As reported on Gazette.com yesterday, Air Force defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter will be accepting the defensive coordinator position at Texas A&M.
Multiple sources have confirmed DeRuyter’s departure, but an official announcement likely won’t come until Thursday after a scheduled meeting of the Texas A&M Board of Regents. Here’s my story on DeRuyter.
Switching gears to hoops, Air Force faces New Mexico tonight and tries to avoid some infamy. A loss would be the Falcons’ 20th regular season Mountain West Conference defeat in a row and set a new record for consecutive league regular season losses.
In today’s edition of The Gazette, I wrote about forward/center Grant Parker, whose promising senior season has been derailed – for now – by injury. Also, here are my 3 Things to Watch in tonight’s game.
Finally, Gazette columnist David Ramsey checks in on Air Force’s former coach.
I am all about giving coaches time to set up and get things started and i know that he got a bare cupboard compared to what was here, but we have steadily gotten worse. I have talked to many basketball players and my concerns grow more and more. Reynolds is not getting the job done and it seems clear. I know it is tough to recruit here, but he isn’t doing much in that department either. Over the last three year i know two freshmen that have left and not because of the military portion, but because they hated playing for him and i am hearing rumblings from a third this year. With the results that he is bringing how much longer do you think we will have to endure this spectacle before we get a new coach?
