The San Antonio Gunslingers are proud to announce Malcolm Goines as the team’s new Defensive Coordinator. Widely regarded as one of the Indoor Football League’s most respected defensive minds and premier pass-rush developers, Goines enters the role with proven coordinator-level experience and a track record of building disciplined, aggressive, and highly productive defensive units.

Most recently, Goines served as Defensive Line Coach for the Bay Area Panthers, where his unit powered the IFL’s #1 overall defense during a 13–3 season. Under his leadership, the Panthers ranked Top 3 in sacks, #1 in tackles for loss which set a franchise record. His Defensive line unit also recorded over 50+ Quarterback hurries that led to 26 interceptions. Goines also coached First-Team All-IFL selection Jonathan Ross (Bay Area). Coach Goines helped establish Bay Area as one of the league’s most dominant and technically disciplined defensive fronts.

• 39 PPG Allowed — #1 in the IFL
• 188 Total Yards Allowed Per Game — #1 in the IFL
• 38.7 Rush Yards Allowed Per Game — #1 in the IFL

Across two seasons, Frisco posted a 27–7 regular season record, further cementing Goines’ reputation for building elite, assignment-sound defenses that control the line of scrimmage. During his time in Frisco, Goines also coached current Gunslingers Defensive Line coach, First team All IFL selection Charles Williams.

Beyond the IFL, Goines serves as a Defensive Line Coach and Regional Scout for the College Gridiron Showcase, coaching top collegiate prospects in front of NFL and CFL scouts while evaluating talent across multiple regions. He has also coached at the Dream Bowl, between working with both all star games Goines collaborates with 50+ NFL/CFL athletes and more than 100 collegiate players in all-star and professional development environments.

Since 2017, Goines has apprenticed under renowned NFL pass-rush specialist Brandon “BT” Jordan (Denver Broncos), contributing to the development of elite defenders including Von Miller, Rashan Gary, Brian Burns, Arden Key, Zach Allen, and John Franklin-Myers.

Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a major victory against Samsung, halting the company’s use of technology that allowed it to spy on Texans in their own homes. 

Samsung is one of the five major TV companies that was found to have been collecting personal user data through Automated Content Recognition (“ACR”) technology. This technology captured screenshots of its TVs every 500 milliseconds without the knowledge and consent of consumers, flagrantly violating Texas law. 

The Temporary Restraining Order (“TRO”) secured by Attorney General Paxton prevents Samsung, and all other persons in active concert or participation with the company, from continuing to use, sell, transfer, collect, or share ACR data relating to Texas consumers.

The District Court found that there was good cause to believe that Samsung’s actions violated, or were likely to violate, the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.  

“The days of Big Tech digitally invading Americans’ homes and spying on them are over,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton. “The right to privacy is fundamental, yet for too long smart TV manufacturers like Samsung were secretly using advanced technology to spy on Texans without their knowledge. Now, after filing our lawsuit just a few weeks ago, we’ve secured a court order stopping this unlawful monitoring. This is a major win for Texans and for digital privacy.”

This win follows an order Attorney General Paxton secured against Hisense, which is connected to the Chinese Communist Party, to stop the company from using ACR technology to spy on Texans. The Office of the Attorney General has sued five major television manufacturers for deploying this technology to collect sensitive consumer data without proper consent.
