Baylor?officials are expected to focus their search for a new football coach on Californias Sonny Dykes, after SMUs Chad Morris elected to remain with the Mustangs on Tuesday, according to sources close to the search.Morris, who is 7-17 in two seasons at SMU, was considered a top candidate to replace former Baylor coach Art Briles, who was fired in May after an independent investigation by the law firm Pepper Hamilton criticized the universitys handling of sexual assault allegations involving students, including football players.The Dallas Morning News, citing unnamed sources, reported on Tuesday night that SMU officials have been working on a contract extension for Morris for the past three months to increase his compensation package relative to the current market. The newspaper reported that Morris new deal, which will run through the 2022 season, is expected to include a raise for Morris and $1.5 million more for his assistants.Morris, 47, was Clemsons offensive coordinator from 2011 to 14, before he was hired as SMUs coach in December 2014. His original deal was a six-year contract worth about $2 million annually. The Mustangs went 5-7 this past season.Dykes, 47, has a 19-30 record in four seasons at California, including a 5-7 mark this past season. The Bears went 8-5 in 2015 and quarterback Jared Goff was the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams.Dykes had a 22-15 record in three seasons at Louisiana Tech from 2010 to 12. He is 41-45 as a head coach overall.A native of Big Spring, Texas, Dykes is the son of legendary Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes. He played baseball at Texas Tech and worked as a football assistant coach at Kentucky and Northeast Louisiana before joining the Red Raiders staff in 2000.Because of Dykes connections to Texas, he is also considered a potential candidate at Houston, which is seeking a replacement for former coach Tom Herman, who was named Texas new coach on Saturday.A disciple of former Kentucky coach Hal Mumme, Dykes runs a high-octane version of the Air Raid offense. This past season, the Bears ranked third in the FBS in passing (358.8 yards), 11th in total offense (513.2 yards) and 24th in scoring (37.1 points).But the Bears also ranked next to last in the FBS in scoring defense (42.6 points) and 125th in total defense (518.3 yards). Cal allowed 45 points or more in each of its seven losses.Baylor acting coach Jim Grobe announced on Monday that he advised athletic director Mack Rhoades earlier this year that he would step down after the 2016 season and didnt want to be considered for the job. Grobe has guided the Bears to a 6-5 record; theyve lost five consecutive games going into Saturdays regular-season finale at No. 16 West Virginia.Former San Francisco 49ers coach and ex-Baylor All-American linebacker Mike Singletary and Arkansas States Blake Anderson are also believed to be candidates for the job.

In a roundabout sort of way the All Blacks probably took some motivation out of the whole bugging scandal last week.Michael Cheika has denied Australian involvement in the scandal, and NSW Police have confirmed that gambling links will form part of their continued investigations,, but the All Blacks performance against Australia in the Rugby Championship-opening Bledisloe Cup Test in Sydney basically said: Youre welcome to listen, but try to stop us.I believe the device was put there for information on the All Blacks. Ive had suspicions in the past. This sort of thing has been going on for a number of years.Ive played in games where all of a sudden the opposition knew your lineout calls or whatever; but apart from a few things you can only ever get a very small percentage. Youre never going to get an edge if you dont have the cattle; nothing is going to help you.When you were playing with Jonah Lomu you would get plenty of spying going on, but at the end of the day the opposition still had to tackle him and spying couldnt help them do that.Its been around for a long time. Weve had guys hiding in the trees or spying on you, or trying to get information out of you. Then remember last year at Eden Park when someone was filming Michael Cheikas clipboard and they got some inside oil; but you are only ever going to get a very tiny piece of information.In all honesty, Im really pleasantly surprised at the way the All Blacks fronted up. Ill put my hand up and say that I thought they would win, but I never thought they would just turn up and deliver the complete performance. From one to 15 they were on their game last Saturday.You quite often see mistake in Test matches, errors caused by one person not quite being on top of their game. But I reckon the whole squad were in for a big game, and when you get them all wanting to play the best game they possibly can you get what I believe was one of the best All Blacks performances I have seen in a long time.That was right through from Kieran Read leading the team to Dane Coles coming off the bench; what a cameo performance the hooker put on. Rib injuries are horrible; they are something you cannot hide. They are there every time you move, and you feel it; not only in the game but also during the build-up when you cant lie properly in bed and you have to be careful how you move about.I was surprised he got put on the bench; if you are not good enough to start then why should you be on the bench? And as Steve Hansen said, he might have to come on after only a couple of minutes in the game. I thought he was going to be tested when he came on, but he gutsed it out and it was probably the longest Test hes ever played. When you think about it, hookers usually come off with about 60 minutes gone. To get 78 minutes, or however long it was, was tremendous.If he had gone down, which was on the cards, they would have had to go to uncontested scrums.ddddddddddddWhere do the Australians turn to now? And how do the All Blacks improve on that?It is a great position for the All Blacks to be in, and a deliberate knockout punch this weekend will be the icing on the cake for New Zealand fans. But backing up a good performance like that is tough.Its like a boxing match where youve got someone on the ropes and youve just got to keep going; you cant back down. The Australians have taken a beating and theyve only got two places to go: they either step up and perform, or they remain on the canvas.From what we saw on Saturday night, Im not sure whether they have the game plan or the answers. And then you had the Wallabies team named in positions only for the No.8 David Pocock to appear on the side of the scrum with Ben McCalman at No.8? It doesnt make any difference, and those sorts of games, or psychological ploys, wear thin after a while.If it was intended to undo the preparation you need to remember these guys all know each other well. They play each other in Super Rugby and they know who they are up against. It doesnt matter whether Pocock has No. 6, No. 7 or No. 8 on his back; he could have worn No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 ?and it wouldnt matter.The way the All Blacks shifted the ball and shifted the point of contact through their handling skills, they were just unbelievable. It was incredible stuff, and I couldnt believe I was watching it. The opposition can only do so much, and it is hard to come up with something against nigh-on brilliance.But the Wallabies arent the only ones with a challenge on their hands; the All Blacks face one, too. New Zealand now have to go out and back it up; they must look at how they play and consider what changes to make, and what forced changes they have to look at. Its an exciting time.Weve talked about Beauden Barrett a fair bit in this column, and rightfully so after winning a Super Rugby title, but he just adds so much. Its contagious when your conductor, and thats how he wants to play, results in old fellows like Jerome Kaino charging down kicks, regathering and scoring.Barrett just seems to revel in that All Blacks environment; he backs up his performance week in and week out. Steve Hansen has said in the past that he selects players or drops them on how they play for the All Blacks and not on how they play anywhere else, and hes so right.Players can go back to their franchises, and for whatever reason things dont go their way or they dont perform; but if theyve always performed in an All Blacks jersey then that level of trust ensures they wont let that jersey down. And they havent. And I think a lot of credit has to be given to the management team in the All Blacks. Theyve got the mixture, the culture and the environment right. ' ' '
