Does Southern Miss really want to go there? What gambling on Ex-Baylor coach Art Briles would mean for the program

Art Briles needs someone desperate and determined enough to give him a second chance three years after a sexual assault scandal cost him his job as Baylor's football coach.

Enter Southern Mississippi, which is searching for an offensive coordinator after Shannon Dawson left to join Dana Holgorsen's staff at Houston. On Monday, the Biloxi Sun Herald reported that Briles was on campus for an interview.

The initial social media reaction was not kind and if Southern Miss goes through with the hire it will get worse. You know that Super Bowl commercial where the Game of Thrones dragon torches the whole medieval Bud Light kingdom?
