The Heisman winner and former Baylor quarterback has no college coaching experience but has reportedly been working with a former head coach to prepare.
Robert Griffin III is expected to interview for Baylor's vacant head coaching job, according to a report from On3's Pete Nakos. The former Bears quarterback, who led Baylor to 10 wins in 2011 and won the Heisman Trophy before going No. 2 overall to Washington in the 2012 NFL Draft, has no prior coaching experience at any level.
That hasn't stopped him from preparing seriously for the opportunity. Griffin has reportedly been working with a former college football head coach to get ready for the interview. He currently works as a television analyst for Fox Sports and has been vocal about wanting various jobs, including a return to the NFL, the commissioner role for college football, and a spot on the US flag football team for the 2028 Olympics.
Baylor fired head coach Dave Aranda in October, leaving the position open. Griffin, a Texas native, has long been considered one of the program's most prominent alumni. Whether a lack of coaching experience factors into the school's decision remains to be seen, but sources indicate the interview is set to happen.
