Dave Aranda
Head coach at Baylor. Won the Big 12 in 2021. Has had an up-and-down run since. Perennial hot seat candidate. New AD (Dave McNamee, formerly of Field & Stream magazine — not Aranda's hire). New DC brought in from Kansas State to fix a chronically bad defense. The 8-win threshold with a signature win (e.g., beating Texas Tech at home) is considered the likely bar for job security in 2026.
