Dave Aranda of the Baylor Bears football team is the best young coach in America, and you don't even have to take Drake's word for it. Josh Pate of CBS Sports and 247 joins the show to talk about how he sees Aranda as the top dog in the sport under 45 years old. From his defensive philosophy to hiring Jeff Grimes to implement the wide zone, he has shown that winning the Big 12 championship and Sugar Bowl is sustainable.
Josh stays around to talk about the decision from Aranda to name Blake Shapen the starting quarterback over Gerry Bohanon, who subsequently transferred to USF. Josh says that this move solidifies Aranda as a counter-culture coach in the nation, and it shows how he values players over the program. Josh also helps calm Drake's fear that the Baylor football team will never win a national championship.
