WACO, Tex. — Working for your father can be tricky, no matter the profession. At Baylor, where the Brileses’ family business is scoring touchdowns and winning Big 12 titles, just how difficult that could become is about to be tested.
Bears Coach Art Briles has put his son in charge of the most productive offense in the nation. Kendal Briles, 32, will be the one of the youngest offensive coordinators in major college football. It is as if he were getting the keys to Pop’s car — and the car was a Maserati. If it wrecks, don’t be surprised if Baylor fans are looking for the head coach to ground his son.
