Baylor is expected to interview former Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III for the Bears’ open head coaching job, according to multiple reports. ESPN says sources confirm the expected interview, while Newsweek likewise reports he is expected to be part of Baylor’s search. Yahoo Sports frames the development around whether Griffin has a “real path” to the job, noting recent timing and preparation for the process.
The reports also place the situation in context of Baylor’s coaching change. Yahoo Sports says the school fired Dave Aranda and that Griffin went on air expressing interest in the role less than three weeks before the reporting, adding that he has been preparing for the interview. The New York Post highlights Griffin’s lack of college head-coaching experience, but says this is not expected to prevent him from interviewing with his former team.
Overall, outlets agree on the core point: Baylor’s next steps include an interview with Griffin as part of its coaching search, with differences focused on emphasis and background rather than the central claim.
