A little over three months after being fired by Baylor, Art Briles has issued an apology for the actions of student-athletes during his tenure as head football coach.
Briles told ESPN's Tom Rinaldi:
I made mistakes. I did wrong, but I'm not doing this trying to make myself feel better for apologizing. I understand I made some mistakes. There were some bad things that went on under my watch. I was the captain of this ship. The captain of the ship goes down with it.
So, I understand that I made some mistakes, and for that I'm sorry.
