WACO, Texas -- Jim Grobe enjoys all the things that go with coaching, that until now he hasnt really been able to do as Baylors acting head coach.This has been far from the typical buildup to a season for the 64-year-old veteran coach who only three months ago took over when two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles was suddenly dismissed.Weve spent a lot of time talking about things that have to be talked about, no question. We had to deal with a lot of serious issues, Grobe said Monday. But now its kind of more light-hearted because were getting ready to play a game. And so its fun.Briles was quickly removed, and the schools president and athletic director later left as well, following the May release of a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.After winning 50 games the past five seasons, the 23rd-ranked Bears get a fresh start Friday night in their season opener at home against Northwestern State.Ive been waiting on it all summer, junior linebacker Taylor Young said. When its time to play everybody is excited about it. We want to win every minute, every day. Thats the mindset right now.Grobe, who won an ACC title with Wake Forest 10 years ago, was in semiretirement and out of coaching for two seasons when he got a call to help Baylor through a trying time.From his first days on the Waco campus, Grobe said players would be held accountable for any off-field issues. He also promised that university officials would be involved in more serious cases, and that no longer would the football coaches and staff solely handle discipline in such instances.On Monday, Grobe said he was waiting for university officials to make their ruling on any discipline for sophomore receiver Ishmael Zamora before deciding what to do from a football perspective. The coach had hoped for a resolution last week.Zamora was cited by Waco police for a misdemeanor charge after a video surfaced of him beating his dog with a belt this summer.I think we were criticized in the past for not having a process, and now were following that process, Grobe said. Its important that we strive to understand that were dealing with a young person here, and its critical that were fair and reasonable in our decision.While Zamora is listed as a starter on the initial depth chart released Monday, Grobe said the receiver wouldnt play Friday night if there isnt a decision from the university by then.Grobe said the depth chart was put together last week based on how the kids have performed this summer, and not with any thoughts of potential discipline.Junior safety Chance Waz, a returning starter, wasnt on the two-deep chart. When asked about Waz, Grobe said only that he wouldnt play the first two games because of a discipline issue with the university.After taking the job, Grobe kept all of Briles assistant coaches in an effort to keep things as consistent as possible on the field for the players. He was given the authority to make any necessary changes, but said he is glad he kept intact a group of coaches he called really good teachers who care for the players.This has been a very unusual situation obviously and especially for me in that in the past I had more input. ... Ive had to rely on our coaching staff quite a bit as far as the Xs and Os are concerned, and Ive relied on them primarily to kind of stack the guys up first-, second- and third-team, Grobe said. As we go forward I think I may be more involved, but I really couldnt do that until we start playing games and I see how the kids perform and how things go in competition.
