I'm not certain about this, but looks like Briles turned over play calling around 2012. Here is a quote from the first part of 2013 season.
Baylor Coach Art Briles is one of the brilliant offensive minds in coaching. His Bears have scored 19 touchdowns in two games this season and lead the nation with a 69.5 points-per-game average. Yet even Briles has turned over most of the play calling to coordinator Philip Montgomery.
“I’ve really backed off here the last year or two,” Briles said. “I think it’s really helped me and it’s helped us as a football team. It’s allowed me to do more things.”
So here are the stats from 2012-2014. Pretty dang good.
