Southern Mississippi’s football team has told former Baylor football coach Art Briles he will not be offered the position of offensive coordinator, sources said on Wednesday morning.
The former Baylor coach, who was fired in May of 2016 amid a sexual assault scandal, has been out of college coaching since then. He was hired by a team in Florence, Italy last year.
Briles, 63, was in Hattiesburg, Miss. over the last two days. He met with head coach Jay Hopson, as well as the the university president and athletic director on Tuesday.
It was apparent that Hopson wanted to hire Briles, but was over ruled by the school’s administration.
