Louisiana State University defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has been hired to be Baylor University’s next head football coach. Aranda joins the Bears as the curator of the national champion Tigers defense.
The former LSU coach spent the past four seasons in Baton Rouge, La, as associate head coach and DC, coaching one of the best units in the college ranks. Before LSU, Aranda spent three years as DC at Wisconsin. His teams have finished with an average No. 20 ranking in defense over the past seven years.
“Today is an exciting day for Baylor,” Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Mack Rhoades said.
