Now that the dust has begun to settle on the Baylor football head coach change, and the search is over it is now time for fans to weigh in on Dave Aranda. The initial reactions seem to be a bit of mixed bag. Some fans were enamored by his recent success, while others have genuine concerns about what the hire means for the current momentum of the program.
I think Baylor did as well as you could expect in the situation. All fans want a “splash” or a “home run” hire, but are those very common? Thinking on it, I could count on one hand how many of those hires have been made in college football in the last decade.
