It wasn’t immediately clear whether Grambling asked Briles to resign or the coach did so on his own.The baggage surrounding Briles was well-known, but that didn't stop Jackson from making the hire last week The foundation's statement said that Briles' hiring"will be instrumental in teaching others teaching others the importance of knowing how to prevent victimization, proper reporting procedures, provide adequate resources to individuals who have been victimized and develop strong law enforcement partnerships within the community.”
