Baylor has officially made a significant coaching change, parting ways with head football coach Dave Aranda. The university announced Aranda's termination on October 25, 2026, following a disappointing 4-3 start to the current 2026 season. This decision marks the end of his seven-year tenure with the Bears.
Aranda's time in Waco saw moments of success, most notably a 12-2 record in 2021 capped by a Sugar Bowl victory. However, this success was overshadowed by inconsistency, with four losing seasons and a losing record in Big 12 play during his tenure. His overall record stands at 40-40, with a 26-32 record in conference games.
