Well said Dy156, The_Dude is looking through some burnt orange glasses. Grant Teaff was a good coach and a good person for the game. Unfortunately Baylor has not found a replacement that could equal his successes. When the SWC had it's problems, the only two schools that were not on some sort of probation were Baylor and Rice. Perhaps the reason they did not win more during this time period because they were playing by the rules. UT had it's issues after Fred Akers was fired. As an U of H alumn that could not watch a game on TV due to NCAA punishment for buying players used cars (we could not afford new ones like SMU), Baylor and Rice were the real beacons of the conference though their records may not always reflect that.
I believe that Morris will turn things around. He would have taken Kentucky to a bowl game if not for probation that forced out previous staff. If Morris can win at Kentucky in the SEC, I think he has a shot at Baylor. It will take time.
