While everyone knew that Baylor and Art Briles were going to come to an agreement on a mutual settlement to terminate the head coach, it was only just a matter of time before it became effective immediately.

On Friday, Baylor and Briles issued a joint announcement about the termination of their employment relationship.

When Baylor initially removed Briles as head coach, everyone knew it wasn’t going to be so simple. Briles was in the midst of a $40 million contract and he wasn’t going to leave without getting his share.

It dragged out and after some litigation, the two sides were reportedly close to an agreement last week. Now, they have officially terminated their relationship with each other and both sides can move on.

With the way reports of sexual violence were handled and the lack of discipline, it’s going to be a long road for both parties as they try to turn their respective pages.

It will be interesting to see where Briles ends up next as a coach, if someone is willing to take that chance.
