San Diego Chargers tight ends coach Clancy Barone has agreed to become our next offensive coordinator. I am sure Barone is a good coach, but to specifically hire a tight ends coach is interesting given that: 1) we have one of the best tight ends, 2) the general feeling is that he was under utilized (although he was our #1 receiver with 45 catches, 541 yards, and 4 TDs), 3) he is about to jump to the NFL, and 4) Sherman has already pointed out to him how the Texans offense utilizes its tight ends. Is this hire a move to get Ma Bennett to stay, kind of like how Turge hired DeAndre Jordan's AAU coach Byron Smith?

McGee will have surgery after the Alamo Bowl to "get something cleaned up", which apparently happens when you play like McGee plays and "get the crap knocked out of you now and then."

Backup QB Jerrod Johnson is back with the team after taking some time off to be with his family after his father passed away. Jerrod's dad, Larry, was a receiver and defensive back for A&M from 1976-79.
