Report: Football Team in Italy Hires Ex-Baylor Coach Art Briles

Former Baylor coach Art Briles is set to coach an American football team in Italy, reports the Fort Worth Star–Telegram.

According to the report, Briles will coach this fall for the Guelfi Firenze American Football team, which is based in Florence.

Briles was fired in May 2016 by Baylor after an investigation by a Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton found the school botched several sexual assault cases, including some involving football players. Briles and other Baylor officials reportedly failed to take disciplinary action against several football players accused of rape despite being aware of the allegations.
