Baylor University has fired head football coach Dave Aranda following a 25-24 loss to Kansas. The decision comes midway through Aranda’s seventh season, leaving the team with a 4-3 overall record and a 2-2 record in Big 12 conference play.

Aranda finishes his tenure in Waco with a 40-40 record. His coaching career at Baylor included a standout 12-2 season in 2021 that resulted in a Sugar Bowl victory, though the program subsequently experienced several losing seasons.

Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman has been named the interim head coach. The university will begin a search for a permanent replacement as the team prepares for its upcoming matchup against UCF.
