The Texas Longhorns are in the market for a new men’s basketball coach.
Texas fired Rodney Terry on Sunday after three seasons, sources told FOX Sports. The Longhorns finished the 2024-25 season with a 19-16 record and a 6-12 mark in the SEC.
Terry, 56, was given the interim role when Chris Beard was fired midway through the 2022-23 season following a felony domestic violence arrest, a charge that was later dismissed. He proceeded to take Texas to the Elite Eight and athletic director Chris Del Conte lifted the interim tag to give him the full-time role.
Even after going 62-37 in his three seasons, the vibe surrounding Terry was not one of long-term commitment from Del Conte, and after blowing a 13-point lead to Xavier in a First Four matchup in this year’s NCAA Tournament, the writing appeared to be on the wall at a place that has championship expectations across the board.

Who could Del Conte and the Longhorns turn to next?
Ironically enough, the head coach of the Musketeers, Sean Miller, appears to be the early front-runner for the job, sources tell FOX Sports.
Miller, who is 487-196 as a head coach and has taken Xavier to two NCAA Tournaments in the last three years, including a Sweet 16 in 2023, is someone Del Conte is very intrigued by due to his winning pedigree.
A low buyout at Xavier, NCAA drama at Arizona being in the rearview mirror, and Miller’s history all give him leverage in this situation.

‘I’ve got to rein it in’ – Brook ready to change tactics in third Test
Harry Brook is prepared to "rein it in" in this week's third Ashes Test, admitting he has been guilty of "bad" errors since arriving in Australia.Brook has failed to fire in the series so far, managing just 98 runs in four innings and gifting his wicket with some poorly judged attacking strokes. The 26-year-old started the trip as the number two batter in the ICC world rankings, but has dropped two places in as many games and needs to carry more of the weight if England are to keep their campaign alive in Adelaide. Brook, who was promoted to vice-captain ahead of the tour, accepts he has made mistakes and has signalled an intent to be more selective."Sometimes I've got to rein it in a little bit, learn to absorb the pressure a bit more," he said. "I need to […]
Chiefs’ playoff elimination and Patrick Mahomes’ knee injury puts Chiefs dynasty at a crossroads. Is it a pause or the end?
As Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones processed Sunday’s 16-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a reporter’s question about being eliminated from postseason contention seemed to suddenly register in mid-thought.“I think the score was 13-13 or 13-10, so still had a fighting chance. Um…”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJones paused and looked at reporters.“Are we out of the playoffs?” he asked. “We are? OK.”He pursed his lips for a moment and went silent.Those few seconds felt like reality hitting home for the Chiefs defensive star. A totality on Sunday for Kansas City — from the top of the franchise to the bottom of the fan base — that carried the wallop of a sledgehammer. There would be no astounding turnaround and run to a Super Bowl. Instead, the team’s streak of seven consecutive AFC title game appearances ended, falling one short of […]

Cowboys playoff bid in tatters after McCarthy leads Vikings to win
JJ McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Minnesota Vikings severely damaged Dallas' playoff hopes with a 34-26 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday night.The Vikings (6-8) won a second consecutive game after they were eliminated from the postseason playoff race before the kick-off. Minnesota was a 14-win playoff qualifier a year ago. The Cowboys (6-7-1) have to win their three remaining games and hope defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia goes 0-3 in order for Dallas to overtake the Eagles in the NFC East. It was a second straight loss for Dallas after getting over .500 for the first time this season. "It's just a thing to keep building on the rest of the way and leading into next year," said Minnesota receiver Jalen Nailor, who caught both of McCarthy's TD passes. "We just have a one-game […]
