Ever since winning the Big 12 Championship back in 2021, Baylor has been a team no one has worried too much about in the Big 12. The Bears had another abysmal season finishing 3-9, head coach Dave Aranda is probably starting to feel his seat heating up.

The Bears have consistently struggled on offense thanks to the revolving door that is the quarterback position. Now they have DeQuan Finn from Toledo running the plays behind center, along with a new offensive coordinator and running backs coach.

Things could be turning around at Baylor, but the athletic department took a chance on Aranda and now he needs to put his mouth where his mouth is. If the Bears don't improve this season, they could be looking for a new head coach.
