Former Baylor football coach Art Briles will not be coaching the Canadian Football League, the league announced Monday night.
Briles, fired last year after the university's investigation of its handling of allegations of sexual assaults by students, including football players, had been hired earlier Monday by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as assistant head coach for offense under head coach June Jones.
"Art Briles will no longer be joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a coach," the CFL said in a statement. "We came to this decision this evening following a lengthy discussion between the league and the Hamilton organization.
