Art Briles reveals near Texas coaching deal after Baylor's Fiesta Bowl loss

Disgraced former Baylor head coach Art Briles stated he would have accepted the Texas Longhorns' head coaching position if his team had won the Fiesta Bowl against UCF in 2014. Briles made these comments in an interview, reflecting on Texas's struggles to find a successor to Mack Brown, ultimately hiring Charlie Strong, who compiled a 16-21 record over three years. Following the investigation into misconduct at Baylor, Briles lost his position in 2016. His revelation adds context to one of the most poorly managed coaching searches in Texas history.
