Genius in a cardigan?
49ers Coach Siefert ‘quietly’ guides team to Super Bowl
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Pa
cific Ocean off Pacifica, just south of
San Francisco, is anything but pa
cific.
And that’s how it was the day
three years ago when George Seifert
nearly drowned when his fishing
boat capsized. He struggled his way
300 yards to shore through the
frigid surf.
A few days later, Seifert and his
friends were back on the water and
since then, the same thing has almost
happened again at least three times.
“You’ve got to go back because the
fishing’s too good,” Seifert says.
“You’d think we’d wise up, but there
are some thrills in life you can’t over
come. You’ve got to do it.”
The day after the biggest victory
of his NFL coaching career, the 30-3
win over the Rams that put his San
Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl,
George Seifert looked far more like
a professor than Captain Ahab as he
faced the press wearing the same
patterned blue cardigan and top-
sider moccasins (without socks) he
had worn the week before.
“Lucky sweater?” someone asked
him.
“I guess so,” he replied with his
characteristic smile, then added:
“Pm glad no one asked about my
shorts.”
Of all the comparisons between
Seifert and his predecessor, that
comment may say the most. Can
anyone imagine Bill Walsh, who
frowned on four-letter words and
preached decorum as much as foot
ball, talking about underwear?
The man who has the 49ers on the
verge of their fourth Super Bowl
was a protege of the man who won
the first three and has his same pro
fessorial looks.
But he is about as different from
his predecessor as two men can be
who succeed in a demanding and of
fbeat profession.
Open gives Krickstein new hope
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Aaron Krickstein.
a 16-year-old phenom when he cracked the top 100 in
1983, is still chasing his first Grand Slam title and trying
to get into the upper echelon of players.
Mats Wilander, 25, knows what it’s like to be No. 1, to
win an Australian Open, a French Open, a U.S. Open.
He did it all in 1988 — and lost it all last year.
But they operate now in the shadows of Ivan Lendl,
Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and John McEnroe, capa
ble of beating any of them but more often losing to
them in the big matches.
Krickstein, the son of a doctor and grandson of a
rabbi from Grosse Pointe, Mich., is ranked No. 7 in the
world, certainly a fine accomplishment but short of his
dream of being No. 1.
Soft-spoken and easy-going, Krickstein doesn’t mind
laboring in relative obscurity and letting the pressure
fall on others.
“I can understand why people wouldn’t say I’m a
threat to win the tournament— I’ve never got even to a
final” of a major, he said Thursday after reaching the
third round of the Australian by beating Ramesh Krish-
nan 6-1, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.
“It doesn’t really bother me being behind the scenes,”
he said. “I just try to get as far as I can and then maybe I
can play well at the end of the tournament and cause an
upset or something.”
Wilander, a Swede who has homes in Greenwich,
Conn., and Monaco, says he just wants to “get back to
scratch,” to find the winning formula after a year of in
juries, aimlessness on the court and personal problems.
After beating Canada’s Martin Wostenholme 6-2, 7-
conditions, but it’s the same for both players.”
Pokes looking at underclassmen
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Cow
boys will need a few good men to
help them improve on last season’s
NFL-worst record.
And some of those players are
likely to come from a pool that Cow
boys owner Jerry Jones said he op
poses.
Jones has already said he is
against allowing college under
classmen to leave school early for the
National Football League draft. But
he concedes that the expected flood
of juniors this year could help the
team rebound from 1989’s 1-15 re
cord.
“The more we can condense that
rebuilding, the sooner we have ac
cessibility to good players, the
quicker our rebuilding job will be,”
Jones told the Dallas Times-Herald.
E ected to challenge him for fear of
>sing a court battle. The Alabama
star is expected to be the overall No.
1 pick.
Scouts, agents and NFL analysts
estimate 10-to-30 underclassmen
will follow Alabama junior line
backer Keith McCants’ lead into the
draft. McCants announced his plans
to turn pro Tuesday.
