This plane landed in Temple, Texas tonight around 7:30. It was coming from Lexington, Kentucky.
While Scott Drew did not exit the plane, members of his family did. More details coming up on

at 10.
Here’s everything Dave Aranda said about Mike Leach tonight.
Aranda was Leach’s driver for recruiting trips as a GA. He paints a bit of a picture, but you can really only imagine what those road trip conversations were like.
Coach Dave Aranda: “When I called Coach O and told him that I was taking the Baylor job, he was so happy for me. I told him I learned more from him than any head coach I had ever been around.”

Here's a Baylor fan who traveled to Kansas City who will now have to watch the game being played in an empty arena from a restaurant across the street.
What will that be like? "I guess the closest thing would be like watching a TCU home game."
This was special. Before speaking with the media after today's win,

Coach Kim Mulkey walked over to Dave Campbell to give him a hug and ask how we was doing. Campbell lost his wife of 70 years earlier this week.

I asked
@CoachMcGuire_BU
what his message to the team was after he knew he would be staying at

.
“What I wanted to make sure they understood was that this family is gonna stick together.”

head football coach Dave Aranda read the Berenstain Bears Old Hat, New Hat at a local elementary school today. You just have to see how he interacted with the kids.

Coach Aranda has continued to talk about Gerry Bohonon's work ethic. He's mentioned running into Gerry at the coffee machine at 6 am. Here's what Gerry had to say about that, and where he gets his work ethic from.

Adam Flagler reflecting on this season.
"I did everything I could in the sense of continuing on the culture of excellence and how we push ourselves and putting God first with this platform. It's devastating to lose a game but I'm thankful for them all."

HC Dave Aranda says he’s talked with the team twice about coaching rumors. “They know me well enough.. the quirkiness and everything I’ve got is a great fit for here.”
Scott Drew on Grand Canyon player Oscar Frayer who died in a car crash earlier this week. "It puts it all into perspective. I cried for two days and I never coached him." Says Oscar accepted Christ 11 days earlier.
From visiting with guys in the locker room I can tell you…
1. They really cared.
2. They are an extremely classy group. So mature and respectful, even after a devastating loss - when let’s face it, they didn’t want a camera in their face.
Baylor fans should be proud.…
This just about broke my heart.
Thank you to former Cameron Yoe HFC Rick Rhoades for speaking with me about Traion Smith. We'll have more from this conversation and others as we remember Traion and his cousin Desmond Williams tonight on

"One of my goals is to leave a legacy at

Sources: A team meeting was held tonight at
#Baylor
. Coach Dave Aranda was introduced to the team. Interim Coach Joey McGuire was the only additional coach in attendance. Aranda will meet with additional Baylor coaches tomorrow.
Aranda: “When I was at LSU, I had wanted to come to visit Baylor. I loved what they were doing on defense. I found myself watching videos of Rhule speaking to the team. He is a great person. I’m excited to take the next step and further the progress he has made.”

Finally have a second to breathe. Scott Drew staying in Waco is a massive win for Baylor, and one I’ll admit I am glad to see.
I think it was the right move for him and his family. I’ve enjoyed covering him and his program, and can’t wait to see what more they can accomplish by…
Nicki Collen getting pretty emotional: “It hurts. We wanted to be out there celebrating. Everyone knows this was a tough job to take. This season has been tough… I just love this team so much”

Adam Flagler on his hopes for what the Ferrell Center will be like tomorrow.
"I hope they are able to come out and support the girls as well. Two big games, it's gonna be exciting "

Blake Shapen: “We gotta stay together. We gotta use this as fuel for the next game. We’re gonna keep letting everybody doubt us… we’ll use it as fuel.”

Terrel Bernard didn’t play in Stillwater. He’ll play Saturday.
Aranda: “Terrel is one of those guys.. when he’s in the huddle there’s an added confidence. You just feel like he’s a coach on the field. He makes us better. They are a different team than that night - so are we.”
Mack Rhoades: “Just grateful that Scott is going to remain a Baylor Bear”
He said Scott Drew called him this morning around “9 something” and told him he’d be staying in Waco.
A memorial football game is scheduled for Saturday at 10am at Yoe Field to honor Traion Smith and Desmond Williams.
Tickets will be $5 and sold at the gate. All proceeds will help their families with funeral expenses.

Dillon Doyle: “I’m super excited for the young guys. I hope I’ve started something that I’m gonna be proud of down the road. I’m so thankful for the whole team. The relationships…Baylor means the world to me.”
Mack Rhoades: I’m blessed and grateful to have a wonderful relationship with Scott. We have a transparent relationship. We had great conversations through all of this… some really difficult. But we both know we love each other. Really grateful for his friendship.
We are…
Today is my last day at NewsWest 9. It’s been an honor and a privilege to tell your stories, West Texas. I can’t say enough thank-you’s ❤️
