During a recent press conference, the Baylor head coach shared his thoughts, emotions, and a laugh while discussing how it feels to have the two former players on his coaching staff. “The irony is you now have a lot bigger generations covered. Melvin’s going...

Recently, the Bears head coach spoke on how stressful this year’s window was, given all the coaching moves the Bears had to endure. “Yeah, 100%,” said Drew when asked if transfer season is stressful during a recent press conference. “And that’s where really it’s all hands on deck.

Scott Drew and Baylor are all that the other has known for the past two decades. That made it easier for him to decide to return to Waco for his 22nd season this upcoming year. Drew addressed the fact that he was under consideration for other jobs elsewhere this offseason during a recent press conference last week. He began by making it clear that he did not think about any of those potential opportunities until after this past season came to an end for the Bears with a 24-11 record after the Round of 32. “Good question,” said Drew. “During the season, I’m really focused and locked in with our...

We ...
