Jackie Sherrill, embattled Texas A&M; football coach, made his first public appearance since the George Smith story broke and reiterated he will make no comments about the matter until after the season and the completion of an internal investigation by the school.

Sherrill missed Saturday’s 18-0 victory over Texas Christian while Smith recanted the story he told to The Dallas Morning News about receiving “hush” money from Sherrill during an NCAA investigation of the A&M; football program. Smith said he told the story to make a proposed book sell.
