If the Texas Tech Red Raiders thought they were going to be able to lure Art Briles away from Baylor, think again.
Briles just announced within the last 30 minutes that he's not leaving Baylor for Tech.
"I am proud to be a Baylor Bear and remain committed to making this program a source of pride for the Baylor family," Briles said in a statement released by Baylor. "I feel good about the direction of our program and the foundation that has been built for future success.
"Our coaching staff is excited to finish this recruiting class strong and start preparations for the 2010 season. Happy New Year and Sic 'em Bears, Baylor fans.''
The Tech job became available Wednesday when the schools surprisingly fired popular coach Mike Leach.
Briles signed a seven-year contract with the Bears two years ago, and so far has produced an 8-16 record
Other candidates for the Tech job include TCU coach Gary Patterson, Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, Tech defensive coordinator and interim coach Ruffin McNeill, Arizona offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes and former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville
