Jim Grobe came out of semiretirement to help Baylor get through a tumultuous season. After that is done, 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 the start of 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.The 64-year-old Grobe had been out of coaching for two seasons when last May he accepted the role as Baylors acting head coach. He said he committed then through January, which would include being part of the Bears bowl game, and now expects to be retired and playing golf after that.Despite some rocky times , Grobe says 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 since many schools have already completed their regular seasons.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, having previous 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.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys . - Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie never doubted he would bring back coach Dennis Allen for a third year despite back-to-back 4-12 records.

Wholesale NHL Jerseys Online . 8 Kansas to a 64-63 win over Texas Tech on Tuesday night. The freshman from Vaughan, Ont.Pakistan 579 for 3 dec (Azhar 302*, Aslam 90, Bishoo 2-125) and 123 (Aslam 44, Bishoo 8-49) beat West Indies 357 (Bravo 87, Samuels 76, Yasir 5-121) and 289 (Bravo 116, Amir 3-63) by 56 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsPakistans bowlers held their nerve to seize a 56-run win over West Indies after an intense, attritional fifth day in Dubai, in which Darren Bravo led his sides plucky tilt at a come-from-behind victory. Bravo scored a 249-ball 116, taking his side to within 83 runs of the target, before Pakistan finally overcame his dogged resistance to wrest back a match that had looked like slipping away. They wrapped it up with 12 overs remaining, to register a memorable win in their 400th Test.For much of the final day, Bravo proved to be an immovable object at the centre of the Dubai cricket ground. He carried forward his fine form and doughty resistance from the first innings, showing the application and patience to rebuff whatever Pakistan threw at him. His forward defensive shots, of which there were many, were perfectly middled, and he was equally convincing when leaving the ball. On occasion, he unfurled one of his crisp drives or cuts to the off-side boundary, but his knock was more about grit than flair.Bravo began the day batting on 26 off 67, with West Indies on 95 for 2, still 251 runs short of their target. After seeing Marlon Samuels depart off the first ball of the day and losing Jermaine Blackwood inside the first hour, Bravo shared a fighting 77-run fifth-wicket stand with Roston Chase and continued his vigil well after Chase departed. As West Indies pursued what would have been their second-highest successful chase, more and more came to depend on Bravo. He shouldered that burden until almost an hour into the final session. But with 83 runs to win and four wickets in hand, he played a tired drive off Yasir Shah, managing only to squirt the ball back towards the bowler, whose sensational diving catch was the last, decisive turn on a gripping final day.Yet West Indies had made Pakistan work much harder for the win than they would have expected after a promising start to the day. After Pakistans demoralising collapse on the previous day, Amirs first-ball wicket was just the tonic they needed. It was a rather unremarkable delivery, bowled from around the wicket, pitching on a good length well outside off and angling in. Samuels was drawn into poking at a ball he could easily have left and a thin edge was gleefully accepted by Saarfraz Ahmed behind the stumps.ddddddddddddBlackwood, coming in at No. 5, played a scratchy knock, fishing at balls outside off, with the bat well away from the body. He got away with numerous plays and misses against Amir, as well as a checked drive off a slower ball that fell between mid-off and mid-on. But it was to spin that he perished, when he played a length ball from Mohammad Nawaz from deep in his crease and was wrapped on the pads in front of leg stump.Chase then joined Bravo for a partnership that steadily revived West Indies and unsettled Pakistan over the course of 28.2 overs of stubborn fight. Wahab and Sohail Khan tested the batsmen with occasional bouncers and yorkers, Amir bowled probing lines, the spinners plugged away - but Bravo and Chase looked untroubled through it all.By the 71st over, Chases confidence had grown to the extent that he dared to drive Yasir against the turn for a boundary through midwicket. Perhaps that was when confidence became overconfidence. Next ball, Yasir flighted another one pitching outside leg and Chase attempted the same shot again. This time the ball turned past his outside edge to crash into leg stump.Two balls later, Wahab yorked Shane Dowrich to hit his middle and off stumps, sending him back for a first-ball duck. West Indies were now reeling at 194 for 6, and Pakistan had a firm grip on proceedings again.But Bravo was still at the crease and he had his captain, Jason Holder, for company. The two men saw the side through to dinner, leaving 114 to win in the final session. They continued to chip away at the target after the resumption, and Pakistans anxiety gradually built. When Amir wrapped Holder on the front pad with a delivery that appeared to be sliding down, Pakistans review of the not-out decision seemed more out of desperation than expectation. Hawk-Eye gave them no respite.Another hopeful review followed when Yasirs appeal for a catch at slip was turned down. The ball had gone off Holders pad. Pakistan had no reviews remaining. West Indies were 84 runs from victory. The tension was mounting.Two balls later, Yasir flew to his left to take the return catch of Bravo that decisively swung the match in Pakistans favour. West Indies last three wickets added 26 runs, but the sting had gone out of the contest, and a pair of run-outs handed Pakistan a hard-fought win. ' ' '
