Baylor football is reportedly turning its program over to LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. Aranda will replace Matt Rhule, who left Baylor for the NFL after three seasons.
Aranda was selected over a host of other candidates. Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente and Louisiana coach Billy Napier were both candidates who withdrew their names today. Associate head coach Joey McGuire also got a tremendous amount of consideration, but athletic director Mack Rhoades opted to go with an external hire.
