New Houston offensive coordinator Kendal Briles met with local media on Friday as the Cougars introduced their new coaches.

Eventually, a question about Briles' past came up. Two years ago, he was the offensive coordinator at Baylor when his father, Art Briles, was fired in the wake of the school's sexual assault scandal.

Kendal, who was never named in an internal report conducted by a Philadelphia law firm, finished the 2017 season but has rarely gone on the record discussing the end of his tenure in Waco.

On Friday, the younger Briles said he wanted people to "judge me for me."

"I lived my whole life pretty pure, and you can judge me for what I do," Briles said during a small news conference."

No Baylor coaches were individually named in the findings of fact released by the Pepper Hamilton law firm in the spring of 2016. However, it did say football coaches and staff members mishandled gender violence cases that included sexual assault.

A lawsuit filed in 2017 alleged that Kendal Briles and the Baylor coaching staff "used sex to sell" the Bears' football program to recruits.

This offseason, Houston hired Briles and another former Baylor assistant, Randy Clements, to the Cougars' staff. Briles spent last season as Florida Atlantic's offensive coordinator, while Clements coached the offensive line at Southeastern University, an NAIA school in Florida. Clements will lead the same unit for head coach Major Applewhite's team in Houston.

In the initial written agreements between Houston and the former Baylor assistants, there's a clause that states the university can fire each man for cause for any misconduct they participated in prior to joining the Cougars.

Clements also issued a similar response to Briles when he met with the media on Friday.

"If you know a person and you have a relationship with that person, then you're in a proper place to judge," Clements said. "Judge me for me. Judge me for what we do on the field."

According to the Houston Chronicle, Houston president Renu Khator told faculty members the university conducted an "above and beyond" review of Briles and Clements.

The small clip from Briles' first news conference at Houston slightly contrasted his initial meeting with media at Florida Atlantic.

When Briles was asked about Baylor and coaching in 2017 in the absence of his father, Briles declined to comment.

"I'm not going to get into that, guys," Briles said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

In Briles' only season at Florida Atlantic, the Owls' offense was ninth in the country in total offense. Florida Atlantic went 11-3 and were Conference USA champions. It was the football team's fourth winning season since its first year in 2004.
