More DMN updates

I believe that Calvin Watkins, who had covered SMU, is moving to the Cowboys beat replacing Jacques Taylor. Hadn't heard anything about Whitmire.

 

Archer out?

 

Backing up Archer.

 

Keith Whitmire is off the Big 12 beat, now covering preps. Tim McMahon, formerly preps writer, covering Big 12. Deck chairs ... Titanic... etc.

 

Off the Big 12 beat and going to preps? Damn, that's gotta hurt.

 

i assume whitmire is now looking for a new job. wow.

 

This was the news I was waiting for someone else to spill.

Good for T-Mac. Sucks that it had to happen this way, though.

Whitmire is soooo outta there.

 

I heard he is awful anyway.

 

This isn't the first time Whitmire has been demoted is it?

 

If it's true Keith was going to be demoted off the Big 12 beat, it sucks that his editors didn't man up before the buyout so he could make an informed decision. Shows just how slimy that place has gotten. He's a solid reporter and writer and deserved better.

MacMahon had been high-profile on their preps coverage, so his elevation was just a matter of time. But a word to the wise, Tim -- watch your back, because nobody in that shop stays the fair-haired boy (or girl) forever.

 

Lone Star:

You are so right. But Keith is a Dallas guy, so I doubt he leaves. Plus, it's possible to come back after being demoted. Yates was once demoted to a desk guy... and look where he is now.

 

Guess that explains why he acts the way he does, Standman. But who is he trying to get even with?
