Grambling State hires ex-Baylor football coach Art Briles as offensive coordinator

Art Briles, who was fired as Baylor's head coach in 2016 following the university's investigation into campus-wide allegations of sexual assault, has been hired as Grambling State's offensive coordinator, an athletics department spokesman confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

Former Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson was hired as Grambling State's head coach in December.

Briles, 66, has been out of college coaching since May 2016, when Baylor officials suspended him with intent to terminate for his role in the school's sexual assault scandal. He later reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Baylor, where he coached from 2008 to 2015, posting a 65-37 record and winning a share of back-to-back Big 12 titles in 2013 and 2014.
