When Baylor curiously hired former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe to replace fired coach Art Briles on an interim basis, Grobe was curiously held up as the cool hand the program's fevered brow needed.

Since that time, Grobe has announced he will retain all of Briles' assistants (yuck). He's also unsure if letting teenagers out of their letters of intent is a good idea for them but also the program that, by its own admission, engaged in systemic coverup of sexual assaults. 

From foxsports.com:

A day after having an in-home visit with Baylor's new acting head coach Jim Grobe and three assistants, Bears signee Parrish Cobb had hoped he'd get some good news about the school releasing him from his letter of intent, but that hasn't happened.

Collis Cobb, the cornerback's father, told FOX Sports on Thursday night that he called the Big 12 compliance office earlier in the day and left a voicemail. "I'm hoping we can get some guidance and get some good news from them, that they're in our corner, and hopefully they'll do the right thing."

Baylor has a 30-day deadline to respond to each recruit's request for a release and without that release, the recruit is not allowed to have any contact with another school. The other Baylor signees requesting their release are J.P. Urquidez, Jared Atkinson, Kameron Martin, Donovan Duvernay and Patrick Hudson, according to an ESPN report.

Just think how about that full report (which, by the way, we may never see) must be.
