FORT WORTH, Texas -- Houston coach Art Briles has been chosen as Baylor's new football coach, and will be introduced Wednesday evening.

Baylor spokesman Nick Joos said the school had called a news conference later in the day to "name the school's new football coach."

Briles has led Houston to four bowls in his five seasons. He was offered the job after meeting with Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw on Tuesday in Dallas.

According to the Houston Chronicle, it will be a 7-year deal with an annual salary of about $1.8 million each year. Good hire?

We will just have to wait and see on this one. Jumping from C-USA to the Big 12 will definitely test his skills.

I think he's in over his head. I also think Baylor has very unrealistic expectations.
