What would you do if Art Briles asked you if you were a man of integrity?
It happened to me, and his words have made my skin crawl ever since.
It was just last year during a football coaching clinic at the Birmingham-Jefferson County Civic Center. The clinic was for high school coaches, mostly, but it was hosted by the coaching staff at UAB.
Briles was a guest speaker, and he presented a session on the intricacies of his high-flying offensive schemes. Despite Baylor's scandal, and Briles' role, according to his former employer, of covering up a gang rape by his football players, high school coaches from Alabama not only attended the slideshow seminar, but some even waited afterwards to shake Briles' hand and chat him up.
