Baylor's coaching search is focusing on Houston head coach Tom Herman and his SMU counterpart Chad Morris, 247sports.com's Travis Haney reported on Friday.
Baylor is searching for a full-time replacement to the fired Art Briles while Jim Grobe serves as the interim coach this season.
Herman was hired to be Houston's head coach by Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades before he made his way to Waco. As Haney notes, Herman is also considered a candidate for the LSU job and at Texas and Oregon if those jobs open up. Haney said that school officials have not given up hope of luring Herman and want to get a chance to talk with him.
