Among the disclosures:  17 women reported incidents of sexual or domestic assault involving 19 football players — including four alleged gang rapes — since 2011. According to the board members, there was at least one instance in which Briles “knew about an alleged incident and didn’t alert police, the school’s judicial-affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the school’s response to sexual violence.” Dallas lawyer J. Cary Gray, a member of the board, told the Journal, “We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK.”

Gray detailed to the Journal that on May 24, two days before Briles’s firing, the coach teared up upon being asked in a meeting with the board what he would have done differently. According to Gray, several members of the board cried as well.

In response to Gray’s claim, Briles’s attorney, Ernest Cannon, told the Journal that in the meeting, Briles quoted scripture and expressed regret over the situation, but never admitted to any wrongdoing.

In September, Briles told ESPN, “There were some bad things that happened under my watch. And for that, I’m sorry. . . . I was wrong. I’m sorry. I’m going to learn. I’m going to get better.” When visiting the Houston Texans’ training camp in August, Briles said, “I’ve been in it 38 years, and I’ve done, you know, lived the right way for 60 years of my life. I’ve never done anything illegal, immoral, unethical.”
