FSU’s playcaller was on staff at Baylor during ’16 scandal. This is what fans are saying

Some Florida State football fans and students felt uncomfortable about the Seminoles hiring Kendal Briles as their offensive coordinator, according to a Tampa Bay Times report.

The Tampa Bay Times obtained emails through a public records request that shows outrage among some student body members and fans at hiring Briles, due to him being an assistant coach at Baylor during its sexual assault scandal.

Nineteen players were accused of sexual or domestic assault, with Briles’ father, head coach Art, as well as then-university president Ken Starr and Baylor’s athletic director losing their jobs when the scandal erupted in 2016.