Although McCants is not eligible
for the April 22-23 draft under NFL
guidelines, the league is not ex-
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue was
scheduled to meet NCAA Executive
Director Richard Schultz Thursday
to discuss the issue. Tagliabue this
week called the league’s draft rules
“vague and uncertain.”
Tagliabue is preparing a policy re
vision to accommodate more under
classmen. That report should be re
ady when the owner’s meet in
March.
Clemson coach resigns
amid NCAA violations
Peden
(Continued from page 7)
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
Clemson’s Danny Ford, armed
with a $1 million settlement, re
signed Thursday and ended an
11-year coaching tenure that
brought the Tigers national
prominence and NCAA penal
ties.
Ford’s resignation comes less
than two weeks after the NCAA
informed Clemson, the top foot
ball power in the Atlantic Coast
Conference, of 14 alleged rule vi
olations committed between 1984
and 1988 by the football pro
gram.
The 41-year-old Ford said he
would “cooperate and participate
with Clemson” in responding to
the NCAA inquiry, which must be
completed by March 12.
“I deny any wrongdoing on my
part,” Ford said Thursday. “And
I am confident that an impartial
review of the facts will so prove.”
In his 11 years as coach. Ford
had the third best winning per
centage among active coaches,
having led the Tigers to a 96-29-4
record, including a 6-2 mark in
bowl games, and the 1981 na
tional championship.
In agreeing to leave Clemson,
where he spent 13 seasons as a
head coach and assistant, Ford
will receive $190,000 a year for
the next three —and possibly five
— years and $100,000 to pay off
the mortgage on his farm.
The school did not immedi
ately name a replacement for
Ford .
cause headaches for Astros
management, and nothing to
besmirch the name of Houston.
The only controversy he has been
involved in was when he asked
management not to use his name in
a beer promotion because he
thought it was an improper signal
for a role model like himself to send
out.
The only headache he has given
management is over salary.
Management’s position on salary
is understandable.
If Davis can continue to
consistently hit more than 30
homers a year, hit for a decent
power-hitting average (like .269),
and provide excellent defense and
leadership, he eventually will be
among the highest-paid players in
Major League Baseball.
Astros’ management knows that
by holding down his salary now, they
can hold it down in the future.
To put it another way, there may
be as much Mike Ditka as Bill Walsh
in George Seifert.
If most 49ers regard Seifert as a
players’ coach, there is steel behind
the white hair and affable exterior.
Just ask Tim McKyer, one of his
best defensive backs, who was sus
pended for two games after talking
back when Seifert asked him to re
turn to the lineup after sitting out
with a groin injury.
“He can be intimidating,” quar
terback Joe Montana says of a man
who looks and often talks like vanilla
ice cream. “Just ask the defensive
guys.”
Ask this defensive guy:
“Anybody who doesn’t think
George is tough doesn’t know what
he’s talking about,” says safety Ron
nie Lott, who played under Seifert
when he was the 49ers’ defensive
backfield coach and defensive coor
dinator.
“I mean this is a guy who’ll make
you do it over and over until you get
it right. If there were lights out there
on the practice field, we’d stay out
there at night.
“If the offensive guys thought
they were getting a softy, they were
getting a surprise.”
Ditka’s a bit of a stretch — Seifert
never has and never will grab a
player on the sidelines and shake
him in full view of the Mondat
Night Football cameras.
Seifert will never say “we stink”af
ter a loss, although he hasn’t had
much practice —just two losses in
his first 18 NFL games.
Seif ert is a coach without the ego
of most of his colleagues, including
Walsh, who rarely ducked awai
from the tag of “genius.”
“With this team, there’s plentyof
recognition to go around for even
body.” Seifert says. “I don’t thinkl
have to have it all. I don’t thinkithat
to l>e George Seifert’s team. It'stht
49ers team.”
And, if it beats Denver, a teamfoJ
history.
That’s a long way from where Seil
fert, who turned 50 Jan. 22, thougtil
his coaching career was headedadel
cade ago.
