Former Baylor University head football coach Art Briles confirmed he wants another coaching job after getting dismissed by the Bears program amid the school's sexual assault scandal.

Joseph Goodman of AL.com passed along comments Briles made Friday during an appearance at the Birmingham Football Coaching Clinic. He wants to "be able to do what I've done all my life again, which is coach football and be around young people and help young people."

The 61-year-old Texas native doesn't have an exact timetable for getting back on the sideline. He's trying to make sure all of those who worked alongside him at Baylor land on their feet before looking toward his own options for next season and beyond.
