Baylor is expected to interview former quarterback Robert Griffin III for its head coaching position, On3's Pete Nakos reports.

The Bears fired head coach Dave Aranda in late October after seven years. Joe Klanderman, who was the defensive coordinator under Aranda, is currently the interim head coach.

Griffin said he was interested in the job just one day after Aranda was fired.

"If Baylor wants to get back to winning and have a university that isn't just respectable on the football field, but (one) the fans can be proud of, they need people who know what it looks like to win at Baylor," Griffin said on "The Dan Patrick Show."

The 36-year-old played quarterback at Baylor from 2008-11. He had an incredible final season with the Bears, posting 5,007 total yards and 48 touchdowns, before Washington selected him No. 2 overall in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Griffin leads Baylor's all-time passing yards list and is the only player in program history to ever win the Heisman Trophy. He currently works as a college football analyst for Fox Sports and has no collegiate or professional football coaching experience.
