Coaching football is life of assistants Robertson and Hum^ (Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles about the A&M football pro gram done by a team of Jour nalism 204 students and sub mitted to The Battalion for publication.) By BRAD ELLIS When football gets in your blood and you find you like all the people around you, you may be headed for a career as a foot ball coach. Melvin Robertson has been an assistant football coach at A&M for three months. He joined Emory Bollard’s staff after 21 years of high school and college coaching experience. He says he likes being at A&M and is im pressed by the great pride the former students have in the school. He rates Bellard as one of the top five football coaches in the country and is happy to be working under him. Robertson comes to A&M from the Univer sity of Houston. Ben Hurt comes to A&M from UH, also. Hurt is on the offensive staff and shares everyone’s con fidence in the Wishbone T—the triple option offense. He describes it as the best offense in football today. Its significance is evident in the University of Texas’ foot ball record since Bellard per suaded Darrell Royal to adopt it. They tied the first game they used it in, lost the second, and then won 30 games in a row, capturing the conference title four times and the No. 1 spot in the nation, Hurt explained. Two years ago, A&M’s offen sive line often seemed like a sieve, letting the opposing defense stream through to smash the quarterback while he was looking for a pass receiver. Hurt said the triple option offense, once it be comes established with the Aggie team, should cause opposing de fenses to tend to line up for the option play, leaving the Aggies good opportunities to surprise their opponents with other plays. Until then, the Wishbone T should be successful enough by itself. All of the various offensive and defensive tactics the Aggies will use next fall are explained in the 100-page notebook each coach has and each player must learn. The notebook contains the philosophy behind how the team will play the game. As Robertson said, it takes an intelligent player to have a working knowledge of all that information. It’s not like the old days, he said. Perhaps he was be ing somewhat prophetic about the eoming season, too. The Aggies play football against several powerhouse teams, Hurt said, and it helps in several ways. It is profitable to play very strong teams, and it boosts the recruiting effort. Young players like to big teams. It helps a tional ranking to beat p^j Nebraska or LSU. And of course it keepi spective the kind of team is playing.
