Detroit GM denies offering Glanville Lion coaching job HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Oil ers Coach Jerry Glanville isn’t com menting about it, Detroit Lions Gen eral Manager Russ Thomas is denying it and Oilers owner Bud Adams said he will not allow it to happen. The “it” is recent speculation about whether Glanville will be the Lions’ next coach. The Houston Post reported Wednesday that Glanville met unof ficially with Detroit and was offered a five-year, $3 million contract. Although Glanville has refused to comment, the Lions’ general man ager denied the report. “If I had any interest in Jerry Glanville, I would talk first with (Oil ers owner) Bud Adams and (general manager) Ladd Herzeg,” Thomas told KRIV-TV in Houston in a tele phone interview Wednesday. “If (Lions owner) Bill Ford was in terested in Jerry Glanville, he’d tell me and we would follow the rules. That’s why we have rules,” Thomas said. Adams, meanwhile, said he would not release Glanville from the re maining two years of his five-year contract with the Oilers. “That’s something I don’t even want to talk about,” Adams said. “As far as I’m concerned, he’s got a con tract for two more years and he has to honor it. I’m not interested in Jerry Glanville coaching anywhere else. That’s why you sign contracts, so you won’t have to deal with these things.” Glanville would not address the subject Tuesday, saying, “I’m just trying to get ready for the Cardi nals.” The Oilers host the Phoenix Cardinals on Sunday in the Astro dome. Glanville, who was born and reared in Detroit, once wrote an es say in the eighth grade saying he was going to be the head coach of the Li ons some day. He also has been friends with Ford since he had his first National Football League coaching job with the Lions in 1974, Adams said he would not even al low Glanville to talk to the Lions about thejob. “But he’s never told me he wanted to coach there.

Lateral meniscus cartilage was re moved from Tarpley’s left knee, Ke vin Sullivan said. rumors to that effect,” Adams said. On the two remaining years of his contract, it is believed Glanville will get $300,000 per year, about half of what he reportedly would be paid by the Lions. The Lions named defensive coor dinator Wayne Fontes as an interim replacement for Darryl Rogers, who had an 18-40 record when he was fired Monday. “We’ve interviewed no one and have no plans at this point,” Thomas said. “Wayne Fontes is our interim coach and we hope he does well and can stay in the seat. He’s a strong candidate for thejob.” Glanville is 21-23 as a head coach but he took the Oilers to the playoffs last year and seems to have them headed back for a return appear ance this season. He said rehabilitation is scheduled to begin Friday. The 7-foot Tarpley won the NBA’s Sixth Man Award last year. This year, he averaged 14.5 points and 11 rebounds in four games. He was injured last week in a game against Phoenix.
