Four days after Mount Vernon High School announced the hiring of Art Briles as its new football coach, the school is coming under fire for its vetting process of the former Baylor coach.
Superintendent Jason McCullough spoke to the media on Tuesday and told WFAA that the school did not speak to any sexual assault victims at Baylor or any NCAA officials prior to the hire. McCullough also said the only person the school spoke to with connections to the NCAA is former Baylor coach and former American Football Coaches Association executive director Grant Teaff.
"We took a lot of time looking through the reports, interviewing personal acquaintances, as well as previous supervisors that had personal information and contact and knowledge of Coach Briles," he told KCEN.
