Texas Christian extends
Wacker’s contract to 1992
FORT WORTH (AP) — Texas
Christian ended debate over the fu
ture of football coach Jim Wacker
Monday, extending his current con
tract until at least 1992.
Wacker accepted a “rollover” one-
year contract on top of his existing
pact, which extends through the
1991 season. Sports Information di
rector Glen Stone said.
Stone said the rollover or ongoing
clause means in effect that Wacker
will have a two-year contract at the
start of the 1991 season and each
succeeding year unless other action
is taken.
The announcement came after a
closed-door meeting Monday be
tween athletic director Frank Wind-
egger and Dr. William Tucker, TCU
chancellor.
“I am thrilled to death,” Wacker
said in a prepared statement.
“This gives me and my staff a
continuing two years to develop this
football program,” he said. “Finally,
our numbers are back up; we have
nucleus of outstanding young talent,
and the future has never looked bet-
1985 campaign that seven oft
players, including All-American:
ning back Kenneth Davis, were:
ceiving cash payments from
alumni slush fund set up duringil
reign of his predecessor, F.A. Dn
He dismissed the players fromi
team and turned the matter over
the NCAA. The NCAA respond:
to Wacker’s honesty by imposing
stiffest penalty ever assessed act
lege team prior to the so-callt
“death penalty” later dealt to Soul
ern Methodist.
Stripped of scholarships aj

Jim Wacker
ter.
The decision to retain Wacker was
not totally unexpected, but came on
the heels of a 56-10 thrashing by
Texas A&M Saturday that ended a
once-promising season on a decid
edly sour note.
Until quarterback Leon Clay
broke his thumb in the Baylor game,
the youthful Horned Frogs were 5-
1, riding a 5-game winning streak
and atop the Southwest Conference
standings with a 3-0 record.
They lost their last five games,
tumbling to 5-6. It was TCU’s sixth
losing season in a row and the sev
enth in Wacker’s eight years at the
helm.
His overall record at TCU is 33-
54-2.
On the flip side, Wacker recap
tured the magic of TCU’s golden
years in 1984 when he took the rem
nants of a 1-8-2 team to an 8-3 sea
son, flirted with a SWC title and
wound up in the Bluebonnet Bowl.
“Cinderella’s a Frog!” Wacker
proclaimed week after week, and he
fashioned a word that became al
most a battle cry: “Unbelieeeeeva-
ble!”
But Wacker learned early in the
crippled by other sanctions,
Frogs struggled along under wit
Wacker branded the “living
penalty.”
TCU pulled off a couple of map
upsets in 1989 and the Frogs wen;

juries to key players. But much mo:

i l
For Wacker, 1990 would be a
otal year, and he knew it. It di
help that Arkansas bolted the Sill
claiming that it could draw
crowds and get more television a
posure in the Southeastern Confe
ence.
That focused the spotlight on tl
relatively poor drawing power

Southern Mississippi’s
Hallman getting ready
for LSU coaching job
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) —
Southern Mississippi coach Curley
Hallman scheduled two days of in
terviews at Louisiana State to iron
out details of a contract that would
make him the Tigers’ 28th head
football coach.
If all goes well, Hallman still
would need approval by the LSU
Board of Supervisors, but board
members said they would endorse
him.
The process started with a Mon
day interview with athletic director
Joe Dean. On Tuesday, Hallman was
scheduled to meet with the LSU
Athletics Council.
The LSU job came open when
Mike Archer resigned amid reports
that he was about to be fired after
four years as head coach.
Before taking his first head coach
ing job at Southern Mississippi in
1987, Hallman put in 19 years as an
assistant under Bear Bryant at Ala
bama, Jackie Sherill at Texas A&M,
Danny Ford at Clemson and Richard
Williamson at Memphis State. He
coached both the offense and de
fense.
“I didn’t want to be a head coach
just for my ego,” he said. “I wasn’t
going to rush right out and take the
first job I could get. I wanted to be at
a place I could win and be successful.
It was a matter of timing. There are
a bunch of good assistant coaches
out there. You just have to be in the
right place at the right time.”
Under Hallman, the Golden Ea
gles are 23-11 and posted road victo
ries this year against Auburn and Al
abama, the first non-conference
team to achieve that feat since 1907.
Southern Mississippi has a Dec. 28
date in the All-American Bowl
against North Carolina State, their
second bowl game under Hallman.
Hallman has been the only candi
date to continue to state interest in
becoming LSU coach. North Caro
lina State coach Dick Sheridan all
but pulled out of the race on Satur
day. The other major candidate, for
mer Pittsburgh coach Mike Gottf
ried, officially withdrew Friday.
A 43-year-old Alabama native,
Hallman rooted for LSU as a boy
and played against the Tigers as an
All-Southwest Conference defensive
back at Texas A&M.
“I remember sitting in my living
room with my family listening to the
LSU games on the radio,” Hallman
said. “I was listening when Billy Can
non made his great run. I played in
Tiger Stadium three times. I just
have a lot of good memories of LSU
football. It’s one of those special pro
grams.”
According to published reports,
Dean chose Hallman last week and
LSU Chancellor William E. “Bud”
Davis approved the selection.
“For the first time in my memory,
a (football) coaching change has
been handled properly,” said Bo
Campbell, chairman of the Board of
Supervisors’ athletic committee.
Board member Charles Cusimano
said approval of Hallman “should
take about 15 seconds.”

White rushes
Oilers past Bill
HOUSTON (AP) — Lorenzo
White baffled Buffalo with hisca-
reer-best rushing and receiving
game and Warren Moon thre\>
two touchdown passes on Mon
dav night, carrying the Housion
Oilers to a 27-24 victory over the I
Bills and creating a three-wav,
first-place tie in the AFC Central
Houston increased its record to
6-5 to pull even with Cincinnati I
and Pittsburgh, while the Bills
dropped into an AFC East first
place tie with Miami at 9-2.
The loss snapped an eight
game winning streak for the Bills
who were trying to clinch at least
a wild-card plavoff berth.
I he outcome completed a
weekend sweep, with all six divi
sion leaders in the NFL losing,
Moon’s 28-yard pass to White
positioned the Oilers for a 3-yard
scoring pass to Leonard Harris
with 7:21 to go for a 27-17 lead.
Buffalo’s Thurman Thomas
scored on a 2-yard run with 3:29
left to trim Houston’s margintoa
field goal. But the Oilers held the
hall to the final gun, with Moon
throwing two third-down comple
tions for first downs.
That gave Moon exactly 30li|:
yards passing, his fourth consec
utive 300-yard game, one shy of I
the NFL record by Joe Montana,
White rushed 18 times for 1251
yards and caught five passes for;
89 yards. His previous best rush
ing total was 113 and his best re;
ceiving yardage was 82, bothlasl
year.
Moon’s 43-yard pass to Dre»
Hill set up White’s 1-yard rur
with 3:14 left in the third period
for a 20-17 Oilers lead.
