Former Baylor assistant under Art Briles lands NFL job with the Arizona Cardinals

One of Art Briles' former assistants at Baylor has found a job in the NFL.

The Arizona Cardinals hired Chris Achuff as their defensive line coach, the team announced on Wednesday.

Achuff was hired at Baylor in Dec. 2007 and finished his tenure with the university under acting head coach Jim Grobe, who took over after Briles was fired in May 2016 in the wake of the school's sexual assault scandal. Achuff was at Navarro last year, where another former Baylor assistant, Jim Gush, is the head coach.

A report conducted by a Philadelphia law firm said football coaches and staff mishandled sexual assault cases involving football players.
