After knocking off West Virginia 49-35 and clinching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2022, a Baylor spokesman confirmed that head coach Dave Aranda will return for a sixth season in Waco.
Aranda is 29-29 all-time as Baylor’s head coach and led the team to a Big 12 Championship victory in 2021. Following a program record 12-2 season, Aranda went 6-7 in 2022 and 3-9 in 2023, which led to speculation regarding his future in Waco. Now, riding a four-game winning streak, Aranda and the Bears are bowl-bound without questions about the future.
