WACO, Texas - The Baylor assistant football 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.
