Former Heisman Trophy winner and current television analyst Robert Griffin III will reportedly interview for the head coaching position at his alma mater, Baylor University.

Former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is interested in coaching his former college team. The Bears might be looking to hire one of their own. Robert Griffin III is never shy about putting his name out there for any opportunity, and now it looks like his public persistence may finally pay off.

Griffin, a Texas native, led Baylor to 10 wins in 2011 and was the No. 2 pick by Washington in the 2012 NFL Draft. Robert Griffin III doesn’t have any coaching experience at the college level, but that reportedly won’t stop him from interviewing with his former team for its vacancy.
