Art Briles, who spent 8 seasons as coach at Baylor and was heralded as on of football's most innovative, celebrated figures, was deemed unemployable after being fired in 2016 amid a sexual assault scandal that continues to rock Baylor. He's now the Tigers' head coach.

Briles and Baylor president Ken Starr lost their jobs in the wake of the sexual assault scandal that rocked the University; and while Briles has long maintained that he did nothing wrong controversy has followed him ever since. Including Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon, the seat of Franklin County, sits along Interstate 30. Oaks, elms and white signposts marking historic houses dot the gently rolling hills of the northeast Texas childhood home of former Dallas Cowboy Don Meredith.
