Baylor Bears athletics faces a self-inflicted crisis as AD Mack Rhoades steps away for 28 days amid investigation. The timing couldn't be worse for a football program with a coach on the hot seat.

Cam Stuart breaks down why this four-week timeline creates a catastrophic situation for Baylor's coaching future, as schools like Penn State, Florida, and Auburn will hire their coaches while the Bears remain in limbo. The discussion covers quarterback Sawyer Robertson's passionate defense of Dave Aranda on RG3's podcast, the unfair pressure placed on Robertson to be perfect every game, and the controversial "tarps off" fan tradition that energized McLane Stadium but received a dismissive response from Coach Aranda.

Key topics include the coaching carousel catch-22, why Baylor might end up keeping Aranda by default rather than choice, and how the university's response to its best fan development in years reveals deeper problems with the program's direction.

Will Baylor's administrative chaos cost them their chance at the right coaching hire?
