Former Baylor Bears head coach Art Briles has accepted an offer from the Guelfi Firenze American football team in Italy.
On Thursday, Mac Engel of the Star-Telegram reported Briles will coach the organization's adult team starting in October. The regular season kicks off in March.
"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," he said. "(This is) a situation where I can build a team over there and it's inspiring to me.
