Jim Grobe came out of semi-retirement to help the Baylor Bears?football program
get through a tumultuous season.
Jourdan Lewis Jersey . After the season is
finished, he has no plans to coach again.Grobe said Monday that he told new
Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades early in the season that he didnt want to
be a candidate to be the full-time coach. That conversation came a month into
the season, when the Bears were still undefeated -- and before their current,
five-game losing streak.Honestly, football needs a fresh start, Grobe said in
his weekly news conference on the Waco campus. Im very, very proud of our
players who have remained loyal to Baylor. Theyve given me 100-plus reasons for
hope in these difficult times.Grobe, 64, had been out of coaching for two
seasons when he accepted the role as Baylors acting head coach last May. He said
he committed through January, which would include being part of the Bears bowl
game, and he expects to be retired and playing golf after that.Despite some
rocky times, Grobe said he has no regrets about taking over when Baylor suddenly
dismissed two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles after a report alleging that
the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault.Ive not ever had the
mindset that I was doing more than helping out, Grobe said earlier on the Big 12
coaches teleconference. Its been a little more challenging than I expected. ...
The thing that I have found that I expected to find is a lot of really good
kids. Thats what weve got to stay focused on. Those are the guys that have
probably been hurt the most.Baylors search for a new coach likely will intensify
this week, as many schools have completed their regular seasons. Baylor has not
offered its coaching position to anyone yet, sources told ESPNs Adam Rittenberg.
SMUs Chad Morris is believed to be a candidate for the opening, along with Cals
Sonny Dykes, North Carolinas Larry Fedora and others.The Bears (6-5, 3-5 Big 12)
play their regular-season finale Saturday at 14th-ranked West Virginia (9-2,
6-2), which is Grobes home state.Even though Baylor has lost five in a row since
starting 6-0 to get bowl eligible, any suggestions of the school turning down a
bowl berth seem moot. The Big 12 has seven bowl slots to fill and will have only
six bowl-eligible teams, including the Bears.Baylors skid started with a 35-34
loss at Texas, which came after a group of Baylor regents first provided some
details about some of the allegations against Briles in a Wall Street Journal
article. A week later, the Bears suffered their worst home loss since 2005. They
lost 62-22 to TCU a day after assistant coaches and several staff members issued
a statement on Twitter expressing their support for Briles and disputing claims
by regents that the former coach knew of an alleged gang rape.All the assistants
were retained from Briles staff. They included the former coachs son, offensive
coordinator Kendal Briles, and his son-in-law, running backs coach Jeff Lebby.We
got through the first six games pretty well, and for a couple of weeks lost some
focus. Some things in the press, and our coaches were upset. That in turn upsets
the players, Grobe said. Weve really played hard the last few weeks. We just
havent played well enough to win.This is Grobes 20th season as a head coach at
the FBS level. He previously led Wake Forest (2001-13) and Ohio (1995-2000).When
he initially got to Baylor, he said he had missed coaching and didnt discount
the idea of being there longer. But even as the Bears got off to a good start in
September, he quickly informed Rhoades -- who started at the school in
mid-August -- that he had no intention of staying past this season.I wanted him
to know early on that no matter how the season turned out -- it has nothing to
do with anything thats happened over the past five games -- that I was not a
candidate, Grobe said. That I was here to help for a season and that Id be out
of here, and he needed to start his search and be focused on finding the next
best guy for Baylor.Information from The Associated Press was used in this
report.
