(continued from page 9)
thought it would be best for Coach
Moore,” Jones said.
Moore became the first Tech head
football coach ever fired.
Jones said he wanted the school to
become more prominent in intercol
legiate football and said, “I would
like to see the university in a consis
tent comparative position, one
where we would occasionally get into
the Cotton Bowl. We are upgrading
our schedule with such schools as
Ohio State and Nebraska because I
feel it is important our athletes com
pete against the very best.”
Jones said there was no time limit
on naming Moore’s successor, but
added, “I hope we can accomplish it
as soon as possible because of re
cruiting.”
Speculation about Moore’s succes
sor immediately centered on Univer
sity of Texas defensive coordinator
David McWilliams and Texas Tech
defensive coordinator Spike Dykes.
Moore held a team meeting at
3:30 p.m. to tell his team, which in
cluded his son Chris, a walk-on
player. The Red Raiders then imme
diately began practice for Saturday’s
season finale at the Astrodome.
Moore, who was 4-6 at Tech this
season and 16-36-2 overall, said, “I
don’t know why they couldn’t have
waited at least four or five more days
before making the announcement.
This is a very tough thing on the
coaches involved and the families.
My main concern right now is for my
staff and their families.”
Moore, 46, has two ye^rs left on
his contract at $56,000 per season
and said he hoped an agreement
could be reached.
He told the AP that he was asked
to resign but refused.
“I refused because there was a
matter of pride involved and be
cause I had put in five hard years
here trying to make this school into a
football contender,” Moore said.
“What was I going to do, say that I
resigned for the good of the school?”
Texas Tech has not had a winning
season since 1978, and under Moore
never defeated a Top Twenty team.
However, the Red Raiders were
snake-bit this season, losing five
games by four points or less, includ
ing two by scnool-record 57-yard
field goals from the opposition.
“We didn’t have a whole lot of
luck, but I’m not blaming that for
what happened,” said Moore.
He said his successor will inherit a
talent-laden team.
“Whoever comes in here is going
to enjoy it because they will be work
ing with a great bunch of kids,” he
said. “It’s not inconceivable it could
be another Baylor or a 1984 TCU
team right here next year.”
Moore said he had to leave to go
tell his players and added, “I’ve got a
lump in my throat and a big knot in
my stomach.”
Veteran Texas Tech basketball
coach Gerald Myers, who took his
team to last year’s SWC basketball ti
tle, just shook his head and said,
“This is a real sad deal. He is proba
bly the unluckiest guy in the world.
He’s done a great job and the people
out here really liked him but he just
didn’t get those W’s.”
Moore, who came to Texas Tech
after an 11-11 record at North
Texas State, is the Red Raiders’ 10th
coach and had seasons of 1-9-1, 4-7,
3-7-1, and 4-7 before this year. Tech
is 4-6 and 1-6 in SWC playing going
into the Houston game.
Tech started off with three victo
ries but suffered successive SWC
losses to Baylor, Texas A&M, Ar
kansas and Rice. The lowly Owls’ 29-
27 victory on a 57-yard field goal
started rumors flying that Moore
was under fire by Texas Tech’s ad
ministrators.
Moore had said before the season
started “We have many things going
for us right now. We have one of the
most knowledgable coaching staffs
anywhere and we’ve recruited well.”

Upsets thrust Aggies
into AP’s No. 19 spot
Associated Press
After posting two straight upsets
of Top Twenty teams, Texas A&M
finally climbed into The Associated
Press Poll. With a 7-2 record, the Ag
gies reached the No. 19 spot in the
poll.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s record
wasn’t worthy of even one vote. But
the Panthers hold a key to a possible
national championship showdown in
the Orange Bowl — and perhaps a
bowl appearance of their own.
The 5-4-1 Panthers haven’t been
close to a berth in the Top Twenty
since the opening weeks of the 1984
college football season. They get a
close-up look at No. 1 Saturday
when they entertain Penn State, with
the Nittany Lions hoping to remain
atop the rankings for a third consec
utive week.
If Penn State, 10-0, can do it, and
if No. 2 Nebraska can beat fifth-
ranked Oklahoma at Norman,
Okla., the Lions and Cornhuskers
are virtually certain to meet in Mi
ami with the national championship
at stake.
For Pitt, the incentive to win —be- Nittany Lions, after pounding Notre
sides beating its cross-state rival —is Dame 36-6 last Saturday in what was
a possible bowl berth of its own. Ath- supposed to have been a competitive

27-24 and rose two places to third
with 1,020 points, followed by Mi
ami, which went from sixth to fourth
with 1,011 points despite being idle.
The two remaining first-place bal
lots went to Oklahoma, which moved
from seventh to fifth with 992jx)ints
following a 31-0 shellacking of Colo
rado. Michigan, with 923 points, also
moved up two places, to sixth, fol
lowing a 48-7 trouncing of Minne
sota.
Rounding out the Top Ten were
Oklahoma State, up from 10th to
seventh following a 21-19 victory
over Missouri; UCLA, up five rungs
to eighth after blanking Oregon
State 41-0; Florida, up two spots to
ninth by virtue of its 15-13 victory
over Kentucky, and Auburn, up to
10th from 14th following its 24-10
triumph over Georgia.
All of that moving up was due in
part to losses by Ohio State and Air
Force, ranked third and fourth, re
spectively, a week ago.
Ohio State was beaten 12-7 by
Wisconsin and Air Force lost 28-21
to Brigham Young, and each fell out
of the Top Ten — the Buckeyes to
12th and tne Falcons to 13th. Arkan
sas, a 10-6 loser to Texas A&M,
plunged from ninth place to 18th.
In the Second Ten were Brigham
Young, Ohio State, Air Force, Flor
ida State, Baylor, Tennessee, LSU,
Arkansas, Texas A&M and Georgia.
Last week, it was Florida, Georgia,
UCLA, Auburn, Florida State, BYU,
Baylor, Tennessee, LSU and Ala
bama.
