Newy Scruggs, sports anchor at NBC5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and radio host weekly from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on NBC Sports Radio Sirius XM 213/202 and NBCSportsRadio.com, answered questions in a chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Question: If Chad Morris indeed becomes Baylor's next coach, what would your thoughts be on the hire?

Newy Scruggs: I love Chad Morris. He is a good man and the kind of person who could bring some character to the job. He's replaced Art Briles before. He did it at Stephenville at the high school level. Morris would be smart to bring Van Malone as his defensive coordinator. Baylor never got that defense right. Malone can help. Morris will get the offense right but Baylor needs to find a defense.

Question: If Chad Morris leaves SMU, what do you see happening to that program? How badly would losing him kill progress?

Newy Scruggs: It would hurt to lose Morris because SMU is going to have to start over if he leaves. Maybe the progress won't be stopped if they can show the next coach where Morris improved the program. SMU would need to hire a head coach who will keep the offensive and defensive philosophies. That can help keep some of the momentum. I talked to Coach Morris today and he denied the Baylor rumor.

Question: If you were becoming the next coach at Baylor, what would be your first action on Day 1?

Newy Scruggs: The next coach at Baylor should tell the administration he needs to know EVERY SINGLE DETAIL in that Pepper Hamilton report. A coach needs to know exactly what went down and what he is dealing with.

Question: When all the dust settles, who do you think will be head coaching at Texas, Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech and A&M next season?

Newy Scruggs: Great question: Give me Tom Herman at Texas. Baylor brings in Chad Morris according to NBC's Pat Doney. Houston hires Philip Montgomery from Tulsa. Texas Tech and Texas A&M will have the same head coach.

Question: With the reports from Baylor getting worse and worse by day, what makes that job attractive, especially with NCAA penalties a potential future issue? Is it the sheer fact it's a Power 5 school? Boatloads of money?

Newy Scruggs: Money is a powerful tool. Just saying...
