Art Briles hired by Eastern New Mexico, 9 years after Baylor fired him amid scandal

Art Briles was hired as football coach at Eastern New Mexico on Monday, getting his first college head coaching job since Baylor fired the two-time Big 12 champion more than nine years ago amid a sexual assault scandal at the world's largest Baptist university. An external investigation revealed in May 2016 that Baylor had for years mishandled numerous sexual assault allegations by students, including some against football players. Briles has said that he didn't cover up reports of assaults by his players.
