Former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III says he would be '100 per cent' interested in the head coaching position.

Robert Griffin III has expressed keen interest in becoming Baylor's next head football coach. The former quarterback, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2011, told the Dan Patrick Show he would be '100 per cent' interested in the position and revealed he has already spoken with Baylor's athletic director Doug McNamee.

Griffin was a catalyst for Baylor's success during his playing days. In his Heisman-winning 2011 season, the Bears went 10-3 and won the Alamo Bowl, throwing for 4,293 yards and 37 touchdowns with only six interceptions. He also ran for 699 yards and ten touchdowns. Baylor went 25-21 during his four years overall at the university, and Griffin remains the only Heisman winner in school history.

Baylor fired head coach Dave Aranda on Sunday after he went 40-40 over six-and-a-half seasons. Joe Klanderman was named interim coach for the remainder of the season. Griffin, now 36 years old, currently works as a college football analyst for Fox Sports while hosting his 'Outta Pocket' podcast. However, Griffin has never coached at any level, let alone as a Division I head coach.
