Guy Morriss Biography
Guy Morriss is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on May 13, 1951 in Colorado City, Texas, United States. Guy Morriss was the losing coach at the 2002 “Bluegrass Miracle” match at Commonwealth Stadium. Morriss’s Kentucky Wildcats scored a field goal to lead LSU by 11 seconds, but lost on a Hail Mary touchdown as the clock expired. Jared Lorenzen, the quarterback, gave Morriss a Gatorade bath in a pre-Hail Mary.
In 2006, the fourth year of the Morriss era, BU had a roller coaster season. After a disappointing 1–3 non-conference mark (including a loss at home to Army), BU rebounded with a 3–1 start in conference play. However, the momentum was stunted when quarterback Shawn Bell was injured in a loss to Texas A&M, and Baylor was subsequently blown out in their final three games by an average margin of 34 points, finishing the year at 4–8 (3–5 in the Big 12).
On November 18, 2007, Baylor fired Morriss. On November 28, 2007, former University of Houston head coach Art Briles replaced Morriss.
In 2001, Morriss was appointed interim head coach at Kentucky after a scandal involving recruiting forced Mumme to resign. After a disappointing 2-9 season, Kentucky appointed Morriss as the permanent head coach. He led the Wildcats’ 7-5 turnaround in 2002.
Morriss assumed control of a Baylor football program that was in serious trouble. The Bears had not had a winning season in 1995 and had only won one conference contest in the 36 Big 12 contests before Morriss took over. The 2003 season of Morriss (3-9) was a rough one, but it was highlighted by an upset victory over Colorado (CU was a 20 point favorite). Morriss’s second season in 2004, which saw three wins and one conference victory, was not as successful. However, Morriss won fan and alumni support by winning the 35-34 overtime win over Texas A&M (a 25 point favorite). In this game, Morriss decided to “go for two” and win the first overtime. Instead of taking the extra point and forcing another overtime. This was BU’s first victory over the Aggies in 35 years (they tied in 1990). The third season of Morriss in 2005 saw a record of 5-6 (BU’s best record since 1995). It also featured BU’s first ever road victory over a Big 12 Conference opponent with a 23-13 win over Iowa State in Ames.
Morriss resides in Lexington, Kentucky and is married to Jackie Morriss. They are the parents of five daughters: Melanie, Colleen, Kerry, Savannah and Austin. The couple also has five grandchildren. Despite now living in Kentucky again, he is known to be proud of his Texas heritage. His first comment to the press when accepting the Baylor job was yelling “It’s good to be back in the Lone Star.” Baylor even put that phrase on their pocket schedules for 2003. Also, Morriss told FOX Sports that when his future wife asked him what nationality he was, he replied “I’m a Texan.” In 2012, Morriss graduated from the Texas A&M-Commerce graduate school with a master’s degree and received his diploma with a rousing ovation. In 2017 he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
