5. Explosive Offense

Offense

Baylor led the nation in both total yards per game (624.5) and points per game (53.3). Their spread offense was effective both through the air led by quarterback Bryce Petty, and on the ground with extremely talented RB Lache Seastrunk leading the way.

Briles does an incredible job of playing to the strength of his team and putting them in the best possible scenario to succeed offensively. Make no mistake, teams led by Briles will score points. If the wins do not come right away, then maybe the high point totals will keep the fan base happy at the start.

4. Texas is One of the Best Jobs in the Nation

With the success that Briles has had at Baylor and a state-of-the-art $250 million stadium under construction on campus, it is fair to wonder whether he would even leave. That being said, Texas has as much, if not more history than any football program in the nation. I have a hard time believing that Briles will not leave for Austin if he is offered the job.

3. Offense is Built for Kids from Texas High Schools

Briles has built his program at Baylor almost exclusively on kids from the state of Texas. Out of the 105 athletes on his 2013 team, 92 were in-state recruits. It makes sense that he is having success with Texas kids considering the offenses that they are running in high school are built upon principles of his offense. Staying inside state boarders is the best thing that Briles can do.

Briles is known as a very good recruiter. He has done an incredible job recruiting great athletes to Baylor. He has an obvious connection to high school coaches and seems to have a way of connecting with players. Imagine what he could do with a historic program like Texas backing him up.

1. Ties to the State of Texas

State

The state of Texas has some of the best football players in the nation year after year. Briles has done an incredible job of bringing kids from Texas in to Baylor. If he gets the Longhorns logo on his side, the rest of college football might as well forget about it. Briles and Texas appear to be a match made in heaven. If both sides see this and agree, they could easily take the program back to their glory days.
