National reaction: Jim Grobe is 'polar opposite' of former Baylor head coach Art Briles, is a 'man of integrity'

The Baylor Bears have their football coach of the (interim) future in Jim Grobe. The Twitterverse apparently approved of the move.

Here's some of what SportsDay's Chuck Carlton had to say about the hire (see his full article here):

The 64-year-old Grobe had a nice run with five bowl appearances in 13 seasons at Wake Forest, a private school that has been a very difficult place to win. Wake won 28 games from 2006-08, including an ACC title in 2006 and an appearance in the Orange Bowl. Grobe and Wake were the first opponents of the Briles era at Baylor, posting a 41-13 win at Floyd Casey Stadium in 2008.
