This new lawsuit brings forth additional sexual assault allegations that add fuel to critics that lambasted Briles for turning a blind eye to his player’s criminal behavior.

Briles’ attorney Ernest Cannon admitted that the lawsuit was about Briles trying to recapture his good name. Terry W. Yates predicted that this was the motivation behind the lawsuit when he discussed this matter with Granato & Raheel with Del on ESPN Radio 97.5.

Yates adds, “The risk is just too great for Briles to pursue this lawsuit. With these new allegations, he is going to be playing defense again.”