A native of San Francisco, he ail
tended Polytechnic High Sdio^
next to the 49ers’ old home at Retail
Stadium and served as an usheJ
there.
Then he played linebacker and
guard at the University of Utahand
got his first head coaching job ai
Utah’s Westminster College at agt;
26.
5, 6-3 to reach the third round, Wilander proclaimed
himself more confident.
“I sort of lost trust in my baseline game,” he said. “It
was pretty bad, I think, but I’ve got it now.”
Wilander, who dropped to No. 12 in the year-end
rankings, is currently 15th.
“I’m more concerned with winning another Grand
Slam title than being No. 1,” he said. “Winning a Grand
Slam proves the point that you’re not finished. I’m get
ting there.”
Wilander has been there before, having captured the
Australian in 1983, 1984 and 1988. He won the French
in 1982 and 1988, and was runner-up in the U.S. Open
in 1987 before winning it the next year.
Wilander’s next opponent, Australian Wally Masur,
won’t be a pushover, especially with the crowd roaring
for him. Masur beat Becker here in 1987 en route to the
semifinals.
The heat was terrible — 108 degrees on court — and
the flies were worse on Thursday but Becker, No. 3 Ed
berg and the other top seeds survived unscathed.
Argentina’s Gabriela Sabatini, the No. 2 women’s
seed, also reached the third round with Americans Zina
Garrison, No. 3, and Mary Joe Fernandez, No. 6.
Becker, fighting the sun at high noon, won a 6-3, 7-6
(7-4), 4-6, 6-2 slugfest against scrappy American Scott
Davis, the winner of last week’s New Zealand Open.
“It was hard to see the ball in the sun,” Becker said.
“It’s hot out there. It’s not easy playing under those
th ola
McCartney
given Bear
Bryant award
HOUSTON (AP) — Colon ,
do’s Bill McCartney, who led his;
team to a No. 1 ranking during
the season and a trip to the;
Orange Bowl, was awarded the:
Bear Bryant award Thursday as;
the nation’s top collegiate football'
coach.
Other finalists were Miami's j
Dennis Erickson, Notre Dame’s j
Lou Holtz and Bill Curry, former
head coach of Alabama.
McCartney was on a recruiting;
trip and was unable to attend the
ceremonies at the Hyatt Regeno
in Houston. But his son Mike, a
graduate assistant on the Buffa
loes staff, was in attendance tore
ceive the award on his father’s be
half.
It was McCartney’s first Bear
Bryant award.
Holtz won the award last year
and in 1977 while at Arkansas. I
Meanwhile, Holtz, who has\
been a finalist for the award the
last three of four years, said he
still thinks his 11-1 team should
have been named national cham
pion following their 21-6 Orange
Bowl victory over Colorado on
New Year’s Day.
“We did have the best record
and the hardest schedule,” Holtz f
said during a news conference*
prior to the awards ceremony
Thursday. “But we’re not com
plaining.”
Miami, who ended the season
with an 11-1 record in Erickson’s
First season, was voted No. 1 by|
The Associated Press after the
Hurricanes defeated Alabama
33-25 Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl.
Notre Dame, who lost to Miami
27-10 in November, finished No.
2.
Colorado ended the season
ranked No. 4 and Alabama No. 9.
However, management’s position
on the longterm contract is silly.
Every year, right around spring
training, Davis expresses his
dissatisfaction with the way
management is treating him
financially. It’s highly possible that
when he gets the chance, he will
express his dissatisfaction by signing
with another team.
There are plenty of teams that
would love to have Glenn Davis, and
there might be other teams that he
would love to play for.
Houston’s Astrodome is among
the largest major league ballparks.
It’s not conducive to home runs.
Davis might be attracted to playing
half his games in a smaller park,
where his power totals could
increase as much as 50 percent.
Historically, power-hitters have
not enjoyed playing in the Dome,
and Davis, although he doesn’t say
so, may be no exception.
The best way to keep him in the
Dome— and playing for the Astros
—is to give him the long-term
contract he deserves.
