Two stories related to previous members of the Dolphins organization with ties to Texas A&M
http://espn.go.com/college-football...uspend-assistant-coaches-offensive-slide-show
Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin suspended offensive line coach Jim Turner and special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Jeff Banks for "degrading comments towards women" that were part of a slideshow that was shown to about 700 attendees in the program's annual "Chalk Talk for Women."
Turner was the Miami Dolphins' offensive line coach during the Jonathan Martin hazing scandal. He was fired by Miami in February 2014 for "poor judgment."

Former Texas A&M All-American linebacker Antonio Armstrong and his wife, Dawn, were shot and killed early Friday in their Houston home.
Police say a 16-year-old boy has been charged as a juvenile with murder in the slayings. The suspect's identity is being withheld because of his age.
....
Antonio Armstrong was a letterman who played for the Aggies from 1991 to '94, and in a statement Friday, Texas A&M described him as a cornerstone of the "Wrecking Crew" defense. He was named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award as a senior after leading the Southwestern Conference in quarterback sacks and tackles for loss, and was named a first-team Associated Press All-America linebacker in 1994.
Armstrong was selected in the sixth round of the 1995 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. An ankle fracture in training camp led to his release that October. He then signed with the Miami Dolphins and played in four games that season, logging four solo tackles.
