SEE MORE… Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale out in major Giants shakeup A team cannot endure a season the Giants just completed without changes being made, and coach Brian Daboll wasted no time in making several of them. The biggest head to get chopped was that of defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, who is said to have resigned Monday afternoon after a series of moves by Daboll that made it crystal clear that the tension between the two was real and ultimately untenable.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — New Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel has taken significant steps to help create bonds on a team with many new pieces. Gabriel, a transfer from Central Florida who took part in spring practice, was busy showing his teammates around the state last month. He got his offensive playmakers together at a ranch in Lawton and took his offensive linemen to Lake Thunderbird, among other things. The efforts were needed because the Sooners have a new coaching staff, and new coach Brent Venables said 40% of the roster has never taken a snap for the team. Some of the…
Jarome Luai isn’t the first Panthers five-eighth to arrive at a struggling club with massive expectations. What can he and the Tigers learn from Matt Burton’s early Bulldogs struggles? For one glorious year, Jarome Luai and Matt Burton starred together on Penrith’s left edge, winning the 2021 Grand Final. In that match, it was Luai’s silky hands feeding a rampaging Burton into acres of space to open the scoring against Souths, who contained the Penrith five-eighths future head coach, Benji Marshall. Matt Burton traded Penrith for Belmore in 2022, arriving with heavy expectations of revitalising one of rugby league’s underwhelming clubs’ fortunes. So far,…

Once coach Todd Bowles, the Buccaneers’ defensive play-caller, took away the “Tush Push,” the late-season collapse for the Eagles was complete Monday night. Bowles and his frequent blitz calls smothered…

FRISCO, Texas — Mike McCarthy hopes history can repeat itself. For him to have a long-term future with the Dallas Cowboys, it might have to. In his fifth year with the Green Bay Packers in 2010, he won Super Bowl XLV. He enters his fifth season as Cowboys head coach in 2024 without any assurance he will be back in 2025 since he is in the final year of his contract. “I believe that the direction, the leadership, everything is in place,” McCarthy said. “And I’m not very comfortable talking about myself, but I came here to win a championship. I didn’t come…

“I would much rather have talent and expectations than a low bar with a rebidding process ahead.” If you wanted to know why Steve Kerr chose Golden State over the New York Knicks, that quote from him at his introductory press conference on Tuesday (streamed on CSNBayArea.com) was the clearest answer he gave. Yes, there is more money and more years than New York offered. But Kerr was clear that being on the West Coast close to his family (his daughter is at Cal, his son plays basketball for San Diego State, his other son is still in high school)…
