Jerome Tang was with the Bears from 2003 to 2022 before taking the head coaching position at Kansas State.
Tang was the assistant coach for the Bears during their 2021 national title season.
Kansas State fired Jerome Tang earlier in February due to "public disrepute, embarrassment, ridicule" to Kansas State according to ESPN's report.
The Bears now see a longtime coach return to the program as Baylor looks to bounce back from missing the NCAA tournament this past season.
