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.\n\nThat 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.\n\nBaylor 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.","published_at":"2026-11-13T19:20:13.711766+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Robert Griffin III is "expected to interview" for Baylor job","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/robert-griffin-iii-expected-interview-190521697.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Robert Griffin III is \"expected to interview\" for Baylor job","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/robert-griffin-iii-is-expected-to-interview-for-baylor-job"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Former Baylor star Robert Griffin III to interview for school’s coaching vacancy in shock","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/13/sports/robert-griffin-iii-to-interview-for-baylor-coaching-vacancy/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Sources: Baylor legend RG III expected to interview for open head coach job","url":"https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50472713/sources-robert-griffin-iii-expected-interview-baylor-job"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Robert Griffin III will reportedly interview for Baylor head coaching job","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/college-football/robert-griffin-iii-will-reportedly-interview-for-baylor-head-coaching-job.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Robert Griffin III set to interview for head coaching job at Baylor","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7779029/2026/11/13/robert-griffin-iii-baylor-head-coach-interview/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Robert Griffin III lands Baylor interview as Heisman winner chases head coach job","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/robert-griffin-iii-lands-baylor-150807025.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Robert Griffin III will reportedly interview for Baylor head coaching job","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/robert-griffin-iii-reportedly-interview-160001257.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9f88ac4/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F547%2F590%2Fnbc_pft_kirkherbstreit_261113.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
