misconduct COULD slow down the rise of one of the brightest up-and-coming stars in the coaching profession.
