Scott Drew’s Baylor Bears face growing criticism after another disappointing Big 12 season, but is the call for a coaching change premature—or entirely misplaced? Cam Stuart and Jackson Posey weigh in on Drew’s future, dissecting fan frustrations and the realities of building a perennial contender in Waco. With references to Baylor’s national championship, repeated second-round NCAA Tournament exits, and tough questions about whether Drew’s winning formula is sustainable, the debate pulls no punches.

Key topics include Baylor’s struggles with roster turnover in the NIL era, challenges in recruiting elite Texas talent, and the difficulty of replicating Scott Drew’s past success in the ever-evolving college basketball landscape. Jackson Posey offers insight on transfer additions like Isaac Williams and Michael Retaj, and the hosts break down what needs to change for the Bears to reclaim March Madness relevance. Can Baylor rewrite the narrative, or is a new direction inevitable?
