Summary
- Robert Griffin III expressed 100% interest in the vacant Baylor head coach position.
- He believes Baylor needs leaders who understand winning in Waco.

Robert Griffin III, Baylor's sole Heisman Trophy winner, has publicly expressed his strong interest in the vacant head coaching position following Dave Aranda's departure. Griffin III stated on national radio that he is "100% interested" and believes the program needs individuals who know how to achieve victory at Baylor.
He has reportedly spoken with athletic director Doug McNamee about the opportunity. Beyond his own candidacy, Griffin III also recommended Spencer Danielson (Boise State), Jeff Traylor (UTSA), and Lincoln Riley (USC) as capable coaches for the role. Baylor's search for a new head coach began after Aranda was fired on October 25, ending his seven-season tenure with a 40-40 record and a Big 12 title.
Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman is currently serving as the interim head coach. Griffin III, now a college football analyst for Fox, has remained a prominent figure, drawing attention for both his on-air commentary and his opinions regarding game events.
