Baylor tabs Rhule as new coach.

Matt Rhule is the new football coach at Baylor, where he takes over a beleaguered Big 12 program after winning 20 games over the past two seasons at Temple.

Rhule becomes the full-time replacement for Art Briles, who was dismissed after a scathing report over the university’s handling of sexual assault complaints, including some against football players.

Former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe had been out of coaching two years when he put his retirement on hold in May to serve as Baylor’s acting head coach this season. The Bears are 6-6 and headed to the Cactus Bowl even in the midst of a six-game losing streak.

Djokovic splits with coach.

Novak Djokovic says he and coach Boris Becker are splitting up after three seasons together.

Djokovic posted a statement saying the duo “jointly decided to end our cooperation.”

But after completing a career Grand Slam with his first French Open title in June, Djokovic’s season went off course. He was upset in the third round at Wimbledon, then in the first round at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and lost his No. 1 ranking to Andy Murray last month.
