Wednesday, March 30,1
A man of many talents
By Stewart Doreen
The Battalion
Danny McCray fulfilled his
dream when he anchored the
Texas A&M’s mile relay to the na
tional championship earlier this
month, and in doing so has ele
vated himself as one of the greats
in the long line of sprinters in
A&M history.
“Danny is one of the best
400-meter runners we’ve ever
had at Texas A&M,” Head track
coach Ted Nelson said. “That is
saying a lot in that we’ve had a
young man who has set a world
record in the 440-yard dash and
§ uys who have won conference
tree years in a row. It is a big
step to say he is the best talent
we ve ever had here, but he really
is."
McCray, a sophomore sociolo
gy major from Killeen, came to
A&M as a first-team high school
All-American in track. His time
of 45.4 seconds was the nation’s
top prep mark in the 400-me
ters.. He also finished second in
the voting for national prep ath
lete of the year by Trade & Field
News.
McCray has lived up to the
billing that followed him from
high school level with his imme
diate success. In his freshman
year, he qualified for the NCAA
Outdoor Championships in the
200-meters, 400-meters and as
an anchor on the 400-meter and
1,600-meter relays. The 400-
meter relay posted a collegiate
best time of 38.97, and the
1,600-meter relay’s time at the
Longhorn Invitational was the
second fastest in the world
through early May.
"Danny is the type of guy that
you like to anchor your relay,”
Nelson said. “He wants to finish

first and hates to get beat.”
The winning continued into
this season when the sophomore
anchored the Aggie 1,600-meter
relay to the national title at the
NCAA Indoor Championships in
Indianapolis.
"Winning the national title is
the most special feeling I’ve had
in sports,” McCray said.
If McCray’s track accomplish
ments are not enough, he is also
a member of the A&M football
team. Even though he has not
made big impact in his first two
seasons, coaches hope the red-
shirt freshman can make an im
pact improving the skills that
made him one of the nation’s top
prep receivers.
‘ I think Danny has made great
strides,” Head football coach R.C.
Slocum said. “He has the poten
tial to become a starter. Track
has just limited his progress.”
McCray does admit the pres
sures ana time constraints that
go along with playing two sports
are demanding, but there is
nothing that can be said to make
him quit one sport or the anoth
er.
"If I had to quit one of the
two sports, 1 would not be hap
py,” McCray said. "Eve been do
ing both since the eighth grade
so it is like a way of life.”
Right now, McCray sees the
track team contending for the
Southwest Conference track
championship. However, he
would like to see more support
from student body. He hopes
more attention will come to the
program that features many ath
letes that rank with the nation’s
best.
“We have so many guys on
this team that rank the best in
the country and in the world,"
McCray said. “The fans can
make the difference between
someone quitting and someone
going for tne gold.”

coaching opportunity or I’d be an ignorant
g u y”
Diener s mother, Ann Diener of Dallas, told
members of the media in a special conference
call late Tuesday night that she was proud of
her son.
“Every year about this time I start to really
get on Drew about finding a good job for the
summer,” Mrs. Diener said. Tt looks like he
really found a good un’ this year.”
Diener said that he had to explain to his
mother that the job was not just for the sum
mer but would require work all year round.
“She didn’t take to kindly to the fact that
I’m going to have to withdraw from school
and put my education on hiatus for a while,”
Diener said. “It took a little prodding but
when I explained to her that I am probably
going to flunk out after this semester anyway,
she was forced to agree.”
Although Diener has not yet received word
from Jones that he indeed has the job, he
plans to begin withdraw procedures from the
University Wednesday morning.
“I’m sure I have it,” Diener said. “I was
the first person to apply for the job once it
became open.
“Never have I been the first person to apply
for a job and not gotten it.”
He said that he will not even consider the
possibility of Jones not go' ig ahead and hir
ing him.
"Hell. Tm a Dallas boy, been a Cowboy fan
since I popped out of my momma’s belly al
most 20 years ago," Diener said. "Jerry’s got
to consider that.
"He’s good people and I”d bet the farm
he’ll hire me.”
Diener’s devotion to doing whatever it
takes to do a good a job at the helm of ‘Amer
ica’s Team’ is not wnat will be in question if
he is hired. What will be held in question is
the fact that Diener has never coached at any
level and has minimal knowledge of the
game.
Diener likens his situation to that of Earvin
“Magic” Johnson’s who was hired last week
to coach his old team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
“Magic has no experience in coaching but
his presence alone will drive the Lakers to vic
tory,” Diener said. “Although I never played
football for Dallas, I figure that the presence
of a life-long fan like myself on the sidelines
should have a comparable effect.”
Still one has got to consider Diener’s quali
fications, which are slim to none. Better yet,
what will coaches, players, and executives
around the NFL think of Jones if he indeed
hires Diener? Granted, his vulgar display of
drunken misbehavior in an Orlando bar last
week that forced Johnson to resign, is not the
wisest move ever made in professional sports.
But by hiring Diener, does Jones want to
further his growing reputation as a football
buffoon or will he do the smart thing and
save face by hiring a man with legitimate
football experience?
Talk around the sports world says thl
Jones would like to hire a college coachiti
succeed Johnson, but hire a college student?
However, this is the infamous Jerry Jone
that the media, the NFL, and couch potatoes
nationwide are talking about; the same ]ern
Jones that made an idiot of himself in his
handling of Johnson and the Cowboys' firs:
head coach Tom Landry.
For Diener’s sake, let us hope thatls
knows what he is getting into if Jones dot
hire him'.
“I don’t think that J.J and I’ll bump not I
gins too often,” Diener said. "I’m a humhf
kid that as of right now lives in a 12’xl5’ce!
in the Commons and drives a piece of enf
that is sitting in the repair shop waiting fa I
someone to blow it up.
“Obviously, in terms of ego, I have none
