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.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Its been a difficult few months for the Olympic womens basketball teams from Turkey and France. Both countries have been victimized by deadly extremist attacks, and Turkey is struggling with the aftermath of a bloody attempted coup.For players on both teams, being at the Summer Olympics in Rio offers a respite from whats happening at home -- and a chance to show the world a united front.In France, we started to lose faith in people, French center Isabelle Yacoubou said. I hope these Olympics will show people how we can come back together. We are all here together. Its not like some French, because youre black or white, are against other French people. We are all French and fighting for the country. I hope this little time, we will find some joy and try to forget these bad moments.The teams played each other in their Olympic tournament opener Saturday, which Yacoubou thought was special. France opened with a 55-39 victory over Turkey.Before the game, Yacoubou and her teammates stood proudly while the French national anthem plays . For the past few years, the players have had a tradition of facing their countrys flag with their arms around each others waists.With all thats happened, for me its really special, Yacoubou said. Some crazy people did some crazy things. Its very special to be proud of this flag and we show it in front of everybody.Yacoubou was deeply affected by the July 14 truck attack in Nice , which left 85 dead. She has a house in the area and spends time there every summer with her husband and son. She was in Italy when the attack on a holiday fireworks crowd took place.I felt a really big pain. What can we do? she said. All we can do is represent our country the best we can and keep going.French teammmate Sandrine Gruda echoed the sentiment.ddddddddddddWe show pride in our country with the flag and we hope these next few weeks can help heal, she said.After Saturdays game, the French turned and applauded the smattering of fans waving a couple of French flags. The turnout took the team by surprise, especially with an early tipoff on the opening day.We didnt know a lot of the fans were here, French guard Sarah Michel said. It was nice. You dont know these people, but you play for them and all the people on TV, so were happy to play, to win and to share with them the game.Turkey also is in need of healing after a string of deadly attacks blamed on the Islamic State group or Kurdish rebels. The Istanbul Airport was bombed on June 28, right before the womens team was about to reconvene for its pre-Olympic training. Then, while the team was training in Slovenia, some militants tried to take the country over on July 15 in a failed coup attempt that left at least 270 dead.I think we all feel a heightened sense of responsibility to show that we are representing Turkey, Sebnem Kimyacioglu said in a first-person story on ESPNW.com. (Show) that we are still on our feet, still standing tall. Our success as a team will not only be a sign that Turkey is a democratic nation, where people of many races, nationalities and religions live together, but I believe it will be a glimmer of hope for the people of Turkey.We are proud of our country, she added. There are a lot of Turkish people who have been living through some dark days and losses recently. Turkish people have a lot of pride, and we want to make them proud of us. ' ' '
