In today’s Fact or Fiction — Recruiting Edition — I look at three big recent topics from the recruiting trail and decide whether the statement is indeed FACT or if it’s FICTION.

BIG news day for Baylor Athletics as Mack Rhoades is named to the College Football Playoff Committee and Dave Aranda hires... *checks notes* ... *checks again* GARY PATTERSON?!
The college football coaching carousel has seemingly come to an end with the exception of the Boston College job. On Thursday, however, the Baylor football program made a surprising hire, naming former TCU head coach Gary Patterson as a senior consultant, per Colt Barber of Sic Em 365.
The rumors appear to be true; SicEm365 is reporting that Dave Aranda is bringing Gary Patterson onto his staff in an off-field role. The unthinkable appears to be happening—Baylor is reportedly bringing in former TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson to join its football staff in a consulting/analyst/off-field role.
The Tigers are losing their defensive coordinator to Florida. Ron Roberts, who spent one season on the Plains, has been hired by the Gators as executive head coach for defense, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.
In USC's search for a defensive coordinator, a name that's been atop lists since the 2021 head coaching search is current Baylor HC Dave Aranda. A defensive-minded coach, Aranda put together a 12-2 season for the Bears in 2021, leading them to a win in the Sugar Bowl.
Here’s what it’s going to take for me to believe this was the right—or even a defensible—move. A little less than 20 hours ago, Baylor leaked the news
Despite a pair of disappointing seasons, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda is expected to return next season, ESPN reported Sunday. Baylor was just 3-9 this season while relying on a number of underclassmen.

Week 1 was a light taste of college football action. We got a nice upset by Florida but for the most part things kind of played to form. Week 2 is not blessed with a lot of top games, but there are good values out there. YB's Matt Wiesenfeld shows you the way.
College football expansion and realignment was the story of the offseason once again, and now it appears one conference may not be done yet. Baylor coach Dave Aranda got some attention with a recent comment that the Big 12 is currently having more conversations about future expansion.
The 2022 college football season is near, and while it's fun to highlight some of the best teams and players to watch, it's also important to note the top coaches in the country. Here are the 25 best FBS coaches for the 2022 season.
It's time for the good stuff.
Unlike most years, we weren't treated to any head-scratching hires. Of course, some of the new head coaches will fail and become fired themselves in a few years, but none of them seemed destined to do so.
