After the “Saturday night massacre” on Feb. 25, 1989, the only thing that didn’t change was the name of the team. Tom Landry, the only coach in the team’s 29 years of existence, was fired. Club President Tex Schramm, rendered powerless and dispirited by the change of ownership, eventually left. Personnel director Gil Brandt, the last of the Cow boys’ “Big Three” who accounted for 19 consecutive winning seasons and five Super Bowls, was sacked. Front office staffers, secretaries, and assistant coaches were released. Veteran players such as Randy and Danny White were encouraged to retire. Others were cut. Run ning back Herschel Walker, the only offensive star left on the team, was traded. Owner Jerry Jones brashly predicted his good buddy and new head coach Jimmy Johnson would win more games in the first third of the season than Landry had (three) in 1988. But Jerry and Jimmy found it wasn’t that easy in the cannibalistic NFL. One victory football is all they managed and all they have in the trophy case one year after the upheaval of what once was “America’s Team.” Landry is more popular than ever. He has done a smash television commercial (sings in it, no less) and recently was chosen on first ballot as an inductee into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Schramm is biding his time and biting his tongue about the upheaval at Valley Ranch as he awaits the start of the World League of American Football in the spring of 1991. Jones and most of the NFL teams are partners in the undertaking. Brandt has been keeping a low profile as he plots his next professional move. He appears at basketball games and is critical of the way the new regime has done business. - Jones has tried to make peace with the fans and his critics. “I handled the Landry situation poorly,” he said. “But there wasn't an easy way to handle it. Jimmy was going to be my coach.” Johnson, accustomed to the heady success of na tional championship teams at the University of Mi ami, was stunned the Cowboys didn’t perform bet ter. “The players we have now love football and have a winning attitude,” he said. “Replacing the veteran players hurt us more than we thought. We thought we’d win more games.” When you visit Jones’ office — formerly Schramm’s — the first things you notice are the Cowboys’ two Super Bowl championship trophies. A year after the “Saturday Night Massacre,” the Cowboys have never been farther away from an other one. NEW Y ilkscame i lid threw play.

Van Poppel, a 6-foot-5, 210- pound right-handed power pitcher, chose the Longhorns over Miami, Louisiana State and Texas A&M. He said chances are “pretty good right now” that he will attend college rather than sign a professional con tract. “I haven’t given too much thought to the pro draft,” said Van Poppel. “I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.” Van Poppel and Cleburne pitcher Mark Lummus became the fifth and sixth recruits to choose the Long horns. FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) — Ray mond Berry was fired Monday as coach of the New England Patriots in a power struggle with General Manager Pat Sullivan. Pittsburgh de fensive coordinator Rod Rust, a for mer Patriots’ assistant, reportedly was the top candidate to succeed Berry. The firing came one day before Berry’s 57th birthday and after 5‘A seasons on the job. He had one sea son left on his five-year contract. Sullivan had no comment on the firing, but said he would meet with reporters Tuesday. The team re leased a statement saying simply that Berry had been relieved of his du ties. The Steelers said they had given Rust permission to talk with the Pa triots. The Patriots were 5-11 last season and missed the NFL playoffs for the Sullivan he planned to split the of- third consecutive year. Berry, who had worked without offensive and defensive coordinators in 1989, was pressured by Sullivan to add those positions. fensive coordinator’s job between running back coach Bobby Grier and quarterback coach Richard Wood, Sullivan went to Kiam. The owner gave Sullivan permis sion to find a new coach. But while Sullivan reportedly pre ferred outsiders, Berry wanted to fill those spots from his current staff. Last December, shortly after the season, Patriots owner Victor Kiam reportedly offered former San Fran cisco coach Bill Walsh the job of club president and the power to hire a coach or take the job himself. “It was time for Pat to step up to the plate and take charge,” Kiam said. The Berry. Patriots were 48-39 under When Walsh declined, Berry ap peared to be on firmer ground en tering the final year of his contract, which reportedly gave him control over team personnel. But after Berry is said to have told If Rust, 61, is hired, it would be his first NFL head coaching job. An assistant with four pro teams the past 14 years, Rust was Berry’s de fensive coordinator for 3,A seasons before filling that position with Kan sas City in 1988 and the Steelers in 1989.
