An idea that many had to think would never resurface in the world of college or high school football in the state of Texas just became a reality. Mount Vernon Independent hired former Baylor Bears head football coach Art Briles to coach its football team it announced over the weekend.
This will be the first time that we see Art Briles returning to the world of coaching football at any level since the Baylor football program let him go amid a slew of scandals and investigations back in the 2016 off-season. The last full season that Briles coached Baylor was during the 2015 campaign when he nearly led his team to a Big 12 Championship for the second time.
