He was a good coach and one of the few who had a winning season.

He was an offensive line coach at the University of Kentucky from 1997-2000 under Hal Mumme and then head coach for two years at UK before taking the head job at Baylor.

However, Guy Morriss said he always wanted to get back to Kentucky and has always considered Lexington “home” for him and his wife, Jackie. Now he’ll soon be living full-time in Lexington again after accepting a job as special assistant football coach at Lexington Christian High School.

“It is going to be fantastic to be back in Lexington. I can’t wait to get moved. I have been trying to get back for several years. We just kind of made a leap of faith to see if we could find a home. We have always loved Kentucky and wanted back to it,” said Morriss, 64, during a break from his work Friday at the C.H.A.M.P. Camp in Lexington conducted by former UK player Champ Kelly.

“This feels like home. We bought a house in our old neighborhood. Lot of our friends are still there that were there 20 years ago. It just feels like home.”
