WACO, Tx. (CBS) -- According to CBS Sports, a former Temple football coach was fired from his job at Baylor on Monday after being arrested over the weekend. He was charged with prostitution solicitation.

The school released a statement regarding the firing of Washington. "Brandon's actions are completely unacceptable. We will not tolerate conduct that is contradictory to these values," Rhule said in the statement.
