Baylor Football faced one major dilemma before taking on West Virginia Saturday. Is this the game that seals Dave Aranda’s fate?
Aranda sat on the hot seat throughout 2024. The Bears became an underachieving bunch and endured two heartbreaking losses to Colorado and BYU in consecutive weeks. Rumors were circulating, though, that Aranda was trending towards safe.
Baylor defeated the Mountaineers 49-35 to clinch bowl eligibility. And in the process, Baylor made the final decision on Aranda’s future, confirmed by NBC Sports’ College Football insider Nicole Auerbach.
“Baylor will keep Dave Aranda as its head football coach. Been trending that way for weeks, good to see it now official,” Auerbach said on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Aranda can breathe out relief. He’s guaranteed a sixth season in Waco.
How did he change his fortunes? He got the Bears to roll off four straight victories to seal the 13th contest on their schedule. Aranda even got Baylor to shake off the embarrassing 43-21 loss to Iowa State to explode on this winning streak. He’s won back the Baylor faithful. But he’s also got the backing of one prominent school legend.
