Will Art Briles be back as Baylor’s coach in 2017? While USA Today’s Dan Wolken writes that a “small minority of Baylor donors have been pushing behind the scenes” to make that scenario — a one-year suspension — happen, he said it was “unlikely to result in any action.”

Citing a “person with knowledge of the situation,” Wolken wrote that “there is indeed a faction of voices within the school’s Board of Regents still supporting Briles and urging the school to bring him back,” before noting that those people “were few in number at this point and considered to be on the margins.”

Chip Brown with Horns Digest wrote Monday that the Baylor board of regents would consider the one-year suspension on Monday, though he wrote “it’s unclear if there are enough votes” to make the suspension a reality.

Jason King with Bleacher Report confirmed that the board was considering the move.

Certainly, as Wolken wrote, there would be “significant pushback” to the move, which would come after Briles was suspended “with intent to terminate” for his role mishandling a number of sexual assaults involving Baylor football players. Baylor president Ken Starr was demoted, while athletics director Ian McCaw resigned.

Former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe will coach Baylor as interim coach for the 2016 season.
