Former Baylor coach Art Brlies releases first statement after being fired

Art Briles said he still hasn’t seen the full results of the investigation that led to his dismissal as Baylor University’s football coach, among a slough of other personnel changes, at the school last week.

Briles issued a statement Thursday in his first public comments since the report led by the law firm Pepper Hamilton claimed the school --- and the football program in particular – failed to respond to accusation of sexual abuse and dating violence allegedly committed by Baylor football players.

“The report prepared by Pepper Hamilton, the law firm hired and paid for by Baylor's Board of Regents, has not been shared with me directly, despite my full cooperation with the investigation,” Briles said in a statement to KWTX-News 10.
