Episode #1023: Art Briles

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by legendary football coach Art Briles. Coach Briles, the former head coach at Baylor University, was instrumental in transforming the Bears into a powerhouse program and capturing two Big 12 Championships.

They dive into the ever-changing landscape of college football with NIL deals and player compensation, growing up playing small-town Texas football, and whether old-school smash-mouth football could ever make a comeback. Coach Briles also shares his insights on the grueling workload coaches face during the season, the family sacrifices that come with it, his philosophies on leadership and mentoring young athletes, and whether he’d ever consider a return to the college sidelines.
