Interesting conundrum for Briles.
On the one hand, he needs to show contrition in order to rehabilitate his image. But to do that, he has to admit wrongdoing....as in, how can you be apologetic / regretful / contrite if you really and truly did nothing wrong?
BUT
There's the small matter of an eight-digit suit against Baylor for wrongful termination. Which, based on a quick Google search, it appears he is still pursuing. Which suit hinges on his contention that Baylor terminated him without cause and therefore owes him the rest of his contract, plus damages for loss of reputation (nevermind how laughable that last part is).
So if he did nothing wrong (as he alleges in his lawsuit), why is he going on national TV trumpeting how he wishes he'd done things differently? If he does indeed have things for which he is so regretful that it requires a nationally televised cleansing of the soul, what are the grounds for his lawsuit?
So which is more important to him -- money or reputation? Given an ego that would make Jerry Jones or Bobby Petrino blush, I think we know the answer.
