Robert Griffin III is "expected to interview" for Baylor job

Published November 13, 2026 02:05 PM Former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is interested in coaching his former college team. And his former college team is sufficiently interested in Griffin to talk to him about it.Via Pete Nakos of On3.com, Griffin is “expected to interview” for the vacant position.Griffin, who won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor in 2011 before becoming the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, has no coaching experience, but that hasn’t been an impediment for former NFL players in recent years. Most recently, NC State hired former Wolfpack and NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, even though he has no college coaching experience. (Rivers spent the last six seasons as a high-school coach in Alabama.)Other former players who have become college head coaches include Deion Sanders, Eddie George, and Mike Vick.Getting an interview and getting the job are obviously two very different things. Still, Griffin has a foot in the door. Without that, it’s impossible to get an invitation to the table.
