Ryan talks
still going,
says Wood
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston
Astros General Manager Bill
Wood said negotiations with free
agent pitcher Nolan Ryan contin
ued on a “give and take” basis
Wednesday.
“The process is still working
and negotiations are give and
take,” Wood said in a statement.
“We still hope to get it settled be
fore Thanksgiving.”
Wood declined interviews
Wednesday.
Ryan confirmed on Tuesday
that the California Angels had of
fered him a substantial one-year
contract and that he would meet
with Wood Wednesday to get an
updated offer.
California General Manager
Mike Port is believed to have of
fered Ryan a one-year contract
worth between $1.2 and $1.3 mil
lion.
Ryan pitched for California
from 1972-79 before Astros
owner John McMullen made
Ryan the best-paid player in base
ball with a $1 million-a-year con
tract in 1980.
“We received shipment on our
Bring Back Nolan Ryan’ T-shirts
today at the office,” Port said.
“We all put them on and we’re
keeping our fingers crossed.”
Ryan led the National League
in strikeouts for the second
straight year last season with 228,
marking the ninth time he’s led
the league in strikeouts.
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. All I’ve heard were

knee surgery Wednesday, a team
spokesman said.

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.
