One theory is that the changeover from Howard Schnellenberger to Coach jimmy Johnson has been less than smooth. One unidentified player was quoted as complaining he was getting told one thing by one as sistant coach and another thing by another member of the staff The implication was that there are differences of opinion between holdovers from Schnellenberger’s staff and the assistants Johnson brought in. A steely-eyed Johnson, who took over the defending national colle giate champions in August, coldly disputed the theory at a tense meet ing with reporters Tuesday. “I really don’t see the transistion as being a factor,” Johnson said. Has he put into ef f ect a new hard- nosed approach that includes more discipline and less tolerance? No and yes. “I haven’t put my foot down. I’ve adjusted my approach,” Johnson said. “Before, I was in a situation where it was best not to make waves and make rules. There were a mini mum amount of changes. “Now we have to do what we have to do. I have to do things I believe in doing.” Johnson didn’t have any kind words for the report about conflicts within his staff. “It doesn’t take a lot to ask, in stead of quoting an unidentified source,” he said. “I don’t know what the motives of a lot of people are. I think it would have been better to approach the thing in a proper man ner. “What we do within the team and on the staff stays among the team and the staff.” Quarterback Bernie Kosar wasn’t as charitable. “I think the internal conflict has been magnified by what I think are just out-and-out lies that I’ve read or heard about,” Kosar said. David Heffernan, the articulate offensive lineman who has become one of the team’s spokesmen prefers to look ahead. “I think the image that’s coming across is that we’ve got a whole lot of problems and I really don’t feel we do,” he said. “The wheels fell off on Saturday and we’re going to get back on track this Saturday.” Whether the rumors of dissension and turmoil are correct or not, there is another theory that makes sense — burnout. Johnson and Kosar both hint this is the case. After the spectacular vic tories over Auburn and Florida, there was no place to go but down emotionally. “I think the big problem was after the Florida game, the way we came back, was we expected to come back against Michigan and go out and do good,” Kosar said. “And after Michi gan, we expected to come back against Purdue. Then even though we beat Purdue, we didn’t do that good, we expected to come out in our home opener and be ready to play. You can’t expect things to hap pen. You have to make them hap pen.” Johnson echoed Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden’s comment af ter the game. Bowden said he wasn’t afraid of the Hurricanes at all be cause of the rugged schedule they had played. “Quite a few people are looking for causes, reasons and even scape goats,” Johnson said. “We came off an extremely difficult schedule and were whipped by an outstanding Florida State football team.” If there are serious problems be hind the scenes, the cure may be at hand this week in the Rice Owls. They’re 1-1 including a loss to the Minnesota Gophers. r Shape of Things | 00 ^ 4417 Tx- Ave. South ft cfip includes shampoo & cut advertised price good for short hair onfy, sdgfufy higher charge for medium & (ong hair. ^ Good thru Sept. 29th.
