Briles > Snyder

[scottwildcat]

Oh yeah how many trophies does briles have?

the same amount.

I feel like briles big moment was when he hired bennett as the dc.

In response to IP I'd say currently but not all time yet

Interview with Bennett said he never once turned on his computer while coaching at smu, even snyder would chuckle at that (i think).

Did YOUR gym teacher use a computer? Mine sure didn't.

Yes, he did

moving forward, who would I take?  Briles.  But that doesn't diminish what Bill has done.  Bill's accomplishments (to this point) are remarkably better than Briles. 

This is the right answer.  We should usher Bill into retirement and name a stadium after him or something, and hire Briles.

Let's revisit this in 10 years.  Then, it will be:  LHC Bill Snyder, Hall of Famer, five-time conference coach of the year, three-time national coach of the year, four-time conference champion; national championship in 2014 (first year of playoffs) and playoff semifinalists in 2015.

Briles:  Best BU coach since Graft Taft; got BU share of conference in 2013.  Then, team underperformed in 2014, finishing 6-3 (and tied for second to champ KSU), and then lack of player discipline and recruiting scandals led to his eventual departure.  Produced the best run of BU football since the 1970's, but no Hall of Famer.

Oops. Like the zeal though.

Negative.  Briles has an outright Conference USA champy too.

[DQ12]

Briles now 4-1 vs Snyder, with 1 outright Dr. Pepper and 1 shared Dr. Pepper.

Yeah, Briles ownership of Snyder has surpassed Leach and Stoops. I take some small measure of solace in the fact that at least Baylor is now winning the conference and has become a legit elite contender the last 2 seasons. Also, Snyder has won at Norman 2 straight times.

Also, in 2012, when we played Baylor, they were playing as good as anyone at the conference at that point.  At some point during that 2012 season for them, things just clicked into place.  They've been playing at a super high level ever since.

Would like to see how Briles does once his staff starts moving on and up. That is the one thing that makes Bill 1.0 so amazing.

It took 15 years.

Let's revisit in ten years.  Snyder will be hall of famer; maybe have a national championship.  Regardless of what Briles manages to achieve before the crap hits the fan, we know it will have hit the fan in ten years.  When it does, even Dave Bliss will be appalled.

a simple "i was wrong" would have worked

Bennett is a loser head coach who probably won't go anywhere, have any of his offensive assistants left?

   All have been there for all 7 years at Baylor, assume most where also at Houston. Defensive staff was rebuilt by Bennett.

Man, sounds like Briles caught lightning in a bottle with his staff...

The turnover on the defensive staff was the biggest problem for Bill 1.0, especially when you add in the fact those were some of the best recruiters. 

It is unlikely Briles loses anyone from his defensive staff and I doubt losing many offensive assistants will be much of a problem.  In fact, Briles would likely replace any losses with an up and coming Texas HS coach that further adds to his recruiting base in Texas. 

With Strong not embracing the Texas HS HUNH style and OU stuck in a rut it is not hard to imagine Briles on run of double digit win seasons not unlike DoD 1.0.

@TravHaneyESPN: POST: Big 12 talks, assesses after its bad weekend. (Members aren't pleased with Briles.) Who's next at Houston? (In) http://es.pn/163jbAq

What do they say about briles? I hate that guy.

[meow meow]

it's pretty sick what some people can make jokes about

[bshea85]

I remember the days when Baylor was an automatic "W" for Kstate.  It didn't matter if we played at home or away, Baylor just rolled over.

That really put a charge into you, eh?
