  "account": "Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has expressed interest in becoming the next head coach at Baylor University. He made the statement to Dan Patrick on Monday via ESPN. Griffin, who won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor in 2011, told the host that if the university wants to succeed and students and fans can be proud of the program, they need someone who knows how to win. His career in the NFL was marked by numerous achievements before a knee injury derailed it in Washington. Afterward, he played for the Browns and Ravens before ending his playing career in 2020. Baylor recently fired head coach Dave Aranda following a 40-40 record over six-plus seasons. Former NFL quarterbacks like Philip Rivers, who has coached high school football since 2021, are increasingly being considered for college coaching positions, even when they have no prior coaching experience.",
