Sure, Mike Singletary for Baylor

As you’ve heard, the Baylor football program is in some trouble. Were it a train, it would still be on the tracks, but there would be bolts popping out and sparks flying all over the place.

Baylor won Big 12 championships in 2013 and 2014, but it is only a decade removed from the days when the Associated Press sometimes referred to it as “lowly Baylor, and now an independent investigation into sexual assault allegations has resulted in the termination of Art Briles, one of the most successful coaches in program history. Most people think this is just the beginning. These are worrisome times.

In a situation like this, you need one of your own, you need a man of known integrity, you need a guy cannot play with ’em, cannot win with ’em, cannot coach with ’em.

Yes, Mike Singletary, Baylor graduate, NFL Hall-of-Famer, son of a Dallas street preacher, is being earnestly discussed as a candidate for the newly open Baylor football job, as Bruce Feldman suggested at FoxSports.com.

"The scenario I could see is they bring in Mike Singletary, who is one of the greatest players they’ve ever had there and he has head coaching experience. He once tried to get the job. He’s not a coach right now. And he’s the intertim. Now I don’t know what he would do offensively or any of that stuff, because that’s not an offense he’s familiar with or anything like that. But that would be the short-term thing if he would just organizationally try to be the face of the program in the wake of all this."

I mean, sure. Baylor should go out and get Mike Singletary. His biographical information and general disposition are appropriate for the moment, and he has some previous coaching experience.

Mike Singletary it is.
