Report: Aggies hire new DC, and it's about time

According to a published report, Air Force's Tim DeRuyter will be Texas A&M's new defensive coordinator, pending approval of the board. DeRuyter, 47, did a great job turning Air Force's defense around, which was apparent in its shutdown of a terrific Houston offense in the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force held Houston to a season-low 222 yards passing and intercepted Case Keenum six times. If he can translate that kind of defensive effort to A&M,...


Betting on Rangers' rotation? Harrison or Holland at tail end

Bringing Colby Lewis back from Japan is a good, low-cost, low-risk move for the Rangers, who have to build depth among their starters. But look how it's shaping up: Rich Harden, Scott Feldman and Lewis, then Tommy Hunter gets first dibs at No. 4. Notice anything about those four? All righthanders. In the Ballpark, you're going to need a lefty to keep opponents from bouncing balls off the Home Run Porch. With that in mind,...

Hiring coaches: Why Tuberville is a good hire and Kiffin isn't

4:09 PM Thu, Jan 14, 2010 |
Kevin Sherrington/Columnist   E-mail   News tips

In the market for today's coaches, it's important to make the right hire, especially with the salaries that are getting thrown around. Gone are the days when big programs could hire assistant coaches on the cheap and hope they grow into something special. Even those coaches are high paid, e.g., Will Muschamp, who's making almost a million a year to run Texas' defense. If I'm hiring a coach for a national-caliber program, and I'm going...

Carson Leslie: 1992-2010

5:13 PM Tue, Jan 12, 2010 |
Kevin Sherrington/Columnist   E-mail   News tips

Carson Leslie, a Covenant junior whose three-year battle with cancer inspired readers and led to a close friendship with the Rangers' Michael Young, died early Tuesday morning. He was 17. The first time I wrote about Carson was in 2007, about a year after he'd been diagnosed with brain tumors. I wrote about him again last March, when the cancer came back. He wrote a book called "Carry Me" that chronicled his battle and faith,...


Steroids and Mark McGwire: Good luck moving on

11:28 AM Tue, Jan 12, 2010 |
Kevin Sherrington/Columnist   E-mail   News tips

The curious case of why Mark McGwire finally decided to come clean -- sort of -- about his steroids use is intriguing, it not entirely revealing. He knew he'd have to answer questions after coming out of his self-imposed exile to become the Cardinals' hitting instructor. Guess he figured a statement and scattered interviews with favorable media types would suffice, and everyone would move on. This is not going to happen. The Cardinals' training camp...

Suspension of Texas Tech's Mike Leach is well-deserved

2:31 PM Tue, Dec 29, 2009 |
Kevin Sherrington/Columnist   E-mail   News tips

No matter what you may think of Mike Leach or famous fathers or an athletic department that has employed not one but two high-profile coaches who won games, graduated players and still generated controversy, the facts in the latest circus at Texas Tech appear to be this: Adam James, son of the ESPN employee and former SMU star Craig James, was diagnosed with a concussion. His coach mocked the prescribed treatment. Read the rest here....
