FSU football officially announced the hire of new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles Sunday afternoon.
It was a move that had been expected for some time, but we learned Briles wanted to coach through Houston’s bowl game which potentially saved FSU money contract wise.
It’s a move that likely will not come without some backlash, although things seem to be relatively quiet among national writers.
There are some FSU fans that have voiced their displeasure for the hire and they are certainly entitled to their opinions.
Briles was an assistant coach under his father Art Briles at Baylor who was fired amid a huge sexual assault scandal that came to light after the 2015 season.
