That was hands down the best look we have had since pre 2019 and I mean it was actually great look even with the 2019 yellow trim with that gold helmet.

Saw an ad or post or opinion piece writing that Baylor Fans fed up with Aranda! They left out an important word...Some! Not all..I am a fan and I know others who carry that banner and they are not fed up. Some of us understand getting in late with enough money to get the number of players needed. Ask Oklahoma State... Pickens would have given enough and their good coach would still be there. Livingston knows the bigger picture and refused to blame it all on Aranda!If we still cannot buy enough, then about 50-50 will be about it. Even if we could bring Brile4s back, without the money...50-50.

---

you are trolling us. You can't be that dumb.

---

They're all NCAA football naive, dumb or their love for Coach Mouse is all DEI excitement and thinking he's a more intelligent coach - and they are intelligent for recognizing that ….. another level of dumb.

I think they are holding on to their #1 recruit, a first in their program history. Keisean Henderson, QB

With the calendar flipping over to December 1 today I was holding out a tiny little bit of hope that we might hear some news.

Guess not. I know not having an AD in place pretty much has us stuck.

Just fire Aranda now. Hire the new AD in the next few weeks and let them pick the coach. Making the new AD's very first act be axing Aranda is a total cop-out by Linda, pure chicken*****

We fared well last time with the crap that the BOR left us . Name an interim and spend the next year evaluating potential coaches. That process brought us Rhule, 2 B12 championship games and a record six NFL draft picks.

You don't need a full year to evaluate a head coach. Waiting that long is just controlled tanking by burning an entire season on a hire that has no higher probability of success than acting decisively now. We only took the interim route in 2016 because Art Briles was fired at the end of May with zero time to conduct a proper search. Today is December 1st. We have the runway. There's no excuse to kick this decision down the road.

Agreed

Stanford just did something similar this past year

If Linda has put it out to our current recruits and their families that we are sticking with Dave and she's saying it just days before they sign their letters of intent I can't imagine we would reverse field. That would not be a cool move.

Even though I'm ready to see the change… She has pretty much painted us into a corner with that statement if we want to maintain trust as a program.

No news is bad news.

but surely if he was in the NFL with top talent he'd do well, right? not go 11-27?

I have heard this song and dance stuff for 50plus years. Baylor fans even gripe when Baylor wins conference but not national title. I am looking forward to next year and see what happens. Will be interesting to see how much all this negative talk hurts the recruitment and even NIL. But whatever happens win the wins and losses, I know it will be another year of opinions by mostly folks like me, who actually do not know what they are talking about.

I am sure that is it, LSU had to settle for Kiffin. And Va Tech, Frankland because Joey wouldn't go.

Now that Ok st got Morriss, its interesting that all the 3 closest regional conference schools (outside of TCU) are headed by guys who would be here had Bu offered.

Will be a nasty contrast unless they really pull off a great hire.

Yep, exactly what I am thinking. If Campbell pulls out, they are back to last year. I won't argue who is the better coach, but until the money came in this year, they were just Tech as usual, a team that we creamed just last year.

There is a reason for that - his record is nothing special and he won't have the relative NIL advantage vs his conference rivals like he does in the Big 12 at pretty much any other league. Without that advantage, he has shown to be mediocre or slightly above that.

He is 23-16 before this year. 59% winning record. I'd take that over Aranda.

they won 8 games and he has almost a 60% winning record not counting 2025. He would be the 2nd winningest coach ever at Baylor.

You guys put way too much on Coaching. Maguire is the same Coach he always has been, 500-600 winning percentage at Tech. Add enough NIL to buy players, Playoff team. But if you think that Maguire is the secret sauce there are 100 coaches in college that could get similar results. Coaches don't get dumb and forget how to coach just like they don't suddenly get brilliant and become playoff coaches, they rise and sink with the players and that is beyond their control in most instances.

Baylor has had enough shoot ourselves in the foot moments to tank any program in the last decade. It is one misstep after another from the sexual assault, parade of Coaches, rejection of NIL, to we pay players, to Mack having to resign. And you guys wonder why it is mediocre? It is all Aranda???? No, it is a f-ed up program and not enough NIL to overcome it.

This dude, who was apologizing for Aranda less than two months ago, thinks Matt Rhule and Joey McGuire suck.

Methinks perhaps he isn't the judge of coaching talent he thinks he is.

It's funny how that works, though. The vast majority of those who consistently downplay what Rhule and Joey have accomplished were all in on Dave Aranda until he became literally impossible to defend this past season.

First he said nothing about Matt Rhule. Matt Rhule is your obsession, you have to do your war room shtick and attack here for him even when no one says anything about him.

Secondly he didn't say McGuire sucks.

Thirdly can you address what he actually said? Do you really disagree with the substance of what he actually said?

Since they didn't end up signing with us, I guess we can act like that never happened. Linda is pretty desperate it appears to ensure DA gets at a minimum... one more year.

too much emphasis on coaching? Maguire, through 2024, has a better winning % than Teaff. Not saying Joey is Saban or even Briles, but it is weird how some on here act like he completely sucks.
