Dave Aranda Can Snap a Long Losing Streak For 1st Year Coaches at Baylor

Traditionally, 1st year head coaches have not fared well at Baylor, at least not in the win column. Entering the 2020 season, coach Dave Aranda has the ability to snap a long streak in the Baylor program. And all he has to do is lead the Bears to bowl eligibility.

In fact, it’s been over 60 years since a 1st year Baylor coach (not counting interim) has led the Bears to a bowl game in their debut season. Fans have to go all the way back to Sam Boyd’s 1956 squad that won the Sugar Bowl ti witness the feat.
