Baylor assistant coach Shawn Bell, one of multiple assistant coaches still in Waco following Matt Rhule’s departure for the Carolina Panthers, will remain on staff under new head coach Dave Aranda, SicEm365 has learned. 

Baylor athletics has not returned request for confirmation at this time.

Bell, a quarterback at Baylor from 2003-2006, spent his first season at Baylor as an offensive analyst in 2017 before being promoted to coach the offensive line in 2018. Bell remained on the offensive line for the 2019 season. 

SicEm365 has no confirmation on which position Bell will be assigned to coach moving forward. 

Bell spent the 2016 season at Cedar Ridge High School, in Round Rock, Texas, where he was named District 13-6A Coach of the Year after leading the Raiders to an 11-1 mark and the school's first-ever district championship.

From 2010 to 2015, Bell was head coach at Magnolia West High School in Magnolia, Texas. He led the Mustangs to the postseason every year and compiled a six-year record of 44-27.

If Nixon does stay, we might find out how Rhule actually hurt our O.

I think Coach Aranda offered McGuire. That's all Coach can do. It's up to Mc now.

Have to believe that Joey is staying too. He and Bell are critical for keeping the current players from heading to the portal, not to forget their recruiting strengths. Both are still developing their coaching skills and doing so at P5 school has to be huge for both. So they are lucky to be at Baylor and we are fortunate to have them as well.

Joey McGuire would have no trouble getting another Power 5 job if he left. He is universally recognized as an asset and would be a highly sought after assistant. I hope he stays for Baylor's sake, but he doesn't need Baylor. If he chooses us, it's because he wants to be here.

I don't think many serious players will be entering the portal either way.

Kind of feel like we should hire an OC before retaining offensive assistants. We only get 9 coaching spots total right? That limits how many guys you can hire because you like them. May as well see who's the best fit before committing.

Are we calling BU a P5 team now? Didn't we see we aren't P5 after the GA game?

Great news for Coach Bell and congrats!

In the thread above my comment it was mentioned coaches wouldn't have trouble finding a job at a P5 school.. that would indicate BU is a P5 as well..

BU nor the Big 12 is P5.. I'm interpreting P5 to mean Power 5 Conference...

It does seem that an OC would have some input as to who he has working under him.

I'm thinking Legend is a closet Aggie. For his sake, I hope the light bulb never burns out while he's in there alone.

I agreed, by definition the Big 12 is a P5.. what's trolling about that?

BU has rebuilt into a solid program, but we aren't a P5 competing program, yet.. My gosh people.. didn't we all watch the GA game..
