Sources: Giants to fire coordinator
Bill Sheridan's first season as Giants defensive coordinator almost certainly will be his last. Though Tom Coughlin hasn't announced his intentions, several players, coaches and members of the organization all told the Daily News Sunday they expect Sheridan to be fired in the next few days. That's hardly a shock, since the team surrendered 427 points this year - the most since giving up 501 in 1966. (New York Daily News)Comment
Mets GM Omar Minaya is still trying to strike a deal with free-agent catcher Bengie Molina and has turned attention in recent days to a starting pitching pool that includes Ben Sheets, Joel Pineiro and Jon Garland. (New York Post)Comment
The rumors are Bill Cowher to Tampa. But I think Carolina is the job Cowher wants - he lives in North Carolina. Now that John Fox is not getting fired after the Panthers' strong finish, Cowher could wait one more year to see what happens with Fox, who has one year left on his deal. (New York Daily News)Comment
