Division II Eastern New Mexico named Art Briles as its new head coach on Monday morning.

"I am excited to welcome Art to Eastern New Mexico University," athletic director Kevin Fite said in a release. "He is an excellent coach, and I look forward to the future of Greyhound football."

Briles, 69, hasn't coached in college football since 2016. He was fired from Baylor after a review of the school's handling of sexual assault allegations made against multiple football players.

That investigation has resulted in backlash whenever teams have expressed interest in hiring Briles.

Grambling State caused an uproar in 2022 when the school tried to bring in Briles as its offensive coordinator, resulting in him withdrawing his name from consideration as a means of avoiding a distraction.
