Guy Morriss won't be back as Baylor's football coach next season after failing to produce a winning season in five years, two persons close to the athletic program told the Chronicle on Thursday.

Morriss, 56, who has one year left on his contract, will remain with the Bears for the final two games of the season against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

Baylor is 3-7 this season, guaranteeing a 12th consecutive losing season, and has not been bowl-eligible since 1994 when it played in the Alamo Bowl.

The search for a replacement is expected to begin with San Francisco 49ers assistant head coach/defense Mike Singletary. The Baylor linebacking legend, who has been an NFL assistant coach the last five years, interviewed for the position before Morriss was hired in 2002.

Morriss' departure marks the fourth coaching change for the Bears since Grant Teaff retired after 21 seasons in 1992.
