Morris Reportedly Out of Running

Monday, Nov. 28

Haney reported that "Baylor and [SMU head coach Chad] Morris are moving on."

Haney's sources said negotiations "hit a snag" over Morris' desire for "another in-state job driving the price tag" and Baylor's waning interest after SMU's loss to Navy in which it allowed 75 points.

On Nov. 22, Pat Doney of NBC 5 reported Morris had agreed in principle to take the Baylor job. However, Feldman reported Doney's report was "not true" and that the job hasn't been offered to any candidate.

John Werner of the Waco Tribune-Herald later reported Morris hadn't even been contacted regarding the opening.

On Nov. 18, Haney reported Morris was among the candidates Baylor was considering.

Morris is just 7-17 in two seasons with the Mustangs, but they are 5-7 in 2016 and hold a victory over Houston. A source indicated to Haney that Baylor's higher-ups are comfortable with the idea of Morris' being the school's next head coach.

Baylor Slumped to End Season

The school installed Grobe as the Bears head coach after Art Briles was fired amid sexual assault allegations by Baylor students against some of his players.

Baylor started 6-0 under Grobe this season, but it lost five straight to end the season and struggled mightily on the defensive side.

Baylor has proved to be a contending team in recent years, as it won at least 10 games in four of five seasons from 2011 through 2015, but it has yet to get over the hump in terms of vying for a national championship.
