The Baylor Bears football program is a college football team that represents Baylor University in the Big 12 Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The team has had 25 head coaches since it started playing organized football in 1899. Baylor was a charter member of the Southwest Conference (SWC), joining in 1915. They later became a charter member of the Big 12 in 1996 when the SWC disbanded. After playing without a nickname for 15 years, the school chose Bears as the team nickname in 1914. There were three seasons where Baylor did not field a team. In 1906, the university banned football due to the violent nature of the sport. However, student protests persuaded school officials to reinstate it the next year. In 1943 and 1944, the school canceled the football program due to World War II. The Bears have played in 1,099 games during their 108 seasons. In those seasons, ten coaches have led Baylor to postseason bowl games: Bob Woodruff, George Sauer, Sam Boyd, John D. Bridgers, Grant Teaff, Chuck Reedy, Art Briles, Jim Grobe, Matt Rhule, and Dave Aranda. Six coaches have won conference championships with the Bears: Charles P. Mosley, Frank Bridges, Teaff, Reedy, Briles, and Aranda.
