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.

LeBron James has informed the Cleveland Cavaliers he will re-sign with the reigning NBA champions this summer but still has no timetable for negotiating or signing a deal, sources told ESPN.James is one of several members of the Cavs from last seasons championship team who remain unsigned, including J.R. Smith and head coach Tyronn Lue.James is currently traveling and spending time with family. He will meet with agent Rich Paul and go over his contract options at some point but there is no rush, sources said.Under league rules, James has several contract choices. He can sign for up to $27.6 million next season on a one-year deal -- as he has done the past two summers -- or sign a multiyear deal that could make him the leagues highest-paid player at $30.9 million for next season.James has vacationed in Spain and Hawaii in addition to spending time at his new home in Los Angeles over the past month. His timetable for signing is not related to Smith, who is also represented by Paul.As with last year, when Paul represented both James and then-free agent Tristan Thompson, the free agencies are being conducted separately, sources said.Smith and the Cavs have been in negotiations but remain apart on terms.dddddddddddd Last week, Cavs general manager David Griffin told ESPN he was very confident the team would work out a deal to re-sign Smith.The situation with Lue is a little more complex. He remains under contract from a four-year, $6.5 million deal he signed in 2014 that then made him the highest-paid assistant coach in league history.When he was promoted to head coach in January, Lue verbally agreed to a three-year deal but never signed the pact. The sides have been talking about a new deal since June but have yet to come to terms, sources said.The Cavs have also had talks with veteran free agent James Jones, who remains unsigned. Jones wants to return to the Cavs but has options elsewhere, agent Joel Bell said.The Cavs have reached an agreement with Richard Jefferson on a two-year, $5 million deal, but the sides have yet to formalize the contract. The same goes for free-agent center Chris Andersen, who has a verbal agreement to join the team in place but also has not signed. ' ' '
