Grambling State has announced former Baylor head coach Art Briles as its next offensive coordinator, but his hiring is subject to majority approval from the 16-member University of Louisiana System in an April 28 vote, per Koki Riley of the Monroe News-Star.
"It's up to the board and our board takes things very seriously," vice president of external affairs and chief of staff for the UL System Cami Geisman said.
"They're not a rubber-stamp board by any means."
UL System President Jim Henderson provided additional comments.
"Certainly when there is a high-profile hire, there's going to be additional scrutiny at the System level," he said, without referring to Briles specifically.
