Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:01:01 GMT

Kansas State and Jerome Tang agreed to a new seven-year contract Monday after the men’s basketball coach took a program that had just two returning players and was picked last in the Big 12 to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament last season.The contract replaces the six-year deal that Tang signed last year, when the longtime Baylor assistant was picked to replace the fired Bruce Weber in Manhattan. Tang will be paid $3 million for the upcoming season with $100,000 raises each year, finishing with $3.6 million for the 2029-30 season. He also will earn $200,000 retention bonuses after the next four seasons.“What Coach Tang and his staff did in their first year here was phenomenal,” said Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor, who was responsible for hiring him. “The run to the Elite Eight was remarkable, but what separates Coach Tang is his pure love of his players and the relationships he builds with everyone that he encounters.”Tang, who was the ceremonial drum leader f...

At 0-3 after a week of bad news, the Bears are in crisis mode

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:01:01 GMT

Consider it a crisis for the Chicago Bears. A 41-10 beatdown by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs was the final blow during a brutal week for a franchise reeling with 13 consecutive losses.“Just gotta have belief,” coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. “You’ve gotta have belief in each other. You’ve gotta have belief in the coaches, belief in the players, belief in the man sitting next to you and the work that we put in every single day and knowing that we’re gonna get better and knowing that history shows you that in the NFL, if you do that, if you’re able to have the stamina to push through obstacles and push through adversity, good things are gonna happen.”It’s been a long time since something good happened for the Bears (0-3). That’s something they’ll try to change when they host the dysfunctional Denver Broncos (0-3) this week.The Bears’ most recent win was a Monday night surprise at New England last Oct. 24. They came into this season with their sig...

Bills have little time to enjoy rout over Commanders with high-scoring Dolphins up next

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:01:01 GMT

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Sean McDermott had little time savoring a blowout win in his 100th game as the Buffalo Bills head coach.Dominating as his defense performed in forcing five turnovers and getting nine sacks in a 37-3 victory at Washington on Sunday, McDermott was already focused on Buffalo’s next opponent: the Miami Dolphins.“On to Game 101. Honestly, Week 4,” said McDermott, after improving to 64-36. “I think I just saw Miami put up 70-plus points. So, long week ahead.”McDermott can be excused for suggesting Miami’s output was 70-plus, because the challenge ahead can’t be overstated even by someone who is acutely familiar with the Dolphins, and has a 11-2 record against Buffalo’s AFC East rival.With the New York Jets (1-2) struggling minus Aaron Rodgers, and the offensively challenged Patriots limping to a 1-2 start, the Dolphins-Bills outing on Sunday represents an enticing early season division showdown.The Dolphins (3-0) enter Monday leading the NFL in points score...
