## Summary

Former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is set to interview for the university’s head coaching vacancy, despite having no college coaching experience. The move would put the 36-year-old Fox Sports analyst in charge of the team where he won the Heisman Trophy, as Baylor seeks a new direction after dismissing Dave Aranda.

Griffin played for Baylor from 2008 to 2011 and led the team to a 10-win season in his final year, throwing for 4,293 yards and 37 touchdowns. Aranda was fired last month after a 4-3 start; Baylor has since won two games and secured bowl eligibility. Griffin has said he is fully interested in the role, joining a small group of former college stars, including Philip Rivers at North Carolina State, who have taken major coaching jobs without prior experience at that level.
