Art Briles is back in college football.
Briles, who was fired as Baylor’s head coach in May 2016 amid a major sexual assault scandal, has been hired as Grambling State’s offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. Grambling State previously denied hiring Briles but confirmed the news on Thursday.
Briles, 66, had a two-year run as a high school head coach in Texas in 2019 and 2020, but has not coached at the college level since he was fired by Baylor following the 2015 season.
At Grambling State, an HBCU that plays in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (FCS), he will join the staff of newly hired head coach Hue Jackson, the longtime NFL coach who went 3-36 as head coach of the Cleveland Browns.
