Yes, you read that right. Art Briles is back coaching in the state of Texas. Briles was announced as the new head coach of Mount Vernon High School Friday evening, per a release from Mount Vernon ISD.

Briles was fired in May 2016 during the massive sexual assault scandal at Baylor and has struggled to get hired since. He was briefly hired by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL, however after a ton of backlash, the offer was rescinded. Briles did also interview for the offensive coordinator position at Southern Miss earlier this year but he did not get the job.

Briles as a head coach in college owns a record of 99 wins and 65 losses.
