Calls Mount for College Football Program to Fire Two-Win Coach

The college football rumors are buzzing about potential coaching changes that could happen soon in the power conferences, including the Big 12. We've already touched on possible hot seat candidates like Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze and Billy Napier with the Florida Gators.

One Texas teams was on a bye, but the college football rumors did not stop swirling about the head coach's future. This team is winless in conference play at 0-3 and has just two wins on the season.

The program is riding a three-game losing streak into a Week 8 matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Baylor Bears are still looking for the team's first win against a power conference opponent, and all eyes are on Dave Aranda's future in Waco.

The Athletic's Bruce Feldman explained why Aranda's future with Baylor is very much in doubt.

"The wild roller coaster ride that has been Aranda’s tenure in Waco, Texas has struggled to ramp back up," Feldman wrote on Oct. 16. "He went 2-7 in his first season and then, after overhauling his offensive staff, led Baylor to a 12-2 season, finishing No. 5. Since then, the Bears are 11-20.

"Baylor almost made a coaching change last winter but showed more patience with Aranda. There were more staff moves made that included Aranda taking over the defense this season. But after some good early signs, that side of the ball is struggling again. The issue has been that Aranda hasn’t recruited well enough or close to the level that Matt Rhule did."

Fans and media members alike seem to agree on Aranda's future.

If Baylor does move on from Aranda, don't be surprised if there is a push for a Texas trade. Keep an eye on Texas State head coach GJ Kinne who led the Bobcats to an 11-point upset win over Baylor in 2023.
