NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
Well-traveled coach Steve Sloan,
now the offensive coordinator at
Vanderbilt University, says he’s feel
ing the pressure
as he returns to
the sidelines.
Vanderbilt
opens the season
Saturday night in
Dallas against
Southern Meth
odist.
“This week has been a little more
emotional for me,” said Sloan, for
mer head coach at Vanderbilt, Texas
Tech, Ole Miss and Duke as well as
ex-athletic director at Alabama.
“I have very strong feelings about
this school, and you get close to the
players,” he said. “You want them to
do well, to be successful. As a coach,
you want to have them prepared and
call the right plays for them. That’s a
whole lot of pressure.”
The last time Sloan helped pre
pare a Vanderbilt team for a game
was in 1974 when, as head coach, he
led the Commodores to the Peach
Bowl where they tied Texas Tech.
Ironically, a few weeks later he be
came head coach at Texas Tech.
From there he went to Ole Miss and
then Duke. He was athletic director
at Alabama last year until leaving in
a dispute.
Sloan, 46, who grew up in Cleve
land, Tenn., and played at Alabama
under coach Paul “Bear” Bryant,
said he never wonders what would
have happened if he had remained
at Vanderbilt.
“I’m just not a retrospective per
son,” he said.
“The thing I do regret about my
leaving Vanderbilt was that at first I
said I’d stay, then I didn’t. If I had it
to do over again, I’d handle it differ
ently.”
Because of his indecision, he left
the school in controversy. But Sloan
said he has sensed no residual re
sentment since returning for this
season.
“All the response had been posi
tive. Probably the warmest reception
has been from the guy on the street.
I go to a restaurant or go shopping
and I run into people who stop and
tell me they’re glad I’m back at Van
derbilt. That makes me feel good.”
He said he’s not evaluated his fu
ture.
“Maybe that’s poor planning on
my part. I’m just glad to be back in
coaching. I missed being away from
it. Right now I’m just trying to get
back in the swing of things. I haven’t
looked beyond that.”

IRVING (AP) — Troy Aikman
can joke about it but it grates on
him.
He’s a millionaire cjuarterback
who has never won a game in the
NFL.
Introduced at the Dallas Cow
boys kickoff luncheon recently as
the Most Valuable Cowboys’
Player in 1989, Aikman quipped
“I guess (running back) Paul
Palmer couldn’t make the flight
in from Cincinnati.”
Behind an offensive line thai

almost every week, Aikman hit

He threw nine touchdown passes
but suffered 18 interceptions.
>ay.
Aikman will be 0-11 as a start
ing quarterback when the Cow
boys open the season at home on
Sunday against the San Diego
Chargers at 3 p.m.
Dallas’ only victory in a 1-15
rookie year for Aikman was 13-3
over the Washington Redskins.
Starting quarterback was Steve
Walsh, who worked the five
weeks Aikman spent on the side
lines recovering from a broken
finger.
“Aikman has the same record
as Roger Staubach,” quipped
broadcaster Dale Hansen. “Each
one of them has had three con-
Staubach has been impressed
by Aikman.
“He has a quiet confidence
about him,” Staubach said. “1
think our personalities might be
the same.”
Aikman said he’s ready to win.
“I learned a lot the hard way in
my rookie season,” Aikman said
“I can read defenses better.
“At times last year, things were
a blur.”
Aikman will have to be produc
tive for Dallas to have a chance
against the Chargers while the
Cowboys backfield introduces
themselves to each other.
Alonzo Highsmith was ob
tained in a trade from Houston
and first round pick Emmiti
Smith signed a four-year con
tract, all this week.
Timmy Smith and Tommie

Aikman has come close to win
ning but the Dallas defense let
him down.
Aikman set an NFL rookie re
cord with 379 yards passing but
lost to Phoenix. He was knocked
unconscious as he delivered a 75-
yard touchdown pass to James
Dixon to give Dallas a 20-17 lead
over Phoenix with less than two
minutes to play.
When he woke up, the Cardi
nals had rallied to win the game.
San Diego will have a surprise
starter at quarterback, Mark
Vlasic, who beat out Billy Joe
Tolliver in training camp.
It’s Chargers running back
Marion Butts who worries Dallas
coach J immy Johnson.
“Butts impressed us when we
practiced with the Chargers and
played against them in a presea
son game,” Johnson said.
“San Diego beat us in the pre
season (28-16) so we know what's
ahead of us. ”
