Biography

A 2020 National Champion, 2021 Big 12 Conference Champion, 28-year coaching veteran and architect of the winningest season in school history, Dave Aranda was named the 28th head coach in Baylor Football history on Jan. 16, 2020. Aranda (uh-RAN-duh) came to Waco after four seasons as associate head coach and defensive coordinator at LSU, including a 2020 National Championship and a 2019 SEC Championship. Widely considered one of the top defensive minds in football, Aranda has a track record of producing NFL-ready players. The Bears completed the sixth year under Aranda in 2025, highlighted by one of the nation's best offensive attacks under the leadership of star QB Sawyer Robertson, and standout skill-position offensive talents in TE Michael Trigg and WR Josh Cameron. The Bears finished 5-7, narrowly missing out on a fourth bowl bid under Aranda.
