Former fired Baylor coach Art Briles finally gets a new job: report

Former Baylor football coach Art Briles found a team that would hire him.

Briles, who was fired in May 2016 after a sexual assault rocked his program, will coach the Guelfi Firenze American Football team, an Italian team located in Florence.

"I'm a football coach and it's all I've ever done and all I've ever really had a passion to do; this gives me a chance to be on the field and between the lines," Briles told Mac Engel of the Fort Worth-Star Telegram. "(This is) a situation where I can build a team over there and it's inspiring to me.
