Baylor legend Robert Griffin III tossed his hat into the ring for the head coaching vacancy at his alma mater after the Bears fired Dave Aranda on Sunday.
“Yes,” Griffin said on the “The Dan Patrick Show” when asked if he’s interested in the job. “100%. If Baylor wants to get back to winning and have a university that isn’t just respectable on the football field, but (one) the fans can be proud of, they need people who know what it looks like to win at Baylor.”
Griffin, who won a Heisman Trophy trophy while playing at Baylor, suggested a few other candidates for the school to consider.
“I would also advocate for Spencer Danielson, the head coach of Boise State,” Griffin said. “I think he is a top-notch guy, top-notch coach and knows how to win. I also think Jeff Traylor at UTSA is a great option. A dark horse would be Lincoln Riley from USC. I know he’s got his experiences at Oklahoma and obviously what’s going at USC right now, but when you talk about people who know how to recruit and know how to score points in a big way, which is what Baylor fans are used to when we’re winning.”
