Baylor finally fired Art Briles last week, which is always a tumultuous decision to fire an offensive wizard who also stands accused of working in league with campus police to cover up sex crimes.

Briles issued a statement Thursday, in which he admits he made mistakes.

From espn.com:

“My heart goes out to the victims for the pain that they have endured. Sexual assault has no place on our campus or in our society,” he said. “As a father of two daughters, a grandfather, and a husband, my prayers are with the victims of this type of abuse, wherever they are.”

[...]

“After 38 years of coaching, I have certainly made mistakes and, in hindsight, I would have done certain things differently,” Briles said in the statement obtained by KWTX in Waco, Texas. “I always strive to be a better coach, a better father and husband, and a better person.

“Keep in mind, the complete scope of what happened here has not been disclosed and unfortunately at this time I am contractually obligated to remain silent on the matter.”

Ah, the ol' "gotta hear both sides!" ruse. Sorry, Art. Not this time.
