Baylor is expected to interview former quarterback Robert Griffin III for its head coaching vacancy, On3 and other outlets reported Friday. The job has been open since Baylor dismissed Dave Aranda on Oct. 25.

Griffin told The Dan Patrick Show after Aranda’s dismissal that he had spoken with Baylor athletic director Doug McNamee and wanted to be considered. Griffin has worked in broadcasting since his NFL career and has no college or professional coaching experience.

Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman is serving as interim coach. Baylor is 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12.
