SPORTSWRITER
n the
verge of
a proba
ble franchise
move, the
Houston Oil
ers may be on
the verge of
striking gold
on the playing
field. This
may be hard
to believe for
diehard Oiler
. fans who’ve
anguished over the team’s con
stant absence from the Super
Bowl in recent years.
However, this year things are
looking up for a couple of reasons.
The Fisher Factor
Finally, the Oilers have a
bona fide leader on the sideline.
In 1994, Houston coach Jeff
Fisher was handed the reins of a
careless and virtually talent-
stripped NFL team just six games
before the end of the season.
In his short stint
as head coach, he has
taken the team from
a horrible 2-14 season
to an uplifting 7-9 fin
ish in 1995.
Fisher brings posi
tive potential to the
Oilers. He leads with
a controlled aggres
sion that players easily under
stand. He may pace the sideline
in record-setting fashion, but he
isn’t afraid to unleash some
anger on players who fail to live
up to their potential.
He has also brought good, tal
ented players to the franchise
and has the knowledge to maxi
mize their performance.
Contrary to past coaches,
Fisher brings emotion without
extra baggage.
When former coach Jack
Pardee was at the helm, the
team operated with a ‘Well, we’ll
get ’em next time’ attitude after
each loss. The sad part was that
they never got ’em.
Many times Pardee remained
calm when there was an obvious
calling for the main man to light
a fire under someone’s kiester.
Before Pardee, there was Mr.
Superstitious — Jerry Glanville.
Mr. Glanville’s off-the- field antics,
such as leaving tickets for Elvis at
the ticket window, have always
eclipsed the on-field production.
Ironically, the Oilers’ “House
of Pain” motto inflicted more
emotional wounds on fans with
their first-round playoff blun
ders than their physical hits on
opponents. In the end, the
King’s greatest fan never really
produced a hit football seas
that mattered.
With Fisher comes reap:
from players, other NFL m:
and the fans — and that.';
welcome change.
The Dynamic Trio
A few years back, an am:
tious coach by the name of J
my Johnson acquired threebli-
chip players with the hope
building a solid football tea:
The trio — Michael Irvin, E:
mitt Smith and Troy Aikmar,-
worked well enough to winafr
Super Bowls for America's ter
Meanwhile, the Oilersb
recently assembled theiroi
fruitful foundation of standov
With the final piece addedatt I
pie of weeks ago, Houston’sc|
namic trio consists of recehfl
Chris Sanders, running backE;L|
die George and quarterb-
Steve McNair.
Sanders could possibly devtj ■
op into the best receiver Hot
ton has ever had. Last seasoj
he could’ve been®,
taken for a veteran9
his prime instead of 1
rookie second-rom
draft pick.
The Ohio Star
alum made manyacr
batic and athleticai:
challenging receptk )
seem as easy as tab.
candy from a baby.
The Oiler backfield should b|
amazing when considering it k
showcase Heisman Trophy wi:
ner Eddie George. In his fim
season at Ohio State, Geon
made defenders look like Bam:
on ice, amassing nearly 2,007
rushing yards.
Although he’ll begin the sea
son as a backup to Chris Chat
dler, former Heisman Candida:-
Steve McNair will probably get:
chance at the quarterback pos:
tion this year.
With a brilliant college caree::
and a year at the professional
level under his belt, McNair
should be ready to exhibit bi ; |
multimillion-dollar worth.
In the near future, this tri:
could possibly follow in theta
steps of Dallas’ great three.
After his pursuit of a new sti
dium in Houston fell through,©
ers owner Bud Adams decided!
move the team to Nashville, 1;
could happen as early as net
year — even if the Oilers makes
good run in the playoffs.
It may be early to say, but will
the right blend of leadership and
a solid foundation of youth and
talent, the Oilers maybethf
team of the future — even if that
future may not lie in Houston.

adding facilities coordination
to his duties in 1979. He
worked under the title of assis
tant athletic director for train
ing, equipment and facilities
for seven years before being
named to his current post in
February 1994.
Cannon said Pickard pos
sesses more energy and trust
than most people.
“He has more energy than I
know of someone his age,”
Cannon said. “He’s been
around for many of the
changes. The integrity he
comes in with is fantastic.”
COACHING LEGENDS
Pickard’s experiences with
the University extend over the
careers of three of the most in
fluential coaches in A&M Foot
ball history — Paul “Bear”
Bryant, Gene Stallings and
current coach R.C. Slocum.
“If there was one word I had
to use to describe each of these
three individuals, coach
Bryant would be demanding,
coach Stallings would be in
tense, and coach Slocum would
be loyal,” Pickard said. “All
three possess an intense desire
to improve football and athlet
ics at Texas A&M.”
KYLE’S MAKEOVERS
Pickard compared the excite
ment of present-day improve
ments to Kyle Field to those
that have occurred in the past.
“Kyle Field was an unbeliev
able place (in the ’50s),”
Pickard said. “It was relatively
new and held about 48,000
people. In 1954, they added the
new part of the second deck
and talked about the possibili
ties of what was to come.
“In 1967, I saw them com
plete the second deck and add
the new press box. In 1980, I
saw the third deck go up, and
hopefully I’ll be around to see
the expansion of the northern!
zone in 1999.”
CHANGING TIMES
Pickard says the recent con
version of Kyle Field from As
troturf to a grass playing sur
face was a social change and a
recruiting move for the future
of A&M football.
“Players have a ‘social atti
tude’ toward artificial turf,'
Pickard said. “The social envi
ronment is placing an empha
sis on having grass right now,
It is very intense.”
Pickard said A&M’s rivalry
with the University of Texas,
the challenge of playing in the
Big 12 Conference and the ex
posure the school will receive
because of it made leaving the
Southwest Conference a less
painful task.
“The exposure the Univer
sity will receive from the
move will be great,” Pickard
said. “It gives a nostalgic feel
ing of what we had in the
Southwest Conference.
“To tell you the truth, I don't
think there was too much of a
feeling of breakup because we
still have the rivalry with Texas.
If we had lost that, then maybe
the loss of the conference would
have been felt even harder."
SENSE OF DIRECTION
Pickard connects the suc
cess of A&M athletics with
the accomplishments of the
University.
He praises those individuals
— such as former A&M presi
dent James Earl Rudder —that
were brave enough to change the
face of the University to insure
success in the future.
“I just loved General Rud
der,” Pickard said. “He was a
fabulous guy with a great vision
for this school. We were respec
tive of his war heroism. (We’ve
been) fortunate to have people
(like Rudder) that were vision
ary of the University.”
