Message: [QUOTE="OrangeJohn, post: 1578183, member: 5392"] It all started by hiring Art Briles. Baylor was a gigantic dumpster fire for a very long time. They did not belong in the Big 12 at all until Briles turned things around. High school coach who turned a bad high school team into one the winningest teams. Goes to Houston and immediately turns things around (Willie Fritz's career is very similar). He didn't need 5 years to get his guys in there. What made it possible to steal Briles from Houston to Baylor? A decent salary and membership in a BCS conference (What we have by being P5). Spend the money, get the coach, get the wins, get the money, lather, rinse, repeat. Virtuous cycle versus the current death cycle. [/QUOTE]
