He needs to shut up and start scheduling better opponents.

And he needs to tell his players to stop jumping around and taunting the opponent from across the field when his team gets a little bit of a lead.

He's a smart coach, but his antics and self-absorption is bad for college football.

The bad news for college football is that his Baylor team is likely to get even better than they've been in the past two seasons. They have the potential to field the type of dominant defensive line that I think is necessary to win a National Championship. They ran into problems against MSU when MSU made them stay on the field for sustained drives over the course of four physical quarters. So it remains to be seen whether Baylor's program, coaches and practices can sufficiently develop their excellent talent on the d-line. Oakman and Billings tapped out for the last 15 minutes against MSU. But those two guys have immense, immense, immense talent. Put those guys at MSU, OSU, Alabama or LSU and they would be the foundation for a dominant d-line. We'll see what Briles' staff can do with them.
