Baylor assistant resigns after citation for urinating on bar

WACO, Texas -- The Baylor assistant coach cited for public urination resigned Thursday.

Offensive line coach Eric Schnupp was suspended indefinitely by the university this week after being cited for urinating on the bar at a tavern. His resignation was effective immediately.

Schnupp was in his first season at Baylor, the world's largest Baptist university. He spent the previous three seasons coaching the offensive line at West Texas A&M.

Head coach Guy Morriss and offensive coordinator Lee Hays will oversee the offensive line. Morriss had doubled as offensive line coach before hiring Schnupp during the offseason.

Schnupp wasn't arrested, but issued a citation early Sunday for disorderly conduct-reckless exposure at Scruffy Murphy's, police said. The citation is a Class C misdemeanor carrying a $258 fine, according to Waco Municipal Court.

Bartender Danny Severe said an employee saw Schnupp urinating on the bar, and a manager told police officers who were there on an unrelated matter, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Tuesday.

The incident occurred several hours after the team had returned from Lawrence, Kan., where the Bears lost to Kansas 58-10 Saturday.

Baylor plays No. 19 Texas at home Saturday.

I don't know how the law is in Texas, but I know here in Florida it's a good thing he resigned. In Florida they'd have a tough time pushing him out the door with just a misdemeanor. Someone wanna back me up on this? Any law students from Florida post on this board? :-)

I think someone here is that sort of person :-?

It would depend. If ti was not at will and he had a contract with the school, which is most likely since he was a coach, they would need to look and see if he violated a clause in his contract. If he did not than they cannot fire him for this. Misdemeanors in and of themselves do not violate those contracts so you are right that it would be tough to push him out.
