UTSA HC Jeff Traylor is still available. He's got strong Texas high school coaches ties, he's a winner and his teams plays with ALOT of heart. His offense is fast and high scoring. He's already better than the coach we got now.
There's time to make the move.

If '26 season generates a 6/6 or 7/5 year I'm not so sure. Linda will make that call. Betting the "AD" is on a leash. Just watched a YT interview with David Smoak with Dayton McLane. Presently not sure the money would be there. Yoda may run to the end of his contract.

No move being made. Portal is on the doorstep. Slow start to next year and the AD will make a move. We'd have a new coach if Rhoades hadn't done what he did but instead we got a new AD. Linda will not be hiring the next football coach… I do not understand people who keep saying this. The new AD will decide what happens with football, she even said that in her dumb little letter.

Either the AD has the authority to hire a new coach or he doesn't and that power lies with the president. Livingstone stuck her neck out and said that we need AD to make these decisions and now we hav wine and he hasn't done anything. Utah will have a new coach before we will.

Utah had a head coach in waiting, there was no search. No AD we hired was walking in here and conducting a coaching search in record time. Other schools that made quick hires had AD's in place.

Dickey could've brought Danielson. Mosley could've brought Morris. You can do these hires simultaneously, there isn't anything special about Baylor's situation except our willingness to delay and accept results that no other program would.

If he goes to 6 or 7 W's, BU will take the position that they're on the upswing and find multiple excuses for the poor play, energy-malaise and loss of fan support, the first being Mack Rhoades. Weak sauce all way around.

A 6 or even 7-win year is not good enough to save Aranda's job, IMO. It means he's stuck in mediocrity. Some years, he'll get you 8. Most years, he'll be borderline or have losing seasons. 2025 was proof that Aranda was not it. Only Mack going rogue kept Aranda from getting the boot this year. 8 wins is his floor next year, or he's out.

100 percent.
At UTSA, Traylor is at every possible disadvantage in the NIL era.
He's begging his boosters for $4-5 million per year, which tells you that they have no money whatsoever to spend on their roster.
And he's still never had a losing season as a college head football coach.
Traylor would be a massive upgrade over what we currently have. He had that program rolling before NIL and infinite player movement threw a giant wrench in what he was building. Give him the resources Aranda has squandered at Baylor, and he'd win at a much higher level than what Dave has.

If he did come to Baylor and basically lifted and shifted his entire starting squad to Baylor how would his guys do in the big 12? Or would it be a complete rebuild?
