Yikes... Sure seems like Aranda will get fired soon
Baylor parts ways with offensive assistant due to "personal matter"
By Doug Samuels Oct 27, 2025
Dave Aranda and Baylor are sitting at 4-4 with a big matchup against Scott Frost and UCF looming this weekend as they continue to battle to become bowl eligible.
They will enter that game against the Knights down a key offensive coach.
Aranda confirmed today at his presser that offensive line coach Mason Miller is no longer with the program.
Miller spent the past two seasons with the program, and his absence is due to what Aranda referred to as simply a "personal matter."
"It's a personal matter with Mason. My heart, my thoughts and my best wishes for his future go out to him and his family," Aranda shared today.
No further details have been provided on the move.
A longtime offensive line coach in the Air Raid offense with stops working under Mike Leach at both Mississippi State and Washington State, Miller arrived in Waco after a season serving as the offensive coordinator at FCS level Tarleton State in 2023. That season marked his second calling plays for the program, previously serving in the same capacity from 2014-16.
Prior to linking up with Leach, Miller worked in the offensive system under Hal Mumme at multiple stops including Valdosta State, Southeastern Louisiana, New Mexico State and McMurray.
Baylor has not yet shared who will be stepping into the role vacated by Miller.
Despite returning four of five starters up front, the Baylor offensive line has struggled on the ground so far this season, ranking 89th nationally at right around 140 yards per game.
To reach bowl eligibility, the Bears need a pair of wins against a tough upcoming schedule that includes home games against UCF and Utah before hitting the road to take on Arizona. Their season finale is against Houston at McLane Stadium.
