Despite Baylor s impending coaching change and a late-season slump, the school still intends to play in a postseason bowl, athletic director Mack Rhoades said Monday.Our intent, at this time, is to accept a bowl bid for our student-athletes who have worked so hard to earn it over the course of this season, Rhoades said in a statement provided to ESPN. Our focus, as it has been throughout the season, is on our student-athletes and trying to finish strong against a great West Virginia team this weekend in Morgantown.Interim coach Jim Grobe signed an eight-month contract earlier this year, when he replaced fired coach Art Briles. Grobe reiterated Monday that he would not be a candidate for the position in 2017 and said its doubtful the new coach would retain any of the current assistants, in part because of their ties to Briles.The Bears (6-5) opened the season 6-0 and were ranked No. 8 in the Associated Press poll but have since lost five consecutive games. After a 35-34 loss to Texas on Oct. 29, Baylor lost four more by an average margin of 25 points.Following the Nov. 19 loss to Kansas State, several seniors told Baylor officials that they wanted to participate in a bowl game.
