Two head coaching candidates have emerged as the front runners for the Baylor head football coaching position for the 2017-18 football season. Those two candidates are University of Houston Cougars head coach Tom Herman and Southern Methodist University head coach Chad Morris.
Herman during his career at Houston is 22-3, with three major wins against Florida State, Oklahoma, and even this past week against Louisville by a final of 36-10. All three of these teams were ranked in the top 10 when they played one another.
Morris is currently 7-15 as a head coach for the SMU Mustangs, having gone 2-10 last season and 5-5 so far this year with one of their key wins against the at the time number 11 ranked Houston Cougars by a final of 38-16.
