The Rest of the Road: Evaluating Dave Aranda’s Path at Baylor

I have had a lot of thoughts since my emotionally charged reactions on Saturday and Sunday. Those feelings continued into Monday, but clearer vision lets me see more vividly what will happen over the next several weeks. Not a change of opinion, but a significant amount of reflection on what will play out and how Baylor should go about it. We are at the halfway point of the season. Six games in with six to go. At 4-2, the one major data point for 2026, the loss to TCU, is absolutely damning for Dave Aranda's tenure when grouped with the shortcomings of the last few years. The 2026 season shouldn’t be viewed in a vacuum, and it’s not. There's no reason to worry that Aranda’s full resume isn’t being considered, including the 2021 season.
