Art Briles was announced as the offensive coordinator at Grambling State on Thursday, but there still are hurdles to clear before the embattled former Baylor football coach can be approved for the position.
Grambling had yet to notify the University of Louisiana System that it intends to hire Briles as of late Friday. Once that happens, Briles will still need a majority vote from the 16-member board to formalize his hiring and join first-year Tigers coach Hue Jackson's staff. The board's next meeting is set for April 28.
"It's up to the board and our board takes things very seriously," said Cami Geisman, vice president of external affairs and chief of staff for the UL System.
