After getting demolished by Army in the Armed Forces Bowl, there figured to be some changes to come with the Houston coaching staff. One of those dominos appears to be in motion as it is being reported offensive coordinator Kendal Briles is resigning from his position on the coaching staff. Bruce Feldman of The Athletic was the first to report news of the resignation, via Twitter.

Whether this resignation is a quick result of the awful performance by the Houston offense against Army or not remains to be clarified, although Briles has reportedly been ready to be on the move during this offseason anyway. Florida State has been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Briles previously so it would appear that this resignation is all a part of the plan for Briles.
Briles would be returning to the state of Florida, where he previously coached as an assistant under Lane Kiffin at FAU following the fallout of a scandal at Baylor he was associated with. Questions about Briles will continue to follow him wherever he goes, yet he continues to be moving up in the coaching world despite the cloud that will linger above him.
